After considering many options we decided we wanted to make this trip as immersive as possible, and what better way to do that than through hitchhiking. As for the route, we wanted to eliminate any travel by plane. So the best option was to start from our hometown (Ghent, Belgium). And east toward India was the way to good weather, diverse cultures and some solid rock climbing. Only later did we discover we were mimicking the historical hippy trail from Western-Europe to India.
We will be visiting 14 countries:
Belgium
Luxembourg
France
Switzerland
Austria
Hungary
Romania
Bulgaria
Turkey
Georgia
Iran
Pakistan
Nepal
India
