This is the travel blog of backpackers Rochssare Neromand-Soma (28) and Morten HübbeWe (30) who met at the same university in Germany, where they both studied Literature and Media. They finished school in 2011 and started travelling immediately.
Their journey started with a trip to South America. They planned it as a six-month visit but ended up falling in love with the warm people and the breathtaking beauty of the region. It all started with hitchhiking (which is really common in Argentina and Chile) and enjoyed it so much that they kept travelling until they had discovered the entire continent.
They ended up staying back for over two years, and had by then, hitchhiked more than 50.000 kilometers, mostly with truck drivers.
On the way, they met a Frenchman who told them about his hitchhiking adventures in Europe. He went from Paris to Istanbul all in just four days. This impressed the couple enough to decide to hitchhike all the way from Germany to India.
Today, they are in Pakistan. And look forward to travel throughout the country before proceeding to their last destination.
Culturally shocked in Turkey
Coming from Germany, travelling through Asia is a quite unique experience from what we are used to seeing and feeling in our home country. There are various colours and odours, particular emotions and sensations that we had never felt before and we had to learn how to deal with them.
Everything is new, unknown and exotic. Even the sky looks different.
