DiDi Madloba Everybody!

After hitchhiking close to 2,000 Km, Georgia was without any questions an excellent surprise. Not only for discovering a whole new country but also for the people I've met that made this trip so special - Koka, the always awake manager of Sky Hostel in Tbilisi who has kindly picked me up and dropped me off from the airport. Ever in a good mood, Koka also works as an air traffic controller during his free time; Regan Cannon, the brave american from Tennessee who is hitchhiking from France to Australia and was stuck in Tbilisi as all is stuff has been stolen in Turkey; Regina, the manager of Zugdidi Hostel who is in Georgia for 2 years and is now moving to Tbilisi to start her master on Caucasus Countries Sciences; Natia, an old face from my Erasmus in Lithuania who is now moving to Egypt to teach social sciences. To all of you and many others, all the best luck!


A special thanks to Ricardo Silva who has given me the idea and encouragement to write this blog and, finally, the biggest and most special thanks to Giedre for "organising" the trip. You have been simply wonderful since the begging.. Thank you for your excellent Russian who allowed me to enjoy the rides while you're chatting with the drivers.. Without you it wouldn't have been the same ;)

Over and Out.

Truck Drivers

This post is to all the truck drivers that have kindly stopped for us. Some recent cars have seat belts that give you warm hugs but big trucks (TIR) have these amazing seats with springs! They are just the most comfortable seats ever ;) a big thanks to you all!
