Luke - extraordinary scottish guy




                Luke was another hitchhiker in the same gas station. We asked him where did he go(if somebody is going in the same direction as you are and he or she was first in the gas station or another hitch-spot it’s educate to wait until he/she will get a lift, then you can start to hitch-hike). Luke was going almost the same direction as we were going. We started to talk, did some picnic and we had really nice conversation. The interesting thing is that Luke was in the travel for 10 months: he was coming back by hitch-hiking from…Papua New  Guinea. In 2012 Luke graduated from university in Edynburg, he finished geography. Then he went to work to earnn some money for his travel. Next he bought ticket to Papua New Guinea and from there he started to hitchhike, coming back to Scotland;) The most surprised thing in his journey was that people in China gave him money or some clothes, not only rich guys. What’s more chineese policeman gave him a lift for 1000 kilometers. I mencioned about Luke in this blog because all of his stories are amazing examples that you never know when or where you will find a help or such interesting person as Luke. It’s also an evidence that hitch-hiking really works.

  1. Hitch-hiking from Papua New Guinea to Edinburgh must be quite a challenge. Do you know how long his Scottish guy travelled altogether? It must have been months.
