Made it after 4500km of hitchhiking, 46 rides, brilliant people, good times, tough times, but well worth it.

So I leave on Monday. Going to write a pre trip blog post on Sunday so look out for it!

So after three years of self endulgent travel I have decided to make 2011 a year of giving. I'm going to hitchhike from Washington Services near Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK to Istanbul, Turkey. I'm going to stop off on a fair few places on the way, my only real time constraints are my six weeks off work.

I have decided to complete my challenge for International HIV/AIDS Alliance; a worthy cause.

I will update this page and my blog as I go along so please follow my travel and support the cause by hitting the donate button on this page!

It's going to be an interesting trip through some amazing and often dangerous places.
