Going to write a pre trip blog post on Sunday so look out for it!</p> <p>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.</p> <p>I have decided to complete my challenge for International HIV/AIDS Alliance; a worthy cause.</p> <p>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!</p> <p>It's going to be an interesting trip through some amazing and often dangerous places.</p> <p>Peter</p>
