07/05/2014 Every good time must have an end... I'm leaving Ukraine, but maybe I'll come back sooner than I think ;) For now, let's conquer Romania ! This time I couldn't get any recommendation from my friends about where to go in Romania, so I have to pick a destination by myself. Ok, let's have a look at the map, I summon the spirits of lucky rand

29/05/2014 Vlad & Raisa are going today to Odessa in Ukraine and they can take me there ! That's very good for me because it would have been very hard to hitchhike to there, it's not a very popular destination those days. You probably heard about this tragic event on May 2nd where a fight between pro and anti Russians ended up with 38 people dying

01/05/2014 I'm travelling for the very first time with a companion. I convinced Ilya to try hitchhiking, because that's the best way of travelling, you already know it ;) it's his first hitchhiking experience, I hope he will like it. Let it be... awesome !! Now we are in the deeeep countryside Juliette helps us catching our 1st car (and still shy t

23/05/2014 At the end of the month I must be in Kiev, my friends told me there will be the Days of the city. I don't know what it is but I feel that I can't miss it. I have 1 week and I'm close to the moldovan border, this country ranked 1st in a alcohol consumption study and they are said to produce a lot of great wine... That's enough to convince

28/04/2014 It's time to leave Lviv. As I met Ilya there I have a plan for the next days, we're going to take a deep breathe of nature in the Carpathes together. But first I still have to visit this couple in Ivano-Frankivsk that I contacted on couchsurfing. Good, because that's exactly on the way ! The roads look good... from here First experience

25/05/2014 Roma took me home safe last night as I was drunk, but he kept the keys and doesn't answer to the phone. I'm locked in the apartment until he finally comes at 6 PM to free me ! Time to get to the end of the city I start hitchhiking at 7 PM. I've never started such late, it's Sunday evening and I'm going to Chişinau, the capital city with

21/04/2014 Monday, April 21st. Today I turn 25. I leave my new Slovak family and juniorness behind, my new adult life starts in Ukraine ! On googlemaps they don't say how much time you need to pass the borders... Ukraine, where the word "border" suddenly makes sense The first big city in Ukraine is Lviv, I firstly decided this would be my next step

16/05/2014 This week end I must be back in Ivano-Frankivsk to play for a Street art festival. It's quite far so I plan 2 days to reach Ivano-Frankivsk. Why 2?? Because I feel in the blowing wind that it will be a very tricky way... Only 5h on the map, but... I'm a poor lonesome hitchhiker There are 2 roads that lead to Ivano-Frankivsk. First one is

20/05/2014 There is a small country named Moldova that I almost forgot ! Hey I cannot pass in the area and not visit the #1 drinking country in the world ! So let's go this way, that's a perfect plan because I can stop on the way in Kamianets-Podilskyi, small town that a lot of people recommended me. Great ! Vamos It's in the middle of a national p

13/05/2014 After this crazy week end in Baia Mare I'm ready to enter deeper into Romania. I don't have much time because Juliette (my friend from Ivano-Frankivsk, remember her?) invited me to play for a street art festival that she is organising in her town next week end. Ukraine calls me back ! So I only have few days, that I decided to spend in C
