On Thursday the 12th June I’ll hitch-hike to Brussels. Google Maps says that’s 771 km on the A2, which should take around 7 hours. But hitch-hiking can (and will) take much longer.

I’ll be leaving Berlin around 7 AM, and I’ll be really happy if I can make it to Brussels on the same day. I will be meeting some friends there, but they leave on Saturday morning.

I will try my chance on CouchSurfing in Brussels (and ask at a few other places along the way just to make sure I have a place to sleep in case I can’t make it to my destination in one day). Needless to say, I am still unprepared and haven’t put together most of the gear I’ll need in my journey. This extended weekend in Berlin was exhausting, I didn’t get much done…
