bro u guys serious going with just anyone from forum?

Very interesting route. Too bad the timing does not suits me if not I will hop on. Where are you expecting to camp? Lake Volvi?

I know camping in someone's yard in NZ could be a problem, would it be an issue back there?

You are right about that if you are to head to Lake Ohrid. You could opted for a safer route to Skopje where transportation should not be a problem if to head back to Thessalonniki, Greece. But I believe you got your own reason to go Lake Ohrid.

When I look at your initial itinerary, earlier assumption I thought you discard Albania from the listing. How many days/months are you expecting from this adventurous expedition?

That's the interesting part about hitchhiking. Well, travel to an unknown territory for even instant our neighboring country like Thailand also I print out the town or places which I wanted to go in their language. Fortunately, Thais do speak a lil English which could be helpful at times.

Turkey shouldn't be a problem at all. The young one are good with English. Greece you might encounter a little issue and I totally clueless on the other two countries (I personally wouldn't head to Kosovo  ).

I wish I could hitchhike a long duration like you did but I think the company will approved max 10 - 12 days for me which is not sufficient to do such adventurous movement. Perhaps we could tag along some other trip in the near future.

Hope you can find a companion for this trip. I never advice you to head alone. Best wishes from me.

wow, camping? is it safe? have you try in other country before? which country? why not stay is hostel?

By staying in hostel, i can still see nice view and get to know friends from different country. For me safety first
