One of the best ways to get to know the people and the culture in a country is through hitchhiking. The best book about hitchhiking I have ever read is Kinga Freespirit’s Led by Destiny. It’s full of inspiring diary style chapters and various pictures from around the globe.
Kinga and Chopin began with nearly $600, 2 backpacks, a one-way ticket, almost no plans and many dreams. Kinga’s book is an amazing story that starts in Poland with a one-way flight to New York City and continues to Toronto, Alaska, Mexico, Central America, South America, New Zealand, Vanuatu, Australia, Brunei, Taiwan, Japan, and through Asia and East Europe. Apart from interesting writing, Led by Destiny includes beautiful photographs from all over the world.
I admire their strenght to accomplish their goal of hitchhiking around the world and hope more people will set out to realize their travel dreams.
