Hi,
I'm looking to hitch hike the world starting in July, using cars, lorries, boats, bikes, planes in fact anything that is faster than walking and is free or very very cheap.
Although I do not want to be tied to schedules or routes I do intend on making it to India for Kumbh Mela in January. After that, there is no plan but to meet up with whom ever comes my way. I really do not want to plan a route until I am on my journey, maybe I get an idea or meet someone and decide to travel to a neighboring country, maybe notâ¦
Iâm a British National and I know that the EU will be relatively easy to travel through and I don't think I need Visas (do I?), but does anyone have experience with getting Visas in any Middle Eastern or Asian countries? Do I need an exit plan for then to let me in?
This is a traveling & working hybrid trip. Do all countries require a green card to work in them. If I find a community I like I may chill there for a couple of months to make some cash before moving on. (I'm going to travel with a 13" Mac book Pro to work with as I am a Life Coach, Sound Engineer, Composer, Producer, Voice Over Artist and Teacher).
Does anyone have experience with any of this or anything similar? If so Iâd appreciate some words of wisdom on the subject.
Thanks for your help.
Namaste

Just a few thoughts for you to keep in mind:
Be aware of the laws about hitchhiking in each country. In some countries it is actually illegal. Also be aware of other laws of the country - you will be a guest in that country so live by the laws of that country. That is one area where people often get in difficulty when traveling. They continue to try to live by the laws and customs of their own country.
Most countries will require you to have some kind of a work permit to work, so be very careful of that. It can get you arrested and/or deported. Some countries will require you to show proof that you have sufficient finances for the duration of your stay.
Many countries will require an exit visa. Check here to learn more about that. And the bureaucracy can be significant in some of the countries you plan to visit, so make sure that you understand the specific requirements.
Keep your money and documents on your person, preferably under your shirt or in a concealed place, with just money for the day in your accessible pocket.
Buy train passes and bus passes when you can. They are often the cheapest way to get around a country.
Research a list of the youth hostels for each country you plan to visit.
