Ondrej Špánik•Slovakia•We were tired from pandemic this pandemic that, so my sister walked into my room one day and was like something something hitchhiking, something something cheap flight tickets. Because I had enough of my mundane ways of life, I simply said "ok"...
For the first two days we were rather self-centered and traveled as we would usually, but then the world opened to us. Issues seemingly disappeared and complaints stopped existing. As such, as my mind changes, the writing style will also change a lot. After those two days we befriended a random guy, started actually hitchhiking, became more familiar and appreciative of different people's ways of life and went on for the rest of our first journey together.
Of course once you start, you can't stop, so more adventures followed for each of us, but those stories have yet to be told.
