Hitchhiking romeAfter almost 10 months I left Rome for our nomad travel, I eventually came back yesterday! We arrived at 1 AM after 12 hours of trip from Venice (Mestre) and 5 different rides. It's a road supposed to take you about  4:30 hours if you have a car, it means that we waited about 7 hours hitchhing a ride, despite or 2 of the rides we waited less than 5 minutes! Italy is not the best place for hitchhiking, even if you are moving through gas stations you need patience, not only for the waiting, but in particular for the arrogant reactions of the people! Luckily, also some encouraging from nice families not able to pick us up that were sincerely sorry and wanted to try to fit in 7 + backpacks in a small car!

Now it's time to slow down a little, relax, meet friends, and plan the next trip as a gypsy traveller!
