During the last weeks I had an amazing time traveling! I’ve joined the hitchhiking trip from Berlin until rivahhhside Warsaw! :-)
• My bag was 9,3 kilo’s heavy, which is the weight of approximately 6 rabbits. In the first instance I wasn’t sure if I packed my bag rightly: do I have enough with me (not too much, not too little); and all these ‘what if I need ‘..’ (fill in something you havent used for the last 6 months like diarrhea pills) questions, but then I was like méhhhh take as less as possible. I was surprised how little I actually need and it felt like a relief :-).
• About showering: someone from the group thought me a very interesting shower technique. Warning (!): not suitable when your short of breath.
Its called Bulgarian Shower (or the equivalent Puerto Rican). This is what you need:
> A lot of sprayable deodorant or cologne
> Clothespin to put on your nose
> Excellent ventilation
And now just spray deodorant all over your body and clothes to mask your smell! The coverage will last for at least a couple of hours and if its gone no water is needed at all!
• Also we had on our bucket list ‘help a local in every country’. In Berlin we did this by painting a classroom (see our earlier post with pictures). I specifically liked coloring the school because you could see immediate result of what we were doing. The room was yellow with cool children drawings at the moment we started. And after only 1 hour the half of the class was painted. Because we were with a group it was a lot of fun, efficient, and everyone was involved (including a cute pupil of the school who made a peace-sign to us; made my day).
Thank you for reading and Enjoy!!!!
