Longest truck ride

One of the longest rides I’ve ever hitched. It was a Kazakh guy going to Moscow delivering melons. He was really nice and we talked about so many different things. He was quite religious, but did not mind me being an atheist. We went through an incredibly crappy patch of road where his trailer broke, so we spent some time replacing screws. Once he parked to sleep, I collected my things to sleep in my tent and agreed to meet up tomorrow to continue towards Russia. Once he learned about the tent, he offered me a place in the truck and I gladly accepted – first night in a truck!

Old guy in a zhiguli

Older guy in a zhiguli going home from work. Had a good conversation about old Soviet cars.

Good soldier Švejk

I was wearing my beige, somewhat military looking shirt and this guy pulls over and says “I look at you and I think: Good soldier Švejk!”. Little did he know I was from Slovakia :P Nice trucker, quite educated.

Uzbek trucker

Neat Uzbek guy, really friendly. Wanted to go live in the US.
