Hitchhiking in Australia: What a White Van and Six Aussie Men Taught Me About Trust | TRAVEL TALK #191
Would you hop into a white van with six strangers while hitchhiking solo across Australia?
If you've ever wondered what hitchhiking is really like as a solo female traveler, this episode is for you.
This week’s Travel Talk was inspired by host Kim Anderson’s recent conversation with Ana Lucas, aka The Sustainable Backpacker (Episode #190). Ana is a solo female traveler who’s currently hitchhiking all the way from Portugal to Australia. That's over 40,000 km, across 25 countries!
That conversation brought back a memory of Kim's first time hitchhiking in Australia, and a moment that tested intuition, courage, and trust in the kindness of strangers.
You’ll hear about one surprising ride that shaped the journey in unexpected ways… and what it taught about listening to your gut, staying open, and finding connection where you least expect it.
In a world that often focuses on what can go wrong, this episode explores the surprising and uplifting moments when things turn out even better than you ever imagined.
In this episode, you’ll explore:
- What it’s really like to hitchhike as a solo female traveler
- Why trusting your instincts is everything on the road
- Sometimes life requires you to literally fight for your dreams
If you’ve ever wondered if the world is still full of kind, generous humans, or just needed a sign to follow that dream tugging at your heart - this is it.
Hit play and send this one to a friend who’s always down for the adventure!
