All my travel projects stem from real social problems and what media highlights—I'm an explorer driven to uncover truths. Why hitchhike now? It started with curiosity and bold missions. First, Kashmir to Kanyakumari on an electric scooter, sparked by the tragic Priyanka Reddy gang rape case. I wanted to spotlight women's safety on India's roads. Then, my All India bike ride (20,000 km!) to understand how monks thrive without money—proving cashless living builds resilience. Now, a recent article shook me: Drunk truck drivers linked to rising rape cases. Why? What's the mentality behind alcohol-fueled aggression? To grasp truck drivers' lives—their long hauls, isolation, and struggles—I chose hitchhiking, especially with truckers. Seven lifts later (trucks, bikes, autos), I've heard their stories: Fatigue, family pressures, easy booze access. No judgments—just empathy and solutions. Hitchhiking isn't random; it's my way to challenge stereotypes, foster trust, and spark change. Eco-friendly, budget-free, and story-packed—it's freedom with purpose! Why hitchhike when you can book a flight? Simple: It's the ultimate test of trust, resilience, and real connections. In a world of apps and AC coaches, hitchhiking strips it down to raw adventure. No money? No problem—strangers become saviors. I've chosen this for India's 20,000 km and now Nepal because it forces you to live in the moment. Each ride teaches life lessons: patience from waiting, joy from shared laughs, safety from gut instincts. It's eco-friendly (less vehicles on road), budget-free (survive on kindness), and story-rich. Google "hitchhiking Nepal safety"—it's doable with smarts! For women travelers, I say: Stay alert, share locations, and trust your vibe. It's empowered me beyond words.
