Almost gone! [~ORIGINAL POST~]

Well, after a few minor set-backs (a crucial male partner dropping out on us 6 days before departure; finding new males to hitch with but have our plans clash & finally finding a stable pair) we are officially on track to start the hitch on Wednesday March 26th!

Just need to buy maps and some sort of white boards/cardboards for our hitch signs tomorrow and then we will be gone! I will try to update on our journey as much as possible!

In the mean time, you will be able to track us via the Hitch charity's website:

We are doing this hitch-hike to Morocco to raise money for Link Community Development - a charity dedicated to improving the quality of education in Africa.

By sharing and developing skills its work is bringing about some remarkable, long-lasting changes in education, helping over a million children to have a better start in life.
