It might be the best thing we have: freedom. Today

It might be the best thing we have: freedom. Today we celebrate 75 years of freedom in The Netherlands.⠀
⠀
I hitchhiked through many countries with less freedom: internet restrictions, one party politics, corruption etc.⠀
⠀
In Turkmenistan, they even banned the word 'Corona' lately. Zero cases have been reported...⠀

While travelling it surprised me how famous Holland is for tulips.⠀
⠀
It seems like Dutch stereotypes differ per country. For example in Iran and China people would often mention tulips.⠀
⠀
In Kazakhstan, Russia and Mongolia they would often refer to marijuana.⠀
⠀
While in Georgia, Kyrgyzstan and even Turkmenistan, the Dutch cows and their high milk yield get more attention.⠀
⠀
Other things people mentioned about Holland: legal same-sex marriage, cheese, stroopwafels (Dutch cookies) and tall people (I'm an exemption).⠀
⠀
Last but not least, everywhere people know about Dutch football: Gullit, van Basten, Koeman, Robben and even de Ligt.⠀
⠀
Recently I found out there are some fields only 15 minutes from where I live. Thanks to @waanzinnigewereld

Hitchhiking empty roads...⠀
⠀
The police set up road blocks and performs checks to enforce the movement restrictions in Malaysia.⠀
⠀
So I guess it's wise to take a bus instead of hitchhiking to the airport tomorrow 💡⠀

Hitchhiked to Kuala Lumpur!⠀
⠀
Two weeks ago I arrived to Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia! My (new) goal was to reach Singapore, but due to closed borders I won't make it there.⠀
⠀
Kuala Lumpur is a worthy replacement tho! Mostly I'm not a big fan of cities but Kuala Lumpur is modern, relatively clean and has good street food ✌️⠀
⠀
btw. right now I am in a village in between KL and Singapore. Because of Corona, Malaysia is in lockdown for two weeks. So I am in quarantine in my hostel with only one other guest. At least it's a safe place with good food.⠀

Almost one year of hitchhiking! 11 months on the road!⠀
⠀
What an experience! I've met so many nice people, seen great landscapes and interesting cultures. But last months I became quite tired. I still like the traveling, but it's different.⠀
⠀
On my whole trip I stayed in just a few places for a week, never longer than 9 days. Moving around became quite exhausting last months. I need to acclimatize every time; where to eat, where to sleep and meeting new people again. I never thought I would say it; but it seems like I need a bit of structure sometimes as well.⠀
⠀
That's why I slowed down my travel pace last month. I worked more on my laptop and did less activities.⠀
⠀
Actually I booked a flight back home, to renew my travel insurance (Dutch travel insurance + return flight is almost the same price as getting a new international insurance abroad). Also it would be nice to see friends and family again. After that my plan was to travel again.⠀
⠀
But most likely my flight will be cancelled as it is through China (The Netherlands doesn't accept flights from China due to Corona). So I am not sure whether I will go home or not. It's quite an uncertain situation, just like everyone has uncertainty with the virus right now.⠀
⠀
After all I don't have any urgent reason to be back in The Netherlands, so there's not too much to complain, just inconvenient uncertainty.⠀

Hitchhiking day trip to the tea plantations ☕⠀
⠀
I always try to avoid taking tours by just hitchhiking there myself. It saves me a lot of money, feels more authentic and I plan my own day ✌️ Often it works out well.⠀
⠀
Today it took me 4 Cars for only 20km in total 😬⠀
