This Guy Traveled 7600 Kms From Scotland To India By Exchanging BEER For Rides And Rooms!

Planning your next backpacking trip? Don’t forget to get some canned-beers. Reason being, next time you can trade it for food and accomodation. Nope! We are not making it up, a backpacker did it and it sure works.

On a backpacking-venture, traveller Emmanuel ‘Manny’ Marshall hitchhiked, all the way from Edinburgh to Delhi, trading craft beer cans for couch-surfing, travelling and of course, for food. He had 120 cans of Innis & Gunn that was his currency for eight weeks.

In his blog Manny, before he set out on his adventure, wrote, “Right now I’m setting out from Edinburgh and the big mission is starting. I’m heading off to hitchhike my way across Europe to the east, all the way to India, the spiritual home of IPA.”

Here’s his beautiful journey.

1. In Paris.

 

2. In Athens.

 

3. With a married couple at the Charles Bridge.

 

4. He traded craft beer for free rides.

 

5. And made some friends along the way.

 

6. Delhi belly.

 

7. Beer-bonding.

 

8. He ‘can’ do it. Overcoming language barriers through beer-cans.

 

9. Lift, please.

 

10. Touchdown, Goa! He’s in the right place, isn’t he?

Now that’s how you beer-bond, mate.
