About me

I am Ensar from Turkey, I am a hitchhiker from when I was 16.
Check my page about my trip : facebook.com/ensarthehitchhiker
I have been hitchhiking for 7 months now, I have been to
Turkey-Georgia-Azerbaijan-Iran-India-Nepal-India- Thailand - Malaysia.
My dream is to visit all countries and to study US !!. But maybe you want to learn how did I become this person?? Here my story;
It all started when I was 16 years old. I asked a lot of questions even sometimes it is not related to any topic at all. I was a curious dreamer who always finds himself in trouble and talks about dangerous topics. I am a trouble maker, rocker and a more or less hopeless human being :D .
I didn’t have much friends when I was a kid, I was always the one inviting them to drink something, swim in a mossy lake ( 0 degrees in winter) or tell them to skip class to go to this awesome cave ( has one day left in allowable absences in school), or go Ankara by train to go to Düş Sokağı Sakinleri concert ( 9 hours to go by train, no money , no place to stay , no permission from parents, underaged to enter concert). Those times, the issues were not important problems for me, I was just exploring all the things I wanted to do (that’s why I was mostly alone for all these adventures.)
When I ask my friends to do these unusual things with me, they usually ask “WHY?!”, WHY? Warum ? Pourquoi ?Zashto? Por qué? Proč? Pochemu? zašto? You tell me traveler WHY? okey okey don't tell me I understand you but they never and ever understood me. I know that it is not conventional, but this is the curious age and I wanted to try a lot of things.
One day, the jacked up bus ticket prices! I have probably cursed a lot on this day, but it was the best thing ever to have happened in my life. Really? I am 16 years old, my school money is for basic needs, I didn’t need to pay more for bus tickets! That day, my friend and I decided to shred our city buses card! That also got rid of my chains! For the first time in my life, I started to hitchhike. Oh man, I cannot forget that moment when the first car stopped at us and the driver asked, “Where are you going kids?” (Until now these words became an inside joke for us). First, hitchhike to school, 2nd day hitchhiked again, and again, and again, all week we hitchhiked to school.

We realized that hitchhiking is free transportation, we thought why don’t we visit neighbouring cities? We did that, and it was awesome! These trips made me taste a feeling of freedom. The following year, we hitchhiked to a rock concert thousand of miles away from home. I was 3 months short from being in a legal entry age, but I was like, “Hey guys, I have hitchhiked for this festival for 38 hours, I had this fake camping tent and got my Iron Maiden t-shirt and a bandana with a skeleton to go with it! I am all for this rock festival :D You will let me in buddy, won’t you? (They did let me in!)
This is the story of how I started to hitchhike smile
While travelling, I am always fascinated by meeting new people and to know them. After that festival, I hitchhike on every free time I have to explore my country and of course to explore the world. I am still doing that, and I will still keep exploring smile
I am a person who wants to find out life’s meaning in his own way,

I didn’t write here who I am, but really (?!) can you know a person by an introduction? No my friend, no. Let’s meet one day and I will introduce myself properly!
See you soon my friend
