"It is not naive to believe in the good in people"

Alexandra Menz and Bernhard Endlicher, both 25, are a couple from Vienna who have been hitchhiking around the world since 2022—or, as they say in Austria, "hitchhiking." They met in school. Today, they document their travels on Instagram under Hitchhikingdiary . Within two and a half years, they say they have been in more than 4,000 vehicles and covered a good 200,000 kilometers.
