When Germans Saw an Indian Doing This!
It was a long weekend. I tried something I had never done ever. Though I had hitchhiked in many countries, this time, while I was in Germany, I tried to hitchhike with this signboard. How was the experience??

ABOUT ME
I'm Varun.
I am a full-time traveller now (yes, I quit my job to follow my dreams). I love solo travelling & meeting people. After travelling extensively in Incredible India for years, I stepped out of my country and realised, how beautiful the world is! I started making travel web series in Hindi full of travel tips and tricks, especially for budget travel and sustainable tourism. My dream is to inspire people to explore this beautiful world and learn the best things to make our world a better place to live in. I was awarded the prestigious 'National Tourism Award' by the Government of India for my contributions in the field of promotion of Tourism. Thanks to my viewers, I now get invitations from across the globe to visit their places and show them to the world.

Hi Varun. I also live in Berlin. A doctor here since 2014. I would have suggested you to put your sign in German as "Egal wo" instead of Anywhere. In Germany it is very difficult to find people who understand English sometimes. And then again when you write Anywhere is a bit doubtful since the Refugee crisis began. Take me along with you 😅. I speak fluent German on a native level. I wouldn't speak German but would understand what the Germans are saying. It could be a fun experiment so as to know what the German people think and say when you don't speak German. Just an idea! All the best.. do reach out if you need help or suggestions in Berlin or in Germany.

One of the most professional and an educated vlogger i love your way of talking and explaining about places
Today's vlog reminds us of an episode in Serbian series. Over there too you waited for long to get a lift but you were successful. The generous truck driver and the elderly man helped you. ( frankly speaking came to know this concept of hitchhiking first from your videos only) Today's vlog is a totally different experience. Firstly no definite destination- ANYWHERE😊 While travelling via Deutsche Bhan, S Bhan and bus -6:58exquisite scenary of nature.( yes nature always heals mind and heart) 9:57 a daring way through the jungles. 11:17 though 8:30pm still the existence of some natural light. The man at the counter of truckstop hotel was very helpful. Hatsoff to your patience and energy and planning(we had already seen that in your USA episodes). You have come across a totally new adventure and experience in this new country. Wait will be always there to see further adventure via your awesome vlogs. Sunday mornings feel full seeing your travel vlogs. May you upcoming days lead you to the path of success and positivity. Keep up the good spirit. Stay safe. Best wishes.......

Everything is soo good, along with the nature sceneries. Loved it sir! 🌞
Great video Varun bhai and cheers to Mohammed for being so helpful and polite. MashAllah!!
Hitchhiking is not so common in Germany. Germans are usually very upfront. But they have not yet reached the point where they are so generous as to take strangers into their cars. Btw hats off to your level of patience, dude.
You know what, the choice of your music makes video special ❤ It creates something within us, I don't know what word I should use. But yess, it feels so much lovely.

Awaiting your vlogs like anything. It always feels like we are traveling with you.❤
I think Europeans are far too reserved people so probably they did not offer you lift .... but still you took that very sportingly .... i guess that is part and parcel of traveller's life ..... the only pleasurable part of this video was crystal clear picture quality and your jovial charming smile varun ..... 🤗🤗 .... awaiting your reply as always ...... 😀

This was majorly because of Easter weekend. Majority of the population spend time with their families and everything stay closed with no activities in public areas. I'm telling you from my experience living in EU. Also "anywhere" was not a great idea. Europeans specially germans, they are very clear and specific with their plans, procedures, steps, etc. Writing specific destination, along with route might have worked. But you're true inspiration to stay positive and optimistic.
Varun.. you are crazy, in your own beautiful way. Shunning your comfort zone to experience people and culture. You inspire and teach so many. Take a bow, you lit soul! _/\_
Bhaiya aapke kuch vlogs se wahin purani waali mehak aa rahi hai.... keep making such wonderful videos for us.. 😊😊❣️
Hi Varun, it will be near impossible to find a ride in Germany, or even in some parts of Scandinavia. Germans believe in a very planned lifestyle, where there is hardly any room for randomness usually. In addition, in the last 10 years, sociopolitical situations inside and outside Germany have forced the people in Germany to feel a sense of hostility when engaging with non-German looking persons. On the other hand, there must be apps where people share long-distance rides with people going in the same direction; and that could be the closest to hitchhiking that you can choose.
Hi,varunbhai,Highway in Germany called Autobahn.i first time visited Germany through you.thank you,see you next week
Igta hai life aisi hi chalti rhe....aur hume aapko dekhate rhe...aapke video aise chlte rhe ...❤️❤️❤️
The real OG is back in form….that’s the thing i am missing in my life 👏👏
I liked how Varun bhai you tried to get hitchhike without losing hope. My more than 2 years of living experience in Germany says, people in East Germany are more reserved towards immigrants than West Germany. You're a role model to me when it comes to hitchhiking. I'd still like to see you doing hitchhiking in Germany, maybe in different parts of Germany.
Varun you are truly a motivator for them who scare to travel but you show them how much beautiful this country is❤
Bhai ye hui na bat , otherwise ab to youtuber earn krne lag gaye h to Hitchhiking to bhul hi gye . Thanks apne vpass start kra . Pls aga bhi continue krna kabhi time milega to travel krne ka . Lot's of love from Rajasthan 💗🙌
Varun, I'm originally from Uttar Pradesh but live in a village north of Potsdam, not too far from Berlin. If you ever visit Potsdam, I'll be happy to show you around. Cheers!
This is really a wonderfup video. Thank you for making this video !
German Highways are known as Auto Bahn. Also Deutsche Bahn is actually pronounced as Doishe Bahn or Doish Bahn. My brother in law is now a German Citizen and has been living in Germany since 2010. He would be more than happy to lend you a helping hand whenever needed. We have been travelling in and around Germany since almost 6 years. Hence all these places look so familiar

Sir there's such pureness in your heart. I genuinely got happy with you at sunset when after a day of waiting and disappointment, only nature could make you feel so happy, i felt that with you. Germany seems a bit like lonely planet vast beautiful landscapes but nobody around. I hope you meet some amazing warm people and show us a very different vibe than this video. I really loved the music choice for this video 🫰
Wow, You may not able to hichhike this time but shown such an informative info. Lots of people gonna get benefited. ❣️
Astonished to see your stamna and patience that you wait more than 3 hrs and at last got success

After watching few random videos, today I have subscribed to your channel.
German Highways are famously known as the German Autobahn, these highways are famous for high speed, average speed is 125 Km/h(130 Km/h recommended by the Fedral Government of Germany) and highest speed is as the wish of the drivers, drivers can drive as much fast as they want in the de-restricted zones of the Autobahns.
You are very cute and intelligent Indian. I proud on you. I like your videos. You are qualified and sincere person. Wish you all the best. God always help you.

I like your behaviour and courtesy - giving very good impression of Indians - unlike many other KZreadrs who do not show any class or courtesy … keep it up bro 👍
It's a joy to watch the vlog. Thanks for posting
It's not a video it's rather an experience you shared and you've been sharing for years. Infact, you're leaving footsteps for the ones who want to travel or (say hitchhike ) which is a remarkable thing. Thank you very much Varun bhaiya 🙏 and I wish to see you someday ◕‿◕.
I hv been to Germany and its a lovely country, very systematic, pretty safe to travel alone. Loved this video and the background music is so soothing. Waiting for next episode. ❤ Varun try to visit south germany - Black Forest
Try Again. Best wishes for Hitchhiking in Germany.
I don't think it is common to hitchhike here in Germany or most of the EU. In my 5 years of living here, I have never seen a hitchhiker. Probably because trains and public transportation is quite inexpensive and well connected. But a nice experiment though. 'A' for effort.
Glad to be a part of your journey. Keep on!!
What separates Varun from other Travel Vloggers is his aura of calmness even in tough situations and making a feel good video of the experience, quite novel approach i must say. The OG travel KZreadr from India would somehow crack this as well in due course with the help of inputs from other fellow brethren residents (read Dr. Siddharth Chaudhary's wonderful comment).
Sad to see that even on the biggest holiday of Easter there's no help.
Hi Varun, Love your videos. I live in Germany since the past 5 years. I think a reason why no one stopped in those 1st 3.5 hrs was because of the position where you stood. You were standing opposite to the "autobahn begins " sign - the blue & white highway sign. This road is the inlet to the Autobahn and an opportunity for drivers to speed up to join the autobahn at autobahn speeds - so going from 50km/h to ~ 100Km/h. Thus, it is not allowed for drivers to stop once they see the auttobahn sign. If I put myself in the drivers POV, I would have been glad to stop and help but would be nervous to stop on that particular place as it is the inlet street. Just wanted to give an alternative perspective. I would suggest asking for lift a bit further away, maybe on regular city streets that lead to the autobahn. I personally have found Germans to be very helpful people. I hope you have better luck next time. If you ever visit NRW, would be happy to show you around the region :)
Bahn sounds like वाहन
Hi Varun! Its good to see you after a long time...I like your videos..do you know that in videos ka kya special banata hai ..aapki politeness n aapka humble nature. Stay healthy n safe and best of luck for your future.😊😊

So refreshing to see you again with ur vlog. Nice video.
Your video make me amazed feel like i am traveling... Great effort love the video.
To Hitchhike and roam was your choice of travel and it disappointed you this time but you know what was our choice it was ti see you travel no matter how with your gears and camera and smile and this jacket and these pants ,who have been to many such adventures and speaking the truth you dint disappointed like humesha. No matter you were not able to reach anywhere,the distance we travelled together,be it bus or railway,aapke saath lambe safar toh acche hote hi hai,short trips are full of information and adventure too. This was fun too. Agli baar behter tayari,behter planning and choice of days but same smile, same jazba and same hum aur aap. Next travel awaited.
Hi Varun Sir, pehle toh aapko namaste aur badhaiyan aapka channel bht achha kr rhi hai. Aap se bht kuch sikhne ko milta hai, aapka jo humour hai , baat krne ki tarike aur sab se zyada aapka gratitude (hindi pata nhi tha😅). Asha kr rha hu aapka Safar aise hi bht achhe se guzre aur humko aise hi videos dekhne ko milte rhe❤
it is good to see u back again....al the best !!
All best bro whenever u feel like giving up always remember ur inspiring millions not to give up 😊
I think the pants that you're wearing, military style come off as slightly threatening. So maybe that could also be a reason people are wary of giving you a lift.
Definitely you will get a lift in germany. Have patience & keep do hitchhiking because you are a Mountain Trekker. Love you Brother.
Back in the old days, such a breathtaking experience, Hitchhiking 😊
Since you decided to come to Germany thinking you will be able to travel which is true due to visa flexibility but wait for winters, you will be depressed like anything. There is no human touch here. European countries are way more depressing than other countries because people don't speak English. You will understand how important is a common language to communicate. I wish you all the best for winters and depression.
In Germany I found people very cold compared to other European countries.. you can’t ask again otherwise most of them get angry too- bus drivers, small shops etc Heard a lot about sarcasm in Munich too whereas neighbouring countries like Denmark, Poland, Netherlands are totally different with welcoming ppl
Welcome back. True travel video from you, Varun. Old memories cherished
the quality of these videos are insane
Tum ko khush dekh kar ,,, Main Bahut Khush, hua Love you Bhai😀😀😀❣ Russian Vlog wali Feeling aa rahi hai
Hey Varun, sorry for your bad experience but i think you definitely shouldn't give up, Christmas and Easter are periods where people dont really like to go out too much so honestly im not really surprised. If you want a really good season to hitchhike, imo try doing it during the last week of july~ first week of august 💪
Varun, amazing to see you doing premiers again and so nice to see you doing videos again, me and my wife are big fans. All the best. We were in Germany last year in July and Germany is awesome. We did 4 cities and let me tell you one thing, you will find so many amazing people, this is just a beginning. I Would love to travel to Germany again.
Wow..What a beautiful video with perfect background music 😍 I love Varun sir ❣️ One feedback is.....If you write Poster in German instead of English than you will be more successful as a Hitchhiker. German people will help you more if you speak there local language. So next time try to write Poster in German language 😊 Germans are conservative towards there language.
Bahut dino baad aapka Vlog dekha Varun bhai mza aagya 😍😍👌
Varunji ek gana yaad aaya RUK JANA NAHI TU KAHI HAR KE KANTO PE CHAL KE MILENGE SAYE BAHAR KE You are great Very few people are like you Himmat hai aapme
Just passed my driving exam and in my opinion I believe due to driving regulations most of the time it is very for a car driver to suddenly stop the car to take a passenger in (maybe I am wrong)
At the end, thoda emotional feel hua. Salute to your dedication, if there was someone else most probably they might have givenup on the first day itself.
I'm very happy cu again after so many time came back in your old version. 😍😊🎊💐, best wishes sir. 🤗

I'm watching your videos since Covid time when we all got stuck at home. Since then you always inspire me not to become a traveller but to learn not to stop until you reach your goal. To become a common man. You are a star, have millions of viewers like me around the world, still so humble! Keep going sir. 🎉
