In the second half of the story of hitchhiking to India, Tom Thumb takes us through looking for Sufis in Kurdish Iran, driving through police roadblocks in Pakistan, eating melons on the top of trucks in the mountain, being threatened by a Sikh warrior with a sword in India and bouncing along pot-holed roads down to Goa.
The full journey can be read about in his book: Hand to Mouth to India
If you have a great story to tell and would like to feature it on the Road Junky podcast feel free to be in touch to tom@tomthumb.org
Or just come and share it around the fire in the Sahara Desert at one of the Road Junky Retreats that take place each winter in Morocco.
