HOW DID THIS START?

It's almost one year since we returned home after exploring planet Earth for about 11 months. Actually, this story starts back in 2011 when I met my future fiancee @Kamile for the first time. This happened at Vilnius Gediminas Technical University in Vilnius, Lithuania. She was gorgeous. I asked her out for a few times, but she probably thought I was not interesting enough. After a few years, in 2016, I decided to prove her wrong. This was the time when I said "Yes" to her proposal, quit my job, sold my car and started this adventure which back then we called "Journey around the world"...

WHAT DID WE DO FOR 11 MONTHS?

It took us two months to hitchhike from Lithuania to Iran - the most amazing country we have been to so far... After that, we continued moving east where we had all kinds of experiences: Couchsurfing, volunteering, hitchhiking, camping in the most incredible places... The road even took me to Australia, where I lived with a local family with two parents and seven children... We had some physical challenges too. For example, we worked on an organic farm in Nepal, hiked along the "Camino de Santiago" trail in Spain for about 800 kilometers and so on...

PART TWO: INDIA AND PAKISTAN

A friend of mine once asked me "What was the most important thing you learned while traveling?" I told him there were a few. It was quite a challenge to learn to ignore all the negative stereotypes to have no prejudices. However, one of them was more important than the others. We learned to dig deep into our subconsciousness and to understand what we were taught to believe is important in life and what are the things that are truly meaningful for us. We learned to expose and acknowledge our fear of the negative opinion of other people, self-doubts. We healed from trying to fulfill other peoples dreams as they were ours…

Armed with inexhaustible self-confidence we decided to continue doing the thing we love doing the most - learn while traveling or travel while learning. The time has come to prepare for our next journey. This time the main destinations will be India and Pakistan. Who knows how long it is going to take until we feel like it's time to come back home or to move on… Maybe months… Maybe years… Our goals for this journey are learning to take care of our health better, to control our stress, to live in peace with nature and to help people in need. What is more, it would be nice to heal my camera fear…

WHY DO WE NEED YOUR HELP?

We already know that average of 10€ (11USD) per day is more than enough to travel the way we love to travel (Couchsurfing, hitchhiking, volunteering and camping). In countries like Nepal, we managed to do that for much less. @Kamile and I have been saving for this trip for a while now. We even moved from Lithuania to Denmark to do this quicker, so we should be able to save enough by ourselves. However, this time we would like to do much more than we did during our first journey. As I mentioned before, we want to help people in need, to spend as much time as possible in non-touristic places. To do that we could use some extra help.

WHAT WILL YOU GET IN EXCHANGE?

Every penny we will be able to raise is extremely important. In exchange for your kindness, @Kamile and I will give you a proof of where the donations were used. 1SBD might buy you a cup of coffee or a notebook for children in lesser developed areas of India. 5SBD might buy you a ticket to the cinema, or it might help us to visit the most amazing places on Planet Earth so we could continue blogging in vlogging. For a donation of 1SBD or more, your name will be mentioned in our future "India-Pakistan" travel videos and posts.

LET'S KEEP IN TOUCH

Follow me (@InvisusMundi) and my future wife @Kamile for updates. I would like to share a few videos from our last journey. Keep in mind we were filming with the cheapest low-quality action camera for 40 bucks and @Kamile was not nearly as professional editor as she is now. I will also share one of the more recent videos (the last one) so you can just have a taste of what you can expect from our journey to India and Pakistan. Do you have experience traveling to these countries or you live there and would like to share some advice? Leave a comment below. Also, Kamile is always complaining she can not become a queen, because I am not a king. I am not sure if I'll be able to become a king any time soon, but I am sure that it would help her to feel like a queen if you check out her Instagram profile and follow her.
