The Backseat Buddies

Team Picture

Two weeks through Europe by thumb. Why?

Because we`re excited to experience other countries and cultures, making new friends along the way; and at the same time doing our small part in making the world a better place by raising awareness, funding for the work of VcA and Pro Asyl. What a great combination, don`t you agree?

Why should a lift take us along?

Rock, Raeggae, Ska, Pop, Folk? No matter which type of music you prefer. We will bring along an awesome mixtape to share the finest German music with everyone giving us a ride; including small local bands and of course masterpieces of German Culture like Helene Fischer`s "Atemlos". We will therefore enhance a deeper intercultural understanding in Schäuble being not the worst Germany has to offer.

Our best Autostop-experience so far

The unexpected hospitality of the drivers and the stories they share with us.

Our goal for the race

Reach the destination. Participation is everything!

For a Donation we would...

- Put your favorite song on the mixtape. - Bring along an extraordinary souvenir. (We know, you`re still lacking an Albanian stone in your super impressive stone collection.) - (Maybe) perform any other special task you`re giving us. Do not hesitate to ask us. But - honestly speaking - donating is about giving something truely from your heart without expecting anything in return. And that`s what`s making it so precious. Sharing is caring!

Hey, we are Jana from Hamburg and Julian from Trier. We didn`t know each other before the race. Actually, we still haven`t met in person yet. But we apparently have some core values in common and share the goal of raising money and awareness for good causes. This is why we are sure to make a great team and soon be Backseat Buddies!
