Hi!
I am glad to see you found my website. As everything about my walk through Europe is still in preparation, so is this website. I have decided I am going to walk to Istanbul from Nijmegen. I have also decided that I will be leaving early July, right after my 25th birthday. There is still a lot to be done. The coming weeks I will be gathering information about the exact route I will be walking.
Based on that I will make a schedule so I can start making arrangements for the overnight stays. I can use some help with that, since I am quite new to for example Couchsurfing. Feel free to contact me. But more on that the coming weeks.
I am also looking for someone who can do a little translation for me. I do want to tell people along the way about the purpose of my travel. My German is a bit rusty. I am sure I’m fine explaining my walk along the way. But I also want to be able to leave some press releases along the way for local newspapers. Want to help me out? Contact me!
I will have more requests in the coming weeks but for now the last one is a call to share my adventure with as many people as you possibly can. I will need a lot of support and encouragement, and an international network along my route. I am hoping to stay with as many religious organizations as possible, so any help in this direction would be really appreciated.
Don’t forget to leave a message below!

Dag Thomas,
Hoorde van Martien (oude studiegenoot) over je voettocht.
Vroeg me af of je op de hoogte bent van Sedat Cakir’s SULTANSTRAIL van Wenen naar Istanbul. Sedat is een Turkse Nederlander of andersom en ik ken hem als een zeer prettig persoon. Ik ontmoette hem in Haarlem en in Servie waar hij een route van de grens tot Belgrado uitzette. Een route die hij met hulp van allerlei vrijwilligers verder aan het uitzetten is door Europa maar nog lang niet af. Wellicht ken je het en anders is het misschien aardig om er kennis van te nemen. Sedat heeft in 2009 ook de tocht van NL naar Istanbul gemaakt. Jij alvast een goede reis gewenst.
Hartelijke groet, John van den Berg.
