From Timisoara to Istanbul to Budapest

Photos documenting every single recyclable except for one rice package I missed out on, we - two people trying to travel as sustainable as possible - had to leave to the regular trash on our trip from Timisoara to Budapest via Istanbul.

We left the beach, we walked across the border to Bulgaria. Some french tourists gave us a lift, some bulgarian oldtimers and a car full of youngsters that looked like it was their first time out by themselves. In the evening we could pitch the tent...

We left the beach, we walked across the border to Bulgaria. Some french tourists gave us a lift, some bulgarian oldtimers and a car full of youngsters that looked like it was their first time out by themselves. In the evening we could pitch the tent near Burgas - that was the trash we gather between till we left.
