Many miles from home
Once you join YWAM you will experience this a lot. Travel. Starts with leaving home and joining your first school of team with YWAM. Than there is a lot of mission work to follow and than you will need to make many distances by car, bus, train, plane, etcetera.
It even gets worse when you start to really become a YWAMer. Of course it is a lot of fun in the beginning, but than later it can become a drag. Again at an airport! Frustration at missing a train or your YWAM car broke down in the middle of nowhere!
Alternatives
So here is the page where you can find traveling tips for YWAM. Anyone can share their own tips here. I just have a few and probably will get some more when I travel again.
- Arranged Hitchhiking
In Germany I discovered traveling with Mitfahrt. Mitfahrt is a website on which you can find people who are travelling from one place to another and who have a freeseat to offer for anyone who wants to join. You can search on these websites by looking at your destination and the place where you want to start from. Like I traveled from Paris to Freiburg and later I went from Freiburg to Holland.
Okay this is not the cheapest way of hitchhiking. Because that's zero in costs, but it is a lot cheaper than travelling by train. It is also a lot more fun! The people you travel with do expect your company, so they are very open to conversations. Which is great for every YWAMer, easy talks about the gospel!
