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
Instagram profile and follow her.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
SCHEDULED START DATE: Sometime after a few months.
@Kamile latest video. Filmed with Canon 700D in May 2018.
COUNTRIES WE HAVE VISITED SO FAR
Iran | Indonesia | Nepal | Georgia | Turkey | Australia | Poland | Slovakia | Hungary | Romania | Bulgaria | Thailand | Malaysia | Singapore | Vietnam | Laos | Spain | France | Netherlands | Germany | Latvia. Currently, we are in Denmark.
Yours,

You are most welcome in our country India. India has lots of World Heritage sites which you can visit. It is a very beautiful country. And we also have a wonder (Taj Mahal) from seven wonders of the world. India has everything from Desert to rainforests from Mountains to Plains. From developed cities to our own village and a very rich culture. Hope you will enjoy every bit of your journey in India and Pakistan.🙏☺️
When we started traveling back in 2016 we didn't include India to our plans. I think now I know why. Probably we had to "grow up" a bit to be ready to explore such a wast and colorful country like India.Hello @Mohak1999. :)
Yea @invisusmundi you are right and you are most welcome in our country. I wish your journey to India will be your most memorable journey.I know that you gonna love every moment you spend in India. 🙏☺️

Thank you so much. I guess we will stay in India for at least six months (maybe one year) as it is huge. Where exactly are you from @Namit?

Lovely photos :) I visited Pakistan and India some years ago and loved them. The people were very nice, the food delicious and the nature amazing. I still have plans to visit India again and discover the other cities and Taj Mahal :)
What whas your favorite place/places? Any tips for us? :)
U must go kashmir & explore there
Great experience my friend.
A lot of important life lessons learned from your project.
Thank you for sharing with us
I will definitely go on such an adventure with my fiancee too, only if i get one lol. You guys had fun, i enjoyed watching. You just wet my appetite for a girlfriend now. Have a nice time @invisusmundi
This is so wonderful for the both of you. We have just begun our travels around the US with a 3 month job in Yellowstone National Park. I can't wait to start traveling the world, which is our goal within 2 years.
Western media always show negative face of Pakistan. But in real Pakistan is a very beautiful country and place of good people. You should visit Kashmir, Gilgit, Seat, these places called Switzerland of Pakistan. 😊
We will do whatever we can to show the real Pakistan to our people and to defeat those false stereotypes. Yes, I've heared a lot about Northern part of Pakistan. It is difficult to express how much we are looking forward to get there. However, I have never heard of Seat. Is it the name of a region or a city? I am sorry for my incomprehension. :)
Appreciated and Thanks for correction, not seat it's SWAT. 😊
I see. :) Thank's for your advice. ;) And where are you from? ;)
Karachi, Pakistan ☺️
Awesome¡ I ve been 5 months traveling around Asia buy still I have to go to India¡ love travel people¡ so nice you are traveling as a couple¡ im traveling alone¡ cheers :)
Hi @Naluua. :) I've just checked out your profile and started following you. Maybe we will meet somewhere someday. :D So what are your future travel plans? ;)
