The Caravan Hitchhiking Project is a European art project, connecting people, cultures and worlds. In 2010 Tjerk Ridder and Peter Bijl hitchhiked from Utrecht, Netherlands to Istanbul, Turkey – with a caravan, but without a car – to show that you need others to keep you going. The Caravan Hitchhiking Project thus became a unique research into the hospitality, benevolence and possibilities of Europe.>
