SOPHIE
This is Sophie. She thinks of herself as an 'experienced traveller'...she is experienced in not knowing where she is and not knowing what to do about it. Constantly seeking out adventure and trying to figure out what she likes about it she couldnt turn down this hitchiking opportunity (even though she was living in Italy during this time).
Never having been very good at speaking languages she is always eager to give them a try. Unfortunately she finds it hard to disguise her very British accent.

JAMES
Meet James! He is a laid back easy- going guy with not a care in the world. He has full faith that Sophie’s experience in travelling will get him to his end destination.
With a bag full of comic books and a plastic poundland map of Europe he is well set and ready for the jounrey to begin.

FRANZ
Franz gave Sophie and James a lift from Austria across the border to Slovenia. He is a large Slovenian man who speaks not a word of English and so Sophie has to use her GCSE German to communicate with him.
He may look a bit menacing, with his large cigars and copious amounts of chest hair but he is really rather friendly (or at least they think he was, judging by gestures and facial expressions as neither of the pair can understand him)

ANITA
Anita was the first person to stop and pick up the pair at the beginning of their journey. Happy to help she drove them the length of Germany totalling around 8 hours drive.
