In every episode the couples hitchhike from on city to another: this journey takes them an average of three days. The participants count on the hospitality of the local population to find a sleeping place. Camera crews record their experiences and the encounters with their guest families.
Furthermore the participants face a number of challenges on the road: culturally relevant of adventurous challenges. These tests keep the suspense in the program and give opportunity to introduce regional elements as well as the beautiful surroundings in the program. Every third day the participants check in at a typical location in a bigger town where the host awaits them.
This program shows more that 7000 kilometres of breathtaking landscapes, colorful cultures and local hospitality to the spectators. The personal experiences of the participants offer a beautiful and surprising portrait of the visited areas and its population. The focus of the cameras is on the personal adventures of the competitors, the epic landscapes and the local cultures.
