澳大利亞揹包客用啤酒換食宿 旅行8000公里

An Australian backpacker was able to hitchhike and couch surf all the way from Edinburgh to Delhi with only beer as his currency.

一位澳大利亞揹包客僅用啤酒當"貨幣"，從愛丁堡出發，一路搭便車、借宿，成功抵達德里。

During Manny Marshall's eight-week, 5,000-mile adventure he shared 120 cans of craft beer with the people he met on the road in exchange for a free ride and accommodation.

在這段歷時8周、跨越5000英里的旅途中，曼尼·馬歇爾向沿途遇到的人們分享了120罐精釀啤酒，換取免費的搭車與住宿。

It was a challenge backed by the Innis And Gunn to recreate the delivery journey of Indian Pale Ales during the 18th and 19th century, from Scotland to India.

這是愛丁堡的Innis And Gunn啤酒公司贊助的一項挑戰，該挑戰旨在重走18、19世紀印度淡啤酒從蘇格蘭運往印度的路線。

Marshall hitchhiked through France, Austria, Germany, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria and Greece before he was flown to India by Innis And Gunn to complete the final 900-mile leg of the trip.

馬歇爾搭便車穿過法國、奧地利、德國、捷克、保加利亞和希臘後，Innis And Gunn公司將他空運至印度，完成最後900英里的旅程。

"I was moved by the kindness of the people I met along the way. Language may have been a barrier at times, but this trip showed me that beer is truly a universal tongue," Marshall said.

馬歇爾說："我爲旅途中遇到的人們的善心所感動。有時候語言或許是一種障礙，不過這次旅行告訴我，啤酒的確是一種世界通用語言。"
