Ludovic Hubler

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ludovic Hubler is a French hitchhiker, most famous for his 5 year long tour of the world.[1][2]

One of three sons of Mr. and Mrs. Jacques Hubler, Hubler was born in Bar-le-Duc, France on 11 September 1977. He started hitchhiking adventures in college where he hitchhiked 40,000 km in Europe, but his[3] greatest contribution to hitchhiking includes his 2003-2008 tour of the world by hitchhiking during which he traveled over 170,000 km through 59 countries on 1,300 different vehicles - all this while spending nothing on transport (apart from urban transport and two-way trips with a return to starting point) and an estimated daily budget of US$10.[4]
