Tomoya Midori Hitchhiking from Cairns to Melbourne over the course of one month

After taking on the challenge of traveling all around Japan in a tuk-tuk, Tomoya Midori has hit pause due to the rainy season and shifted gears — all the way to Australia! Now, he's on a brand-new journey: hitchhiking from Cairns to Melbourne over the course of one month. Embracing the open road, local connections, and unpredictable twists of travel, Tomoya is experiencing Australia in the rawest and most adventurous way possible.
