Could you hitchhike across Europe for a week without any money?

Do you like adventure? Is the monotonous cycle of library, lectures and yet another piece of coursework boring you? If you’re sat in the library twiddling your thumbs right now thinking YES, then you need to apply for Red Bull Can You Make It?

Red Bull Can You Make It? is the ultimate test for any student who loves a challenge. Students, in teams of three, have just one week to travel to Berlin from a European city, only using cans of Red Bull as currency.

Yep – that means no cash, debit cards, emergency credit cards or calling mum and dad begging for a bank transfer. Just Red Bull.

And sorry to break it to you early on, but you’re not allowed to use your phone either.

Each team will be given 24 cans of Red Bull, which will be used for all travel, food, accommodation and anything else you might need. If you’re known for your natural charm and bartering skills – this one is for you.

Think you could hitchhike across Europe with just 24 cans of Red Bull as currency? Apply for Red Bull Can You Make It? now

Teams will start in either Barcelona, Amsterdam, Budapest, Milan or Copenhagen. The ultimate win is to get to Berlin, but teams can earn points along the way by completing checkpoint challenges, posting lots on Instagram and getting those sweet likes up, and completing adventure list challenges. But to be honest, it’s not about who can get to Berlin fastest – it’s all about having a banging time hitchhiking with your pals.

Teams will only be able to use Red Bull as currency, and will be disqualified if any other currency is used. You’ll also be disqualified if you use your own phone or borrow someone else’s, and if for some reason you have air miles you definitely can’t use them either, cheater.

In 2018, 600 students from 56 countries took part in Red Bull Can You Make It?
