Dude, that's exactly how i like to travel. My suggestion is to stop for lunch in a random village and ask for whatever is going on tonight. Having a hiking destination in mind can help psychologically lol
Hehe glad to read, yeah of course once on the road things are flexible, I also tend to go with the flow and take locals' advice, simply trying to get a few ideas in for a general direction/region and add a few fun potential pin-drops on the map :)
