A British model has traveled 10,000 miles around the world to Australia for free, boasting trips on planes, tractors, cars, ferries, buses, tuk tuks, and even an alpaca for charity.
38-year-old Elaine Harris went to Sydney thanks to friendly strangers who helped her out of the UK.
The mother of two, who was a finalist in the British top model, started her epic giveaway adventure on a tractor and left her home in Forfar, Scotland on July 21.
She then traveled from England to France, Belgium, Germany, Czechoslovakia, Slovakia, Hungary, Israel, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Malaysia before coming to Australia without cash.

The discoverer had to survive on one meal a day and protein bars and relied on the generosity of others to guide them through the arduous journey.
She had to ration water and the load on her phone while bravely hitchhiking on the back of trucks.
Elaine said the hardest part was sleep deprivation and a 25-hour bus ride from Bangkok to Vietnam via Siem Reap, Cambodia.
Elaine said, “When I started the challenge, I had no idea what to wear. How do you pack for a place you don't know?
"I took ten protein bars and ate them all. I am so grateful to them that I had a meal a day and a protein bar. I had to ration everything.
I rationed water, food, and even the load on my cell phone. If people gave you food or anything, you would just appreciate it.
"I wouldn't ask them to give me things, but once I talked to people they would help, but it was all very real.
“Some people would give me money to eat. Hitching to the trucks was terrifying.
“My heart was in my mouth, but I honestly haven't found anything negative within the ten days.


Elaine took a 25-hour bus trip from Bangkok to Vietnam via Siem Reap, Cambodia, where she was taken with a tuk tuk (picture).

On the third day the whole challenge went up in the air and everyone got behind me on social media.
“It was so cool to start with a tractor in Scotland and land in Australia. The whole trip was surreal. & # 39;
She rode a motorcycle from Dundee to Glasgow before driving a trucker to Dover, where she took the ferry to Calais.
Elaine arrived in Brussels on Tuesday, where she hitchhiked to Lohr Am Main in Bavaria.
From there, she took a 25-hour bus ride from Bangkok to Vietnam via Siem Reap, Cambodia, where she was taken with a tuk tuk.
She then flew from Kuala Lumpur to Syndey. Elaine said: “The lack of sleep and food was probably the most difficult thing for me.
“I relied on people to feed me because I was on the go all the time. I think I went through seven days without a proper bed to sleep on. & # 39;

Elaine took on the challenge of collecting donations for a clinic that provides children with dental and eye care on the island of Sal in Cape Verde, off the coast of West Africa.
She is the founder of the Cape Verde Dental and Optics Clinic, which carried out a free treatment worth almost 40,000 euros in the first year of operation last year.
She said she is collecting donations to "help as many children as possible" and intends to do three times as much work as in the clinic last year and work on site in slums.
She said, “I've been thinking about doing something when you run the risk that people are good.
“I felt that most of the stories that were reported were about the dangers in the world, so I thought of something that shows the good in people.
"My children are really proud of me and my eldest worked with me in the clinic, so she is very aware of our work.
& # 39; She is full of empathy. She is proud of me. I'm just thinking about how many other children I can help. At the moment it is not really lost that I have achieved this.
"It's about the goodwill of people. Without these people who helped me on the way, I would not have been able to get where I came from.
“This trip didn't change my perception of people, but it certainly restored my trust in people. It’s just incredible. & # 39;
