FAQ
What is Freedom Seat?
Freedom Seat is a human powered journey to help spread awareness about human trafficking.
Where are you riding?
Naresh will ride a tandem bicycle from Chennai, India to Hamburg, Germany. The route will be determined as the ride happens. We may have to change course along the way due to weather, support or visas, so we are keeping it flexible.
Can I ride with you?
YES! Please check in to see where Naresh is riding to see if he will be near your city. We will try to post updates on social media (Facebook and Instagram) to let you know where we will be headed next.

What moved you to raise awareness for human trafficking?
During a training trip to Nepal, Naresh was personally approached by a man trying to trafficking young girls. He was appalled and quickly found a way to try and spread awareness for this disturbing practice. Human trafficking is one of the fastest growing global crimes, and it is a multi-billion dollar industry. Naresh hopes to spread awareness through personal interactions with people around the world to share about this global crisis.
