I guess if he had known E-o, he could have used Pasporta Servo. Whether that would accomplish his aim, however, I don't know.

I understand that he was trying to limit material things that he brought with him, but I would think he should have brought at least a pocket dictionary for each country he planned to pass through, plus perhaps a pre-prepared statement of his purpose, written in the languages of the countries he planned to pass through.

he should have at least learned the words "no money", "food", "please", "thank you" and ofcourse "bathroom" in a few languages of the countries he planned to travel through.
i would like to add though, i think this would have been a very interesting experiment if it had succeeded.
