Final Thoughts

Would I create this trip again? Hell yes! I’ve fifty-fifty been considering doing the whole trip inwards the contrary administration from eastward to west. Starting inwards Vladivostok I’d dear to explore the Kamchatka part inwards Far Nth. Eastern Russia, 1 of the worlds terminal untouched wildernesses. Then perchance pass a fighting of fourth dimension inwards Mongolia earlier having the trip coincide alongside the World Nomad Games inwards Kyrgyz Republic inwards 2018.

If I was to officially participate inwards the rally in 1 trial again I would give myself to a greater extent than time, say half dozen to vii weeks to acquire in that place as well as at to the lowest degree ii to acquire back. I would receive got to receive got a dissimilar road though every bit I receive got a dominion to endeavor to acquire somewhere dissimilar every year. I’d similar to drive through Islamic Republic of Iran – Australians tin transportation away live on issued a thirty twenty-four hr menstruation visa on arrival – Uzbekistan as well as Turkmenistan as well as missy the whole Caspian Sea ferry crossing debacle.

Would I create anything else differently? Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 mechanically audio 4WD van would live on nice, perchance 1 of those UAZ vans that the military machine usage as well as that y'all run across all over the old Soviet states, as well as then that I could pass less fourth dimension inwards the mechanics store as well as to a greater extent than fourth dimension inwards the bar alongside the locals. And a van alongside a bed within would salve worrying close the whole ‘let’s promise farmer Vladimir doesn’t wake us upwards alongside his shotgun’ scenario.

But yesteryear camping ground most of the agency nosotros non solely saved a lot of money but had about of our to a greater extent than memorable experiences. In the truthful spirit of the rally nosotros took a machine that nosotros knew would intermission downward as well as forcefulness us to interact alongside the locals. And inwards plough give us endless stories to bore our grandkids with.

Essentially though, the aim was to try and inwards doing as well as then larn a fighting to a greater extent than close the world, close each other as well as close ourselves.

The darkest caves conceal the most valuable treasures.

What never ceased to amaze me was the willingness of people to help us or to only apparently brand us experience welcome when they knew nosotros were a invitee inwards their country. No affair where y'all go, universal principles apply. People the public over really oftentimes desire to portion the things that brand us all happy, similar proficient food, family, friendships as well as laughter. Kindness is the norm, non the exception as well as a grin or a friendly gesture is oftentimes returned inwards spades.

I started out on this trip alongside my fair portion of trepidation as well as concern. Much of it based inwards ignorance as well as negative or inaccurate portrayals perpetuated yesteryear the mainstream media. The same majority media that tells us that the path to happiness is through the accumulation of textile possessions. Well I sold mine to acquire on this crazy endangerment as well as I don’t regret it for 1 second.

In fact all I’ve got are these words as well as a lifetime of memories that volition never depreciate as well as I’m cool alongside that because I receive got an inner contentment as well as feel of pride inwards how I stepped out into this playground nosotros telephone phone planet public as well as discovered a few truths that I could solely larn yesteryear immersing myself into the unknown.
