Dear all,
here we are, merely two and a half week ahead. Time is surely speeding up, and with all the remaining planning ahead we have rarely a minute to breathe. Not that we are complaining though :D. Just stating a mere fact.
The trip we are about to take will last over five weeks and cover half of the world. This journey trhough Russia, Mongolia, China and Japan was a long awaited trip for us, and now that it's just around the corner I still cannot believe it. We will start our journey from Croatia (where we live), fly to Moscow and then take the transmongolian train all the way down to China. Fly across the chinese sea to Japan, zig-zag across its' many islands and then fly back home.
We've been planning and preparing for it for over a year now. Searching over the internet, reading travel books, talking to those who were already there and preparing financially. Trust me it wasn't an easy task.But it was worth it every minute and penny.
We are a couple, traveling alone with just backpacks and a rather ambitious plan ahead - over 33 cities/places in 38 days and nearly 15.000km. When you start to think of such a journey, your first challenge is the journeys flexibility. This one...not so much. So, your most crucial part: accurate and up to date information. As you probably already know, the Internet is full of information, but to sort out the most accurate one...it's a completely different story.
So here we are, not only to share our experience with friends and family, but also to share all the knowledge and useful info one needs to prepare for such a trip!
Hope you'll enjoy it!
Cheers
N&M
