Sitting around in the hostel, we tried to figure out what else to do in Mongolia. It’s not like there is a shortage of things to be done, just we never really prepared. We looked around other people’s blogs and found some GPS tracks for Gobi. Perfect, i guess we are going to Gobi Dessert. […]
Mongolia – Orkhon valley
Similarly named to an island we just spent destroying our sense of what is the right way to drive a car and mostly our livers for a week, if you haven’t read the Olkhon Island adventures with Korandovod…please do so now. It’s really for your entertainment…not mine. About a day drive from the city…its too […]
Mongolia – Ulaanbaatar
For some reason, I felt nervous. Even though this is our 20th country…and that probably means at least 19 border crossings, so there is nothing to be afraid, right? Maybe its genetic imprinting, from the time i was a little boy I’ve thought of borders as a horrendous experience and have been pleasantly surprised by […]

Russia – Good-bye For Now
On the road the adventure never stops. The plan was to find a hostel, some wi-fi and shower…yes in that order.

I guess you might be tired of hearing about how awesome we are and how much fun we are having during this trip. So this story is a bit different, we will look at how awesome the Russian people are and how much fun we are having with them. No…this is not biased in any […]
Russia – The Warm Siberian Welcome
Knowing the language completely changes the dynamic of your travel. During the first part of our journey we purposefully tried to be isolated by not buying any SIM cards. In the beginning our poor understanding of Spanish further isolated us from freely hanging out and meeting the locals. But now we are in Russia…the Motherland…and […]
Russia – OverLanding, OverRaining
I might have hurried up saying our goodbyes in the previous post. I forgot that we still have to go from Seoul to Donghae, where we will be taking a ferry to Russia. The ferry was schedule before we even got the car in Busan, so that was all ready to go. But we have […]
