Russia – Moscow – Winter Is Coming
Our stay in Moscow is getting unexpectedly longer and longer, there are reasons for it, but I am not at liberty to discusses them at the moment. Lets just say that some interesting things are up ahead and those of you who know us already will not be surprised by the announcement. Man, really […]
Russia – Nizhniy Novgorod, Vladimir and Kazan (trip with Grandma)
I might have overdone it with the driving in a single day from Miass to Kazan. The distance wise it is about 470-500 miles, basically something that i do once in a while when driving to see my parents in San Jose. Back in California this drive usually takes me 7 hours 30 minutes […]
Russia – Miass
We learned a trick to passing the border with minimal hassle. During a usual border process the passengers go through the immigration and then wait in a separate area while the customs officials inspect the car. This is what we do now, Hyein just follows me back to the car and sticks around. The officers […]
Russia – Back to the Motherland
And boom just like that we are back in the Motherland although the landscape hasn’t changed much from Mongolia, the towns already look a little bit more organized and well supplied. After finding a place to park our Hodori for the night, we rushed to the store to get some fresh veggies. At the border […]
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.

Russia – The Baikal Olympics 2016 – Video
We tried to describe with our words what happened in the past week and it feels like there needs to be a video as well.
Russia – The Baikal Olympics 2016 – Episode 1
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 […]
