About this blog

Starting with the Trans-Siberian train from Moscow to Beijing, I will explore the far east, through China, Thailand, then Nepal, a trek in Tibet, India, then back round for Indochina!

That was written before the trip started. Now it's over i would say that while this trip started off as a geogrphical exploration, it became much more. Alove story and spirituality, what more could u ask for?!
