About this blog

After 2 years of planning, researching, and studying Marco Polo's Northern trading route......it's finally happening! You folks can keep track of my trip, and i shall do my best to upload pictures and entries to keep y'all entertained;-) Before i start the Silk Road, i'm making a quick stop in Hong Kong (that's not part of the route, just in case you're wondering).
