Planning a trip? Maybe one that’s a little bit out-of-the-ordinary? The guides here are full of important details and practical information, all based on our first-hand experience traveling in countries where things don’t always work out the way you expect.
This post is the itinerary for our nine day tour in Turkmenistan. It’s about how we arrived at this plan, what we loved about it, and things we’d change in retrospect. Feel free to copy our itinerary directly, or borrow a few of the days you like best and use it as a base to kick off your own plans.
Here’s what you need to know to travel by road between India and Nepal, across the Sonauli (Sunauli) border.
Here’s what you need to know to travel by land from Pakistan to India and vice versa.
Here’s what you need to know to travel by road from India to Bangladesh and vice versa.
This is a guide to inspire and help you plan an independent trip in Central Asia. It follows our route with information about border crossings, trains, and things to do along the way.
I highly recommend the overnight ferry, if you’re travelling from South Korea to Japan (or vice-versa). A smooth trip, a comfortable night’s sleep, and a bathhouse onboard. And if you aren’t that tired, there’s always karaoke.
Here’s what you can expect when you travel by road – on public transport, no less – between Cameroon and Gabon. Hint: bring a LOT of passport copies, and watch out for the ‘Man with glasses’.
This post is a report about our experience crossing from Botswana to Zambia at the Kazungula border. The border crossing in question is very straightforward, so this is a quick rundown on how to get there and what to expect.
Coming from Angola there are a few crossing points to Namibia. According to our friend Maputo you can cross wherever you’d like, but he’s about ten years old and honestly, he’s way more relaxed about that type of thing than we are. I’d stick to legitimate crossings.
After being all but closed to outsiders for many years, and implementing a highly restrictive visa policy after that, Angola is now visa-free for many nationalities. Crossing the border from DRC is easy. Delightful, even, in comparison with the bus trip from Kinshasa to Matadi that we undertook first.
