Our road trip from London to Mongolia continues on the latest episode of my podcast, as we visit the largest mosque in Iran and are forced to ask difficult questions about where to draw the line between respecting a foreign culture and acknowledging fundamental disagreements. Also, our car problems come back to haunt us when we overheat in the middle of the desert and our radiator tank melts from the heat!

Hey everyone! Scott here. Just wanted to give you a heads up that now that the Mongol Rally is over, I've decided to switch this account over from Team Donundestan (teamdonundestan.com) to Far From Home, which is the name of my podcast where I'll continue rolling out episodes documenting the crazy road trip my brother and I took last summer from London to Mongolia in a ridiculously tiny car! If you haven't already heard it, you should subscribe wherever you get your podcasts or go to farfromhomepodcast.org. Episode 8 about our journey through Turkey is coming out tomorrow. Please check it out and help spread the word! #trypod #mongolrally #roadtrip
It's been 5 months since we left our beloved Nissan Micra with a bunch of other beaten up rally cars in a field in Siberia. She safely carried us through 18 countries and across 11,000 miles, and despite suffering the indignity of numerous visits to mechanics and a tire blowout, a broken drive shaft, a couple of cracked axles, a busted radiator, and a blown head gasket, she always managed to soldier on. Over time -- we grew terribly attached to her. After we said goodbye, she took a long train journey back to Estonia, and I've just received word that she's finally met her demise. Death by hydraulic excavator sounds like an awful way to go, and it makes us kind of sad, but she'll always hold a special place in our hearts! #mongolrally
Listen to episode 7 of my podcast, where the roads get rougher, the journey becomes more interesting, and we experience our first car trouble as we make our way across Eastern Europe. Go to farfromhomepodcast.org or subscribe to Far From Home wherever you get your podcasts. #mongolrally #roadtrip
Check out episode 6 of my podcast to follow along as my brother and I leave southern England and set out across Europe, overcoming some of our fears and throwing our plans out the window on the first leg of our journey.
