So far I've told you about the massive amount of preparation this trip required, from planning our route to securing visas, getting vaccinations to buying a car and learning to drive stick. On my latest podcast, I pick up where I left off, on the day last summer when we finally embarked on our journey!
For a good cause
As my brother and I have spent the past several months driving 11,000 miles across Europe and Asia, those of you following us on Facebook and Instagram have seen what a fun and crazy adventure it's been. But while we've been going to all these places, meeting interesting people, and having incredible experiences along the way that we'll likely remember for the rest of our lives, we've also been trying to make a difference, raising money for several great charities whose work we support.
Final preparations before the big day
What will we eat?
What kind of car do you drive to Mongolia?
I delve into one other task that's been keeping us busy over the past few weeks. It's one of the most important planning decisions we've had to make, and it's a common question our friends and family have asked us when we told them that we were planning an 11,000 mile road trip: Deciding what kind of car to buy!
Announcing the launch of my podcast!
Over the past nine months, while my brother and I have been busy getting our vaccinations and shuffling between foreign embassies and consulates to apply for visas for our trip, I've been recording many of our conversations with friends and family, and kept the tape rolling as we've figured out our route and searched the London classified ads for a suitable car to drive to Mongolia.
