Turns out that Mongolia is just a lot of driving. Ha, I wish it were that simple. Yes it was a lot of driving but it wasn’t easy. The road was gone so we often had to rely on Scott’s off roading skills and Eddy’s knack for keeping his shit together when it got rough. […]
Ah the bravado I’ve had on this trip is at last starting to die down. Russia and Mongolia, goodness me. The last few days have been wild. After we left Aktau we spent a lot of time doing some boring old driving. It’s endless. Just the road (if you can even call it a road), […]
Hey there everyone! Good News is, we’re not dead! We just haven’t had internet much so this blog is a bit behind, something I hope to remedy. So lets catch you all up with what’s been happening lately. After we left Armenia we headed back into Georgia, took a bit longer to get out of […]
Goodness it has been a while since we’ve posted, or at least it feels that way. Days are starting to just blur into “sleep, wake up, drive, sleep” And it’s been ruthlessly hot. Other teams in the Mongol Rally have made it far, some even already reaching Kazakhstan. After a lovely day spent in Istanbul, […]
Well the time has come to say goodbye to our convoy, after another day of traveling together and camping out at the shores of the Black Sea, we woke up had one last breakfast with Hop, Skip and Jump Co, then bid each other farewell. They’re heading for Istanbul as well so there is a […]
I hope you all enjoyed the pictures, as always there are more to see on our Facebook page: Nerdventurists. Also to see some more, look at Travelstache and Wanderlicious, those are the pages of my fellow teammates Scott and Maartje. I hope the pictures did justice for what we saw, to be frank it was […]
It’s very rare that I find myself unable to put something into words, however, after what I saw yesterday, I realise that I can’t properly translate yesterday’s adventure into words, so I thought it best to leave you all with some photos. Today we’re going to get back on the road with our convoy and […]
Budapest, what small amount of time I spent there, was pretty damn awesome. It’s a beautiful city, one I can’t wait to see more of at a later time when it isn’t so hot and I have far more time. The thing about our traveling, and the way that we’re going about it is, we […]
And we are back again, this time updating you from Vienna, Austria (at least that’s were I started, I’m now in Budapest, how’s that for travelling?) . I left you all off in Germany last time, where at the grand ole hour of 4am we rolled into Mannheim and met Scott’s friend Julian. I would […]
Promise a fuller update will be coming soon, but for now know that we’re not dead and currently in Vienna. We’re hoping to hit up at least Budapest and Belgrade tomorrow! For more frequent updates follow us on twitter, Facebook, and instagram. Just search for Nerdventurists!
