I Want to Come!
Why don't you just ship it? It's cheaper and easier!
I spent years of my life chasing bullshit that didn't matter. Life is all about the memories and experiences you have along this mad journey we call life and I want to fill mine with as many of those as possible. It's never about what's easiest, it's about what will be richest in all aspects.
The car will just break down!
Maybe. Maybe not. That's part of the excitement isn't it? I could be the most prepared in the world, but at the end of the day you have to just go with the flow and know you'll find any solution to your needs at that time. It'll all work out.
What about the borders?
I'm not planning a route through any borders that should have issues. I believe it should be fine, but again, any challenges we find a way!
There is a war on don't you know!?
Whilst I love an adventure, I'm not an idiot. I have planned a route that will take me not through Ukraine... Russia is a big ass country.
The roads will ruin the car!
I hope I can find solutions to everything and as long as it doesn't rip holes in the chassis, I think a rebuild post trip would make a great build series, so you know... bonus!
Why aren't you going sooner?!
Honestly, I didn't expect to find solutions for these problems and never expected to be capable of doing this trip for YEARS! I chucked the tiktok/ reel up and was overwhelmed with the responses. It's my dream and your comments made me realise I COULD do it. My issue is that I'm in the process of being let go at my corporate job. I'm going all in for adventures in cars. It's daunting but it's a dream i am willing to live and see where it goes. The timing means I have to see out my work period before being able to be free enough to take potentially 4 weeks off to drive such a trip.
