Today I sent a text to my riding buddy for this Silk Road trip that said “The emergency medicine stuff and comms we have to prepare for”. Oh Boy…Watching the first handful of episodes (the preparation episodes) made one thing clear – when shit goes wrong, you have to handle it yourself. It’s one thing to prepare for a different culture or learn how to bribe your way out of a situation – it’s another thing to have your mates life in your hands and make sure they come out of it safe and in one pie
I’ve never been one to lay on a beach and sip a mai tai for a vacation, so I’ve decided that its time for an epic trip once again and this time, it’s the silk road. I’m making plans for a trip in late spring to start in Istanbul and end the trip in Tehran. Yes, I know – doesn’t sound safe, but it’s only through four countries and none of them are officially at war with anyone. Seriously, look it up: Turkey – Georgia – Azerbijan – IranThat makes it better – right? 😏 Share this: Click to share o
