About road_trip:

Recently completed my degree in Electronic engineering at Manchester uni, whoa! I've had the best 4 years of my life here. I've met some amazing people, and have got friends for life.

After 19 years of education I realised I wasn't prepared for a 9-5 job in the real world, thus I decided to travel. I've been to Thailand twice, though not the most difficult country to traverse with a rucksack, it definately sucked me into the travelling ways....

I'm off travelling the world, London to New York, the long way round, through 13 countries covering over 30000 miles!

Well I finally made it through Russia without any problems; I didn't get scammed at the border which was quite a relief, it was actually pretty easy. The only problem about the border crossing was the wait, almost 10 hours! The Russians are so inefficient in processing the passports, surely it cant be that difficult!! Anyways, I made it through, a straight forward affair, and quite a cool journey. I was in a compartment with a Swiss lady and her two daughters, no Russians on this train! It was weird to see how quickly the scenery changes, from lush forest
