Ep 11 - Having some Wobbles in Kyrgyzstan

After a pretty shaky start to my time in Kyrgyzstan I was starting to have a few doubts if I would make it to Ulunbataar in time. I had lost quite a few unexpected days over the last few weeks, so was starting to feel the time pressure. I was really torn between just getting to Mongolia and enjoying the journey, making the most of being in these very unique countries.

Hey Even. I know we all have those days where things are not as we wish, but you're really doing great. You have so much support for your journey from all your family, friends and fellow travellers. Keep it up mate. Eddie

At 9.59mins, we all have days like that when we are away for long periods. I think you made the right call, a birthday will be there, but this trip was once in a lifetime. You will remember it forever. Not a lot of wives go traveling with their husband. I am one of very few. I just loved our time on the road. It took me 5 years to get homesick, after 3 years back in nz. I am ready to go again. Keep it up, Evan. You are doing great. I know you hsve finished now as i follow you on IG. Cheers Ro of Traveller's Nest Overland

Thank you for the message! I am slowly convincing her to jump on the back, we hired a motorbike in Thailand for a week and did the mae hong son loop, was a great success, so maybe some touring in the future together. But 5 years on the road is incredible, thats a heck of a trip! Where you off to next?

[@travellersnestoverland]

@@evanhenman we still have the truck it is stored in Brisbane. We go to Australia about 8 times a year. Next trip will be what you have just done but from Brisbane to drive back to Amsterdam in the Netherlands 🇳🇱. We need to work tp save for it, then afterwards we will do the Pam American highway. Cheers Ro

[@nomanonroad]

As a adv rider myself.. I can relate. There will be days where you ask yourself what the hell am i doing.. Keep it up mate. You are tough as they come. 👍🏼👌🏼

[@sadyrberikov1635]

Hi Evan why you didn’t go to Altyn Arashan there is one of beautiful places in the world 🌎

[@evanhenman]

Arhhh i missed that, that would have been a great idea to have gone there, looks amazing, and not far from Karakol. Unfortunately always going to miss things on a long journey, but a great reason to head back to Kyrgyzstan!

[@dreamroads3159]

hello Evan ! great videos... how many days did toke you from Dushanbe to the Charyn canyon?

[@evanhenman]

Thank you for the kind comment. I took 14 days, but I could have done with a few more days in Kyrgyzstan to explore, was some pretty long days of riding. 20 days would have been better if your planning it yourself!

[@TheJoeToh]

How did you animate the route you took?

[@evanhenman]

I used an app called travelboast, free download on your phone. You have to pay a little if you want some custom icons, like the motorbike 😁

[@TheJoeToh]

Thanks for info!
