Hi everyone. I'm half American have Moroccan. I'm planning a trip for 2009 starting in Agadir, Morocco, to Europe, Central Asia (via Ukraine),through Russia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia then China, then Southeast asia, and Australia from Indonisia. After Australia I want to ship the car to South America and go straight up to Alaska. From Alaska I want to drive back to the US east coast and ship the car to South Africa and drive back up to Morocco.
I'm going to do it by myself in a new 2.4l turbo diesel hard top defender 90 that I'm buying in few months. I know that most people recommend the defender 110 for the room but i prefer the 90. The reason I want to take a new defender is i do not want to have lots of mechanical problems on the road, but will the electronics in the new models be a problem? Will the 90 do as well as the 110 or should I rethink my decision?
My budget for this trip is $30,000, is it too small? How long do you guys think the trip will take? Will I have any problems if I travel with both my American and Moroccan passports? I heard that is easy to travel with a Moroccan passport in lots of countries in Southeast Asia and Africa. Once i get the car I will apply for the carnet de passage
Does any one has any advice for me? Thanx.
