I got my visa in January 2020 and I was just one day away from the border when the closure of the Polish borders forced me to throw in the towel and head back home.
I plan to resume my ride in the early spring.
I have lost all interest in crossing Russia in the present circumstances ( my original plan was to reach Central Asia overland ) but I would like to hear first or second hand stories of people who have recently been in order to decide whether I shall cross Belarus off or not as well.
I don't really have to go since I am rerouting the first months of the ride towards the Baltic States, Southern Scandinavia and Iceland.
On New Year's Eve I was at a party where a Belarusian seeking asylum in France was invited.
I won't go into too many details here but the situation there has become unlivable for political opponents.
