I'm seeking an overland group: SE asia to europe over 6 months in 2014.

Hi, I'm planning a 6-9 month trip from Singapore to UK, starting around April 2014.
Still not certain of the route:
1) SE asia-Nepal-india-pakistan-iran-turkey?
2) SE asia-Nepal-China-Russia-'stans-iran-turkey?
3) SE asia-Nepal-China-Russia-Scandinavia?

I'll be motorcycling, will ship my bike via air from Australia to Singapore. The plan is to eventually sell the bike in Europe and fly back to Australia to start work in January 2015.

I haven't done an overland trip before so would greatly appreciate being part of a group or riders who have experience at round the world trips as well as motorcycle maintenance. On the other hand I am a qualified doctor by profession which may be of value to the group I'm riding with. I'm also an experienced camper and an expert with gadgets and technology.

To me this will be both a holiday adventure and also an opportunity to volunteer in a variety of eye-surgery clinics around the world (to see how they work). I plan to spend about a couple of weeks in about one eye clinic per country.

I'd like to see as many countries as possible in Asia. I'd particularly like to spend some time at Tilganga Eye Hospital in Nepal.
On the other hand, I'd just like to scoot through Pakistan and Iran to reach Europe as soon as possible to minimise risk.

If your interested in travelling with me or if you already have a group with a similar itinerary, please contact me.

Cheers,

Jan
