Hallo adventurers,

planning to depart London in June 08 for 6-8 weeks journey, heading east.
It is very probable that I will get some serious sponsor money for the trip too. In ideal case, I'd like to make the journey with 1 or 2 other guys, for safety sake.

I do speak Russian, so a bit more rapport / connection / fun along the way can be expected.

Let me know, if you want to catch up and have a chat

Marian,
What are your plans once you reach Vlad or Magadan? Will you be crossing the USA? Any chance you would want to ride East to West? Your time frame works for me. I have been studying Russian on and off for a year for the reason you mentioned - hopefully a bit more rapport / connection / fun along the way.

Hi Lance

basically I have 3 months sabbatical (jun, jul, aug), then I have to be back in London. Right now the plan is to get to Vlad / Mag and then either cross to the US or come or try a bit China and Koreas.
No big preference yet.

Hi Marian

I am the same with a 3 month sabbatical (jun, jul, aug), then I have to be back in Boston. The current plan is to ride to the west coast of the US and ship my bike to Korea then take the ferry to Vlad, then head west to Europe.
Maybe we could meet in Korea and head west. I was hoping to spend more time in Europe, relaxing at the end of my trip, and that is why I want to head west not east.

Zazigi,
Where are you in Poland? I worked in Krakow for 6 months in 2006 and want to spend time there again this summer. How far do you plan to travel into Russia before riding back to Poland?

Just curious, how do you get serious sponsorship for the trip? Is it a goal orient trip? Humanitarian? etc? And what exactly do you consider serious? Like gear? Lodgings? Monetary? Just curious? Im looking to do a trip departing Canada and was trying to figure out something where I could obtain sponsorships for it. ?
Thx
