Hello From Germany

[megaperlz]

Hi everyone!

I'm writing this sitting on one of the last 2 chairs in our living room in munich, germany. Besides me my wife fights the soon ending battle of her studies. Next month we will move back in with my parents, in september I'll quitt my job and we'll be heading east. All the way east....

Although we don't want to plan out any details we would like to go through greece, turkey, iran, pakistan, asia to australia. In our garage are two Honda CB 500 which we are currently preparing for the trip.

As our families and friends are yet to be persuaded on this idea we seek some encouragement from fellow travelers who don't think we are totally nuts (we may be).

So Hi everybody!

Hi - it sounds a completely reasonable plan to me

oh ? But surely it is your family and friends who are totally nuts?

September is a very very long time away

To me, from what you are saying, if you 'seek some encouragement' then are you sure it is not you that needs some slight amount of convincing that what you are about to do it a great adventure?

You shouldn't need to persuade your family or friends, best to let them be how they are. I would suggest you have better things to expend your efforts on. Like being excited.

Once you are out and on the road with your wife, all packed and heading east, well, the world will seem a very different scene then how it is presently for you. I imagine you will both smile and breathe a huge sigh of relief that you are actually following through with your intentions and that you smell the calling of the East.

As you might guess, we all want to hear about your adventure, so do I hear a trip report being started, ja?
