Russia & Kazakhstan. Is it worth pinning my hopes on 2022 ?
Hey everyone,
In early February of 2020 I set off from France on my bicycle.
My goal was to reach the Pacific Ocean somewhere in Russia or China, taking in most of Central Asia on the way over.
I was planning to be gone for a couple of years.
I had quit my job & sold my apartment the fall prior.
I made it as far as the Poland-Belarus border when the s..t hit the fan.
Since then, and as far as I know, the Russian and Kazakh borders have remained sealed off.
Some Central Asian States have reopened their borders to foreigners last summer, but not the 2 giants north of them.
I don't want to fly.
Considering the amount of preparation I have to do before resuming such a ride ( getting the 3 month Russian business visa is time-consuming, to start with ) and the uncertainties hovering around the pandemic should I already ' unpin ' the hopes I had on 2022 ?
Levelo.
