Mongolia vs Peru - Help me choose!
Hi!
I'm planning on a three and a bit week trip in June between graduating university and starting a job. It'll be my first proper riding adventure, I have a full license in the UK, but for simplicity and cost plod about on a wee CG125, which I bought as a project to learn to work on bikes.
Anyway I'd really like to make the most of the few weeks that I have off and go and explore by motorcycle - having been inspired by countless other stories. I'm obviously a little apprehensive about doing it alone, especially with my limited riding experience, but I've been unable to field any trip buddies, and I really don't want to miss out on my chance. I've spent no time off road, but getting off the beaten track really appeals.
Two places that really interest me, are Peru and Mongolia. Can't explain exactly why, but they appeal, and I may as well start somewhere. In Peru I'd be looking at renting something like an XR250 and in Mongolia a Shinneray 150 as seems to be the most prevalent rental bikes in both countries - without costing too much.
So any suggestions on where would make the best first moto trip? And any tips to soothe mine (and potentially those close to me's) concerns?
Thanks!
