Hi Aditya,
Sounds like a great trip.
Let me know when/if you plan to visit Sydney and I'll see if I can offer you a couch to sleep on.

How are you managing the Visa's with an Indian passport (I'm assuming here) ??



I'm doing a partial RTW starting from Middle-East then head to Central Asia - Russia - South Korea - US west coast - Central America - South America. The biggest issue is obtaining visas for South American countries as they don't issue visas earlier than 45 days of actual entry.


regards
Vikram

My RTW starts March 2017 and I live near Boston Massachusetts. My partner cancelled.... I would really like to find someone to ride with me specifically in Russia, Japan and Africa. Since my partner cancelled, now I am thinking of starting from Los Angeles shipping to Australia, towards Japan then Russia towards the west. Here is my website if interested but need to update the route as my partner cancelled.

Yup. Ist week out of india flying to VLADIVOSTOK. Around 20th of may to st. Petersburg. May do Scandinavia, else may enter europe through turkey n greece, or through latvia to poland etc. So europe around ist june for sure and about 45 to 60 days over europe ride and then fly maybe from lisbon to usa. This is as of now. While I have dated and routed on an excel sheet, it may change due to costs etc. Scandinavia is damn expensive so may go, may not. Cheers!
