Damo

Hi, I am 27 something something, and have wanted to go on another big trip since I came back from living in NZ when I was 21. However, I have spent the last few years persuing a career, whilst trying to get away as much as possible on short breaks. But now the time has come to make it happen again.... the world is my oyster!! Check out my trip!!

Damo Hey Becky, Fly into China on the 6th so will just miss you. I am sure you will be fine though, just book yourself into a hostel with lots of other travellers and I am sure you will make alot of friends. Hope you enjoy your trip.

Damo Hi Ali, I won't be able to join you on your trip, but have wanted to do this for a while and was going to sign up this year until I found out my sister is getting married at the end of July. I will be travelling a similiar route after the wedding, so will possibly be in some of places at the same time. (my trip is also on here) and was thinking I may bump into some of the ralliers along the way. (maybe scab a couple of lifts also). Anyway, good luck, lets keep in contact and if you pass on your details I will drop you some sponsorship. Thanks Damo

MongolianAli Hey Dano! Yep, lots if weddings this year! Had a few people unable to join because of relatives suddenly getting romantic and tying the knot. But thanks for the support, and yes, definitely hook up in route if you want. If the car us still in one piece we'll let you hitch along! Stay in touch. :-)

Damian Hi Damo, your trip sounds really interesting. My plans are pretty flexible. Planning on starting mid year and thought of 2 possible routes: from California going south to central and south america and then west towards Australia, SEAsia, Central Asia, Eastern Europe, etc... or start going towards Australia and end in Central/SouthAmerica. We should connect and see if the timing works for parts of the trip.

Ludmila Hi Damo, yep I m still planning it! I was not very active here for a while indeed as I have recently come back from 1 month trip in Africa ( Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya) and been a bit busy with my job. I m currently in Moscow. Do you plan to visit Russia? Let's stay in touch, would be nice if our travel routes cross somewhere. I am still thinking whether to start from Asia or Latin America anyway.

Damo Hi Ludmila, I will be starting in Europe but trying to get through quite quickly as I have done a lot of that already. Should be in that area in Sept to Oct ish. Hopefully you will be around there then? It would be good to cross paths especially around this region. After that I will go on to Russia. Also, will you be going to Iran? Hopefully I can get there also. Good to hear your getting away. I would like to see more of Africa after visiting S Africa a couple years ago... but thats something which will have to happen in the future.

Damo Yea cool, keep me updated with your plans. I have got to start in Europe and want to end up in E Russia, so probably will be moving the other way... but I am game for a trek. I would really like to do something like that in Northern Iran or Kyrgyzstan.

Damo Hi Greg, How are you doing. I am doing a trip similiar to yours in part so though it would be good to get in touch. I will be picking up the trans siberian railway from north of Kazakhstan somewhere. Atm, I haven't planned that far ahead. Also, If you have the chance I would recommend going to St Petersburg before Moscow, if you haven't already. Its the best place I have ever visited. Cheers Damo
