My final document arrived today. I have 2 more sleeps in this place, and then we're headed for Malaysia. I am sat here with a weird feeling. It feels surreal to be here finally after the past months and the short-term trip stalling, having to get documents and invest a crazy amount of money. I want this, but now it comes with a "now or never" feeling. If this doesn't work out, that's it. I am so fucking excited to see everything I'm gonna see, the hardships I'm going to face, the friends, connections and everything I'll see in between.
I have smashed out 5 books this year and made some killer plans for Iraq, Pakistan, Malaysia, and Afghanistan so far. And, it turns out, the guy I will be shipping my bike together with has already been to Afghanistan 3 times, so I won't be going in the deep end.
This trip utterly terrifies me, but I also know deep down I don't want anything else right now (maybe a gf and family in the future lol).
It's straight to Valhalla or right back to the trenches.
For all those who have supported me so far, thank you so much, I love you.
Also, I will be doing some exclusive guides on here soon about how I got a CDP, the process of shipping a bike and other important things that all ADV riders should know! I don't know whether I should be calling myself an ADV rider on a little 125 lmao.
From me and my wife (Baby Sai), I wanna say thanks a Bon Voyage motherfuckers (you're coming with me)
