This week, our trip took a completely unexpected turn…
We are illegal in Russia. Yes, really.
While we were trying to reach the border with Mongolia, in the Altai region, the border closed overnight. With no way out, our visa expired… and here we are, stuck in Russia, not knowing when—or if—we will be able to regularize our situation.
In this video, we tell you exactly what happened:
how the border closed
why our visa became illegal
what this means for our trip
the real risks if the situation doesn't improve
the urgent steps we are trying to take
And above all… how we're staying positive amidst this bureaucratic rollercoaster.
An intense, stressful, but honest episode—which also shows the other side of the coin of traveling in a 4x4 across Asia. Thank you for being with us during these moments ❤️
Don't hesitate to subscribe to follow what happens next, because what happens next... we absolutely did not plan it.
