New blog: our #Russia overland leg from #Georgia to #Kazakhstan via Verkhny Lars, Vladikavkaz, Dagestan, Astrakhan, the Volga-Caspian corridor, and one suspicious pontoon bridge. Add GRU questions, scanned devices, jammed GPS, KPP-105, Bochkari Cola, and #SilkRoadAdventure Road history under the tires. Normal Tuesday, clearly.

New blog drop: Turkey Silk Road Overland Part 2.

Cave hotel in Cappadocia, Uçhisar by balloon, Derinkuyu underground, Sultan Han, Saruhan and the dervishes, then north to Aybastı Perşembe Yaylası and east along the Black Sea back into Georgia at Batumi. This picks up from our earlier Turkey chapter and gets much stranger, older, and greener.

Siberia surprised us. 🌊

Lake Baikal isn’t just the world’s deepest lake — it holds ~20% of Earth’s unfrozen freshwater, sits in an active rift zone, and even hosts a neutrino telescope beneath its surface. Add Decembrist history in Irkutsk and winds that hit hurricane force.

Fascinating, factual travel writing:

🍷 Georgia's Kakheti region isn't just wine country; it's where wine was born 8,000 years ago.

Spent a week in Utqiagvik — the northernmost town in the U.S., deep in the Arctic Circle. 98 photos of polar night skies, Iñupiat life, whale-bone arches & a town where the sun sleeps for weeks. Strange, cold & oddly beautiful. Read our winter travelogue and wonder why you haven’t booked a flight yet.

From Split 🇭🇷 to Vienna 🇦🇹, we found the perfect stopover: Maribor, Slovenia.

We visited "Old Vine" in Lent district—certified by Guinness as the oldest producing vine in the world (400+ years!). It survived Napoleon and WWII bombings to still produce wine today. 🍷

We also found incredible pleskavica at Gril Ranca right on the Drava River.
