From Beijing to Venice Via Land and Sea

The departure date is set: on the 17th March 2015 we will be flying to Beijing from Melbourne, our home, to start our Silk Road adventure.

We will be travelling across 11 countries, covering around km 20,000, to follow one of the many ancient trade routes between the Eastern & the Western worlds for about 6 months. 

Allow us to introduce ourselves: we are Max & Alex, we are from Italy and have lived in Australia for the past few years (10 & 7 years, to be exact). We have a passion for travelling, food and different cultures and traditions.

The route you see in the map below is our next project, which we are in the process of developing in detail in the next few months. 

A lot of planning is involved, mostly concerning visas for Asian countries and getting around what we would like to do and see on our travels.

We will post photos, videos, useful information and advice for everyone who also wants to travel these countries and for who never really thought about it, to inspire them to abandon the everyday routine and get travelling.
