From Estonia With Love

It was the 1st of October 2008 when we waved our dear ones goodbye and left on a long journey. No Estonian had ever attemped to circumnavigate the globe on a motorbike before, but our jaunts to such off-the-beaten-track countries as Syria and Jordan, and even “infamous” Iran had sparked a desire to see even farther and more exotic places.

On our 1126-day expedition through Europe, South and North America, Australia, Asia and Africa we got to endure altitude sickness in Bolivia and malaria in Mali, eat live shrimp in Thailand, spend 12 days and nights in a no-man’s land between Angola and DR Congo, be escorted by doped policemen in Yemen, be evacuated by Pakistani military... and the list goes on.

In 2015, a book about this adventure was published in Estonian. Very well received by readers, it was announced the Travel Book of the Year by Estonian leading travel magazine Go Reisiajakiri. This book is the English-language version of the adventure.
