Bonjour à tous,
1 an après mon premier contact avec le forum (qui m'a bien aidé pour partir en ouzbekistan) je vous retrouve pour préparer un nouveau voyage.
Je souhaite partir une quizaine de jours en Aout au Liban, seul avec mon sac. J'avoue ne rien savoir de ce pays (à part quelques photos plutôt jolies) et depuis cet été ne plus trop avoir confiance dans les guides types (routard et autres).
Rien de mieux que de vrais gens.
Donc mes questions sont simples :Quel itinéraire suivre en 15 jours (transport locaux uniquement) et les coins à vraiment éviter ?Comment ce procurer du cash sur place (si c'est possible) ? que faut-il privilégier €/$ ?les grandes erreurs à ne pas commettre.je pense que j'aurai plein d'autres questions mais ça viendra.
Merci à vous tous et bon voyage
Je ne sais pas si mes infos vont t'aider, mais je connais quelques personnes du Liban, et d'ailleurs nous nous voyons souvent pour manger libanais... Héhé c'est trop bon, enfin bref :)
Pour ton voyage, tu ne devrais pas trop t'inquiéter. Car les libanais sont des personnes vraiment sympa et chaleureuses. Donc si jamais tu es vraiment en galère, tu trouveras toujours quelqu'un pour te renseigner.
La capitale Beyrouth est très festive la nuit, donc déjà il faut absolument profiter de cela. Elle n'est pas réputée dangereuse, mais comme tu es seul, on ne sait jamais sois prudent quand même. A l'extérieur, ce sera plutôt nature, donc il te faut des vêtements bien confortables "plein air". Beaucoup de roches à grimper, de beaux paysages. Tu pourras aussi te baigner dans la Méditerranée. Enfin, ce sont des infos que tu pourras trouver dans n'importe quel guide de voyage. Il parait que tu peux tout voir assez rapidement, ce n'est pas très grand :)
15 jours te permettront de bine faire le tour du Pays.
Beyrouth, capitale qui reste à taille humaine, et avec une vie assez occidentalisé. Des bonnes sorties le soir. QQues jolis quartiers à visiter... Mais le plus chouette (pour moi) reste à l'extérieur de la capitale. Après tout dépend de ce que tu souhaite/aime. Il y a plein d'endroits sympas côté nature.
- Le Chouf et les réserves de cèdres (montagne au dessus de Saida)
- QQues baignades dans la mediterranée, dans des clubs privés ou sur la plage publique. Et ce n'est pas ce mettre à part que d'aller dans un club, même plutôt une expérience intéressante pour voir/rencontrer une certaine population libanaise relativement aisée (à voir le dimanche à Eddesands!). Les plages publiques sont plutot sales.
- La montagne au dessus de Batroun, Les Cèdres, les monastères et hermitages de la vallée de la Quadisha (jolis randos)
- Les villes plus arabes comme Saïda, Tyr et Tripoli avec des souks.
- Des vestiges historiques à Tyr, Baalbeck, Jbeil (=Byblos) pour ne citer que les plus connus
- du vin dans la vallée de la Bekaa.
Tu peux arriver directement avec des euros que tu pourras changer sur place (pas mal de banques dans les villes) sinon avec des dollars directement utilisables dans tous le pays. On te rend la monnaie aussi bien en dollars que livre libanaise (taux fixe 1 $ = 1500LL). Endin des distributeurs visa partout également dans les villes, avec la comm habituelle...
Les coins à éviter, la Bekaa sud, le long de la frontiere israélienne, les reportages photos dans les fiefs/quartiers Hezbollah sont également risqués...ils ne fait pas bon trainer trop dans ces coins, tu te sentiras vite surveillé.
Les erreurs à éviter : croire que le Liban est dangereux. Ta sécurité personnelle n'est pas trop menacée. Certes la situation politique est tendue mais ce n'est pas contre toi. Les touristes sont le bienvenus et plutot bien accuiellis et les libanais très sympas et toujours prêt à te dépanner/démerder/arranger/informer.
Côté transport, beaucoup de liaison en transport en commun sur les grands Axes (Beyrouth-Tripoli, Beyrouth-Saida-Tyr, Beyrouth-Chtoura-Baalbeck) mais un peu moins sur les axes secondaires.
Enfin en Août, il fera assez chaud. Tu pourras profiter de l'air plus frais en montagne.
Voilà une idée, minimaliste, avec qques jours en rab pour prendre plus de temps aux endroits préférés
Si tu veux sortir des sentiers, tu peux faire des randos. Y'a des clubs, francophone qui organisent des randos assez chouettes le WE :
- www.libantrek.com (je te recommande)
- www.lebanese-adventure.com
- www.esprit-nomade.com
Et si tu cherches des logements, option "gîte", ce site en référence qques uns :

Salut,
Merci pour ces infos qui me permettent de pas mal dégrossir. Partant seul, et sans aucune réservation sur place, et bien qu'ayant un idée de route (grace à vous) j'aime bien me laisser porter au grès des bus et me perdre hors de sentiers battus, est-il simple de trouver des logements type guest house, voir de loger chez l'habitant (si c'est la coutume) et comment reconnaître les "zones à risque", je pense qu'il n'y a pas de panneaux 🙂.
De plus, peut-on faire "librement" des photos ? ou est-ce que ça craint, les libannais sont-ils ouvert à ça (portraits) ?
Pour ce qui est du fric, tu me conseil de partir avec l'intégralité en liquide, ou le réseau Visa est-il vraiment développer dans les campagnes ? J'ai du dépanner plusieurs routards en Uzbekistan car il n'y a aucun distibuteur et les travellers ne fonctionnent pas là bas .... j'ai pas envie d'avoir le même problème qu'eux!
Quand tu dis assez chaud c'est 30, 40, 50°c ... ? de toute façon c'est hyper sec comme climat ?
En bref, si je résume c'est un pays ouvert et à partir du moment ou l'on se tient bien il n'y à aucun risque comme dans tous les pays hors zone de guerre...
Ne pas photographier les installations de l'armée ou police.
Moi, personnellement je partirais avec du liquide, les travelers cheques sont quasi impossibles à changer. Tu peux retirer des dollars ici directement des distributeurs qui te proposent les deux monnaies locales : dollar ou livre libanais.
En août au dessus de 30 et chaleur humide.
En bref, si je résume c'est un pays ouvert et à partir du moment ou l'on se tient bien il n'y à aucun risque comme dans tous les pays hors zone de guerre...
Merci pour ces infos.
Comme le pays est assez "petit", je me demande si je ne vais pas un peu visiter les pays allentour, pour ce qui est de passer en syrie, les frontières sont elles ouvertes, avec quel type de visas, faut il les commender avant ... bref, les interrogations basiques ! Peut on y circuler librement, dormir à la belle (enregistrement dans des hotel style ex-urss) bref se fait on emmerder ?
Quel est leur relation avec l'alcool... et la fête....
et toujours les questions pratique : argent, sécurité ...
Petit ou pas, avec 15 jours, vous aurez une belle durée pour parcourir le Liban.
Pourquoi voulez-vous aller "chez les voisins"?
Il y a de quoi remplir votre programme pour deux semaines rien qu'au Liban!
Bonjour Michel,
Comme on se retrouve, en effet je crois que c'est avec vous que j'avais discuté l'année dernière pour la préparation de mon voyage en ouzbekistan... merci pour les infos qui m'ont d'ailleurs bien aidé, et c'est sur j'y retournerai mais en hiver pour voir l'envers du décors !
pourquoi aller chez les voisins, c'est simplement pour voir autre chose, une autre culture, bref tant qu'a être dans le coins autant essayer d'en faire le plus possible et surtout loins des routes touristiques ! quuitte à prolonger le voyage !
je viens de prendre connaissance de ton message, et tout comme toi, j'envisage un circuit sac-à-dos au Liban au mois d'août. Peut-être pourrions nous envisager de faire un bout de chemin ensemble ?
Je n'ai encore jamais visité le Liban, ni aucun pays du moyen-orient, et cela m'effraie un peu de partir seule.
Je suis disponible tout le mois d'août et j'ai déjà une vague idée de circuit.
Au plaisir de te lire prochainement.
Bonjour,
On revient de passer une dizaine de jours au Liban et si notre "expérience" peut vous être utile...
- Devises.
Le $ est le roi incontesté, son taux change tous les jours et il est accepté presque partout (parfois refusé dans les zones contrôlées par le Hezbollah).
L'€ est changeable dans les multiples bureaux de change de Beyrouth, mais attention aux commissions. Le meiux est de faire le change dans les Banques qui vous feront payer un timbre fiscal mais appliqueront un taux correct. Mes derniers changes de fin mars: 200$ = 298 000LL et 150€ = 299 000LL
- Le coins à éviter.
Il n'y en a pas. Nous sommes allés partout avec notre voiture de loc (Tripoli, Baalbeck, Arjan, Tyr, les Cedres et bien d'autres encore). Dans certaines zones l'ambiance paraît plus lourde du fait des affiches 4x3 à la gloire des Ayatollah et certains martyrs, mais sans plus. Nous n'avons été victime de rien et n'avons rien vu ou entendu au cours de notre séjour.
Cela ne veut pas dire que le danger n'existe pas!
- l'auto-stop n'est pas développé. Nous en avons vu aucun.
Le réseau de bus et de taxis collectifs semble couvrir tout le territoire, mais certains chauffeurs de croient dans un rallye.
En 15 jours vous aurez le temps de faire tout le tour et de juger par vous-même.
Bon voyage.
Hello Fellow Travelers,
I’ve just returned from a week-long trip to Azerbaijan, covering both Baku and the country’s main sights.
Contrary to what the "Travel Advisory" from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs says, you can travel everywhere safely—the Azerbaijanis are lovely to foreigners, and the police are absolutely helpful.
Just follow the local laws, as you would anywhere, to avoid any trouble.
I highly recommend visiting this stunning country.

Hi,
We’re supposed to go to Oman from October 17th to 30th for a 4x4 road trip. We’d already bought our flight tickets before the war started... We’re looking for recent traveler feedback from anyone who’s been there lately. Obviously, we plan to avoid areas around American military bases as well as the Salalah, Duqm, Musandam regions, and the border with Yemen.
Thanks in advance for your input.

Hello, we’re two senior couples who often travel with a guide and driver. For this trip to Oman, though, we’d like (for various reasons) to have a fixed base and visit the must-sees with a local guide but on a hub-and-spoke basis. Do you think that’s possible, and what would be the best place to stay?
We’ll be in Oman for 7 days in March 2026.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
Hi there,
This year we want to go to Georgia. We have a ticket to Istanbul and would prefer to avoid an Istanbul/Tbilisi flight to see a bit of Turkey, which I love.
I found a train from Ankara to Kars (25h): why not?
But how do we cross the border: which town? Is it easy (or not)?
I’m leaning toward Batumi, but I’m not sure about anything—thanks for your tips!
Thanks for your insights
I’m planning a two-week trip to Iran in September and I’m reaching out for some valuable tips....
After doing a bit of research, I’ve sketched out a rough itinerary.
I plan to spend 2–3 days in Tehran, then head down to Isfahan for 4–5 days with an overnight stop in Kashan. After that, I’m thinking of going to Shiraz for 2–3 days, including a visit to Persepolis.
Then back to Tehran with a 2-day stop in Yazd.
What do you think? Is this doable? Are there any other must-see spots?
The north, with Tabriz and Masuleh, also caught my eye, but what should I cut to fit them in?
If you have any recommendations for high-quality, authentic hotels, I’d love to hear them.
And one last (silly) question—I’m a smoker (unfortunately!), so is it allowed for women to smoke in Iran? If so, under what conditions?
Thanks in advance for your help, and I’m all ears for any advice!
hi,
do we absolutely have to get the ETA before traveling to Israel these days?
some people say it’s not mandatory, others say it is.
any feedback, please?
thanks
Hey everyone!
A comeback after so many years... but my question is simple:
"Has anyone wandered around these two countries recently? (The posts and travel journals I’ve read are a bit dated.) I’m planning a trip for late spring—one I had mapped out for 2023 but never got to do.
For any info on transportation, border crossings, cost of living, and interesting hostel/GH addresses, thanks in advance! 😉
Hi,
We’ve got flight tickets for a two-week trip to Georgia from April 8th to 23rd.
Should we go ahead with our trip or postpone it to September, given what’s been happening in the Persian Gulf since late February 2026?
Are there any impacts in Georgia?
Thanks for your help
Hi there, I’d like to spend a few days in these two countries. How many days do you recommend? Any ideas for things to see? Which airline should I take to go from one to the other? I think there are no more direct flights? Thanks
Hi,
We’re heading to Asia this summer, and to avoid arriving in the middle of the night, we’ve decided to stop over in Dubai for a day and a half on the way there and back. Any ideas for activities during this super-hot period? Bonus points if they’re reasonably priced 🙂 Which neighborhood is best to stay in?
Thanks in advance, and have a great day!
Bruno
We visited the northern/northeast part of Oman, the most touristy area, last February over 11 days there. It’s a great time to go because the temperatures are pleasant and there aren’t too many tourists, even though the country is only just starting to develop its image. 11 days was enough for us to see the essentials, but you can always extend your stay depending on what you want.
2 days in Muscat, 2 days in the desert—we would’ve happily stayed longer—2 days in the mountains, 3 days in the wadis, and the rest for the cities, villages, and the coast.
Oman offers stunning landscapes and a genuinely warm welcome. We always felt safe, never experienced any malicious looks or gestures.
As usual for our trips, we chose to organize everything ourselves but with a guide to better explore and soak up the local culture.
The point of my post isn’t to recount our journey but to encourage and reassure anyone considering this destination.
If I can be of help, I’m happy to answer your questions based on what I know.
Living in Amman, Jordan, I’d like to visit Jerusalem and the surrounding areas during the Christmas season.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on:
- the security conditions in Israel/Palestine,
- sightseeing in Jerusalem during the Christmas period.
Hi! If anyone has been to Georgia recently and could tell me if it's feasible to travel around the country using public transport. My itinerary would be Kutaisi (my arrival airport), Tbilisi, Mestia, Ushguli, Batumi, and back to Kutaisi (departure airport) in ten days. My flight arrives late at night, around 1 AM—would it be possible to take a taxi to get to the city center?
Any advice is welcome, and regarding the language, can you get by with English? Thanks in advance.
Hi everyone, I’m married to a Kurd from Iraq, and we’re heading to Kurdistan in November with our two-and-a-half-year-old son. Even though I’m really excited about this trip and happy to go, I’m a bit nervous because as a European woman, I feel like there’s nothing to do and I have this image of a dangerous country… To put my mind at ease, I’d love to chat with other Europeans who’ve been there. Thanks! !
Hi there
Does anyone know if it's allowed to use a drone (under 250 g) in Oman?
If so, is there any registration required for the device?
Thanks in advance for your feedback.
Laurent
Hi there,
We’re traveling from 12/23/2025 to 1/9/2025 in Oman.
However, our flight lands in Dubai.
So I’m looking for a car rental company that allows crossing the border into the Sultanate of Oman.
Thanks for your recommendations!
I think I saw there’s also the option of vehicles with rooftop tents…
Hello... nothing new for several
years now...
Can you go there independently from the rest of the country? Any recent experiences, either in Kurdistan or the rest of Iraq?
Thanks a lot
Hi, we’re traveling to Georgia soon and want to go to Azerbaijan. I’m having trouble finding info on crossing the border.
Is it possible to do it by car or train? Are the land borders between the two countries open? Or do we have to fly?
Thanks in advance
Since I had trouble finding up-to-date info, here’s an update on some key points for Jordan/Egypt ferries as of August 2025.
Right now, AB Maritime is the only company still operating ferries. Other companies sometimes mentioned (Jordan Sinaï Hotel and Tour, Sinaï Ferry, etc.) have stopped running (no response by phone or email, and confirmed on-site).
On the Jordanian side, the fast ferry doesn’t leave from the port of Aqaba but from Tala Bay (20 km further south). There’s supposedly a slow ferry that departs in the evening from Aqaba port (according to a taxi driver), but I couldn’t find any info about it.
Currently, there’s one ferry per day in each direction for Aqaba/Taba and another for Aqaba/Nuweiba. But the schedules aren’t great for backpackers—and they’re not the same every day.
On the Jordanian side at Tala Bay, you access the port by walking through a large resort, go through border control before boarding the ferry (+ luggage check). You have to pay the exit tax of 10 JOD (12 €) to "someone sitting on a bench in front"!!! It’s true—you need to ask who to pay, or customs won’t let you through without the magic coupon.
Oddly, I arrived early and managed to take a different ferry than the one I’d booked online by insisting (it wasn’t open for online reservations).
I bought the ticket on the AB Maritime website. Confirmation by email was brief. Then you have to find another person outside the port who has the passenger list and will give you the actual ticket. (What a joy this organization is!) Luckily, everyone’s really friendly with tourists.
On the Egyptian side, arrival in Taba isn’t in Taba itself but at Taba Heights (20 km further south), in a hotel zone. Immigration can be more or less quick depending on your place in the queue at the single office... (free Sinai visa or paid Egypt visa). And outside... nothing. Nothing: no exchange bureau, no ATM, no drink or SIM vendor... A nightmare. No bus station. One or two taxis at prohibitive prices. Personally, I walked about fifteen minutes to the Strand Hotel to find someone who could actually help me (ATM out of service in that big resort). From there, two bus companies currently operate: Webus in small vans but you have to book at least 2 days in advance (frequent, fast, reasonable prices) or GoBus with large buses (only one per day, even cheaper). They head south to Nuweiba, Sharm El Sheikh, etc. A taxi from Taba to Sharm was quoted at 120 USD at the port exit!
For me, the ferry and GoBus schedules didn’t align at all. If I’d known about Webus earlier, I could’ve saved 6 hours of waiting...
On another note, a Taiwanese traveler I met also mentioned that the Hurghada-Sharm El Sheikh ferry is no longer running.
Basically, these border crossings and ferries are more suited to organized tours than backpackers, but it’s still doable.
Hello everyone,
We’re just back from a wonderful adventure exploring Wadi Rum.
We spent 3 days and 2 unforgettable nights there. Our guide, Mohamad, introduced us to the desert—its beauty, its mysteries—with rare skill, kindness, and generosity. We hiked through breathtakingly beautiful places, slept in a Bedouin tent and under the stars, enjoyed delicious meals, and shared moments of incredible quality.
Mohamad honored us by sharing songs, poems, and stories, and introducing us to his family. His humor, life philosophy, and empathy will stay with us forever.
Without a doubt, one of the most beautiful experiences we’ve ever had.
Mohamad’s contact details can be shared via private message.
I’m also happy to provide any info about this unforgettable trip.
Michèle
So happy to be back with you all that I’m rushing to share my trip report!
We chose to stay exactly 14 days to avoid paying for a visa. As a result, we didn’t have time to explore the south—we’ll be back because Oman is a great destination in January. Temperatures were a perfect 25–27°C during the day. No rain for us, but it can happen.
We bought the *Évasion Oman* guidebook. We started with the Jebels (the mountains), abandoned villages, then the desert, wadis along the coast, and finished in the capital. For us, it was easier to go from cold (2,000 meters, after all) to hot before returning to our freezing Normandy in January.
The people were incredibly welcoming and lovely. We camped in natural camping areas where you can make a fire (free, no facilities or water). Easy to find—just search "camping" on Google Maps (an essential app). We traveled as a group of five and rented a 4x4 seven-seater from Europcar before leaving (price included our insurance): 800 euros for 14 days. Essential for getting everywhere, as there are lots of dirt tracks. We brought our camping gear from France since the baggage allowance is 30 kg. Oh, and also two liters of rum and a box of white wine—also essential.
Food was tricky if you don’t like spicy dishes or just chicken. You have to eat at international restaurants, which cost about the same as back home. We’d packed vacuum-sealed meat for the first three days and a few cans. For beaches, stick to the ones marked on Google for swimming—otherwise, they can be dirty and full of oil.
We arrived at 6:30 AM, bought a SIM card (make sure to remove yours before arriving and tape it to the back of your phone), exchanged money (not great rates at the airport—better in malls or souks; no exchanges in banks), and picked up the car. Then we headed to a Carrefour supermarket, but it was closed. We drove to Jebel Al Akhdar, the Sayq Plateau, where we found markets along the way. There are also bazaar shops where you can get gas bottles—they’re everywhere in mid-sized towns. There are even hypermarkets.
We hiked the well-marked old Sayq trail (red and white markings). Our return was improvised. We camped on the plateau and got cold—bring 0°C sleeping bags! The next day, we visited the abandoned villages of Wadi Bani Habib: juniper forests, canyon viewpoints. Then Birkat Al Maws on the way down—a beautiful palm grove. Next, Nizwa Hotel. The beds were really hard there—ask to see the rooms and test the beds before booking. There’s always availability, with prices starting at 35 euros for two.
On the third day, we went to Jebel Shams. Hiked along the canyon starting from Ghul, then descended. Camped on the road to Balha Fortress, which we visited the next morning (stunning!). Then we explored Nizwa before heading to the Wahiba Desert. Camped along the way, then drove to our accommodation: two days in the desert. We found the Thousand Nights Camp 40% cheaper a month before. Note: you have to leave by 1 PM in a convoy to reach the hotel.
On the sixth day, we hiked in the desert on our own because the activity prices were outrageous.
On the seventh day, we headed to a wadi, Bani Khalid, then to Sur, a seaside hotel. We booked just one room for five of us—hotel apartments are huge, and since we had our camping mattresses, it wasn’t a problem to set up in the living room. There’s even a kitchen. In cities, camping spots are poorly located—near intersections, etc.
Beach time and sightseeing on the eighth day, then we drove to the white sand beach in Fins, where we stayed for two nights (we left the tents set up but empty). This was our favorite campsite—go all the way to the end of the road, there’s a small cove and a stunning spot.
On the ninth day, we visited Wadi Shab and the Salma Plateau to find the tombs. The hike up from Fins was way too long—probably better to take the route suggested in the guidebook for a round trip. Meh, no one really enjoyed it.
On the tenth day, we went to Wadi Al Arbiyyin and drove to Seeb Al Mouj to book a diving trip. Stayed at Al Ferdous Hotel Apartments until the end—well-located for visiting Muscat and a great value. Just make sure to check the room first, as some beds are very hard and others aren’t.
Eleventh day: diving and beach time.
Twelfth day: visited the Grand Mosque (unlucky—first day it became paid, and not just a little: 8 OMR). Then explored the old city.
Thirteenth day: the Grand Opera and beach at The Village, where we found a great pizzeria: pizzawifi.com.
Fourteenth day: And that’s it—back home, thrilled to have discovered this magical country. We’ll be back!
Hi everyone!
I’m giving this a shot, hoping to get some answers that can help clear things up.
We’re planning a trip to Oman in February and want to rent a car.
The catch is we probably won’t have received our international driving permits in time.
After some research, we still can’t figure out if there are any rental companies that only require a French license...
or possibly a certified translation of it.
Given that the French license is recognized in Oman, we’re hoping for some advice.
Any tips would be hugely appreciated, and thanks in advance to those who can help!
Best regards,
Olyana
Hi there, 😄
my friend and I are leaving in 15 days for Kurdistan, by road, in our little converted van... The only thing we're sure of (well, the only thing we've actually thought about! The adventures will take care of the rest!) is that we're planning to take a month to get there, 15 days on site to visit my sister-in-law who's been living there as a teacher for a year! and 15 days to rush back, because my boyfriend has to go back to work on November 3rd!! After that, the itinerary isn't set yet—I've just bought a map of Europe... and still haven't found one of Kurdistan! or Iraq! I just finished work yesterday... and until now, this trip felt so far away... I didn't imagine much about it... I kept telling myself, "You'll see when you're done working, your brain will be more available!" Well, now my brain is in "gooo go go!" mode 😮 and it's going fast! I've got tons of questions popping up all at once!
- The itinerary... (we're thinking of lingering a bit in Greece on the way there... and taking a more direct route back). I don't think we've fully grasped what it's going to be like to cover at least 5,000 km in such a short time! Bibi's tinkering with the van (a Peugeot Expert that goes anywhere) and I'm the tour guide!
- Camping in the van... where? Under what conditions? Areas to avoid? Places not to miss?
- The borders... especially the Iraqi one! What are the formalities? Visa or no visa?
- The political situation in the countries we'll cross... (with our entourage putting pressure on us—they're right, of course! How many times have we heard, "You're crazy! Oh, you're really going? We've been hearing about this for a year but didn't think it was so soon... and with everything going on right now, isn't it risky? Aren't you afraid of getting kidnapped?" 🤪 To be honest, we don't know much, we've been a bit out of the loop, working hard... and just craving adventure! But I admit, sometimes I get little waves of panic 😕 when I check official websites... then I go back to daydreaming!
- Why not Couchsurfing?
- Oh crap, the most annoying part... the paperwork, insurance, health stuff, blablabla...
- Will the van hold up? 😐
- Should we prepare for the possibility of not making it all the way, and accept that not as a failure but as a different kind of adventure? Well, there you have it—a little peek into the chaos in my brain! 🤪/😎
So if any of this resonates with you... if you feel like sharing ideas, advice, or stories... we're all ears! Well, I am, and I'll pass it on to Bibi, the fearless warrior, wrench in hand, new tires at the ready, changing the oil and fine-tuning the beast! When I ask him what he expects, what he thinks, what his fears are (with me being the eternal scaredy-cat about wild camping in places I can't picture when we arrive at night—apparently a typical female fear, according to my surveys!—and the wonder of waking up to discover our surroundings... we made the right choice!), his desires... he just says, "Well, we'll start the car, go straight ahead, and see what happens. What do you think could go wrong?!" We complement each other well!
