Roaming Around The Planet

I found this post tonight on Reddit: I quit my job and have travelled for eight months through SE and Central Asia and the Caucuses.

I've been travelling since March this year through:

Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, China (incl Tibet and Xinjiang on the day of the riots), Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia, Karabakh and Russia.

Questions?

Useful travel sites: http://www.couchsurfing.org- make friends and find somewhere to stay for free anywhere in the world, invite other travellers into your home and be inspired to travel http://wikitravel.org/ - I use this over guidebooks (I haven't found any guidebooks in most of the countries I've been to) http://www.lonelyplanet.com/thorntree/index.jspa - Lonely planet forums I also use wikipedia, search for my passports (Australian & Russian) to find where I can go visa free.

UPDATE: If you want to read more of my stories or want pics, look at my blog. Want to get into Tibet without a permit?, Changing currency in the Uzbekistan black market, Being offered heroin while crossing from Uzbekistan to Kazakhstan.

You can find me on Twitter and take a look at my couchsurfing profile.

Heading out to a halloween party and will answer questions when I'm back on the internet.

TL;DR I've been travelling the world for eight months, ask me anything or read the story from the beginning.
