In Spring 2015 we traveled – finally – to what we dubbed the ‘Stans’, the former Soviet Republics in Central Asia. We kept a blog, which you can access here, or by using the sidebar on the left, and I have also created easy access to several of the locations we have been to, via the country buttons below.
The ‘missing Stan’, Turkmenistan, we visited – briefly – in March 2026, which you can read about here, or click the country button below
There is also a Dutch-language article on the Pamir Highway.
As so often, there is a reading list, too.
