We’re still on the Pamir Highway (it is 1200km long after all!) and while we didn’t drive yesterday (admin and work day for us as I spent all day building a new website for print sales of my photography… more on that when it launches… and doing some admin around the truck - like cleaning the solar panels!) But the day before was stunning. And hard. We spent all day driving right alongside the Afghanistan border. I don’t think we got more than 500m away from it at any point along about 190km. We even waved to Afghanistanis and they waved back across the river! There will be pictures, but nothing from the drone… for obvious reasons!! Also, we’re starting to get a bit more involved in this world and have updated our lightning address to something more meaningful: globaltraces@rizful.com (for anyone that feels the urge to zap!) Using @Rizful.com 👊 #photography #pamirhighway #overlandlife image

How long did it take you to plan this? I’m sure this is far more invloved than my drive across two states, tomorrow.
Plan? You think we have a plan?! 🤣 There was some planning - truck build etc - and a vague idea of where to go, but really we make it up as we go. Originally on this trip we were only going as far as Georgia and then turning around… but here we are in Tajikistan now 🤷‍♂️
So inspiring! Makes me wanna hit the road again (to bike around again). Been building some sovereign e-commerce solutions and would love to hear some of your pain points while building your site, if any. Keep inspiring!
Get back on the road! It’s the best life! Building my site so far has been more about pulling together the assets to populate. Will def let you know any pain points as I progress.
