Once you leave Europe it's depressing how badly the world has fallen since the site started - routes via Syria are out, Sudan is a no-go area, Russia is closed to westerners, ferries across the Med to Israel and Egypt have vanished, So many long distance routes simply no longer doable.
- seabass-labrax 3y agoIn what way is Russia closed to westerners? Last I checked a few months ago, there were no restrictions on entry for British citizens like myself, although a land entry via one of the Baltic states would be necessary, and cash would be difficult to legally exchange.

- flemhans 3y agoYes or Belgrade. But I'd not recommend it. You can also just stay in Belgrade which has become mini-Russia
- multjoy 3y agoThe FCO advises against all travel to Russia, which means you're on your own if you get swept up in a wave of arbitrary detention and find yourself on a truck to the frontline in Ukraine.
- nerdbert 3y agoThere's all kinds of amazing new trains in Asia, there's ONCF's sparkling clean TGV from Tangier down to Casablanca, even in infrastructure-phobic USA there are some improvements and more on the horizon.
