I'm going to blog while traveling (I think)

I'm going on a solo backpacking trip through Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan from June 8th to July 10th. I know a bit about the history and culture of the region, but don't know a lick of Russian or any of the local languages and that should make the trip a lot of fun.

This blog is so you can keep track of my adventures, since you shouldn't expect me to be calling or emailing anytime during the trip.

Anyway, please LEAVE COMMENTS and maybe we can use that as a way to communicate. Most likely I won't have daily access to a computer or the Internet, so there may be days between posts.

Here we go. Let's hope this works.
