It was very interesting to read your article on Alicante Bus Station. I wish I had read it prior to having my flight bag stolen on the 15th November 2008. Again the Police were uniterested & failed to help. We had to report the theft at Alicante Airport because our passports were in the bag & we needed to board a flight. The Police would only file that our passports were lost & not stolen & would not report the theft of money, mobile phone, radio, digital camera, prescription glasses etc.Keep writing the blog & if you can give advise on how to protect your valuables, that would be great!!

Good luck

Hello Derek,

Thanks for sharing your experiences. When more and more people start to do the same, that might fix the situation.

We are actually working with a generic travel guide that focuses also on these issues.

Happy travels,

Trans-Siberian Railway, Russia

Image
Travelling the trans-siberian railway all the way from St. Petersburg to Vladivostok, Russia. And visiting Voguls on the way. We started our Trans-Siberian railway ride from Kuokkaniemi, a small village situated near Sortavala and Finnish border in Karelia. The trip ended in Vladivostok near Japan and Korea totaling well over 10.000 kilometres. It would have been possible to do the trip in about eleven days, but we wanted to stop every once in a while and look around. We bought our tickets one by one, just to the next destination, and got this way a lot of experience of Russian bureaucracy, despotism of the police (militsiya), and the lack of any kind of logic in Russia. We knew right away that our Experiment would at least be challenging. In Santeri’s words: Russia should be avoided at any cost.

Finn-Savotta Challenge: The Conclusion

Image
We have been travelling more than five years with our new Finn-Savotta backpacks, Savotta LJK12 and Savotta 906, in dozens of countries all over the world . The backpacks are still in one piece and in usable condition. There are some scratches and bumps in the aluminium structure and the fabric has worn out a bit here and there but nothing major. On the other hand, there were some minor usability challenges.

42 Years On The Road: Island Hopping In Polynesia

Image
Island hopping in Polynesia was a dream-come-true for us. We had been planning it since 2021 , but the timing was never right for travelling two months on the high seas without Internet and phone . Now we were able to do it and it was sheer luxury! Polynesian Islands are known for beaches and popular destinations for snorkeling and watching marine life. We covered some parts of Hawaii, Samoa, Fiji, Tonga and French Polynesia as well as Cook Islands, Niue and Kiribati.
