You’re going off to look for Stan the Kurd, aren’t you?

When are you leaving?

I have a friend who took just such a trip, using GPS to send data into a database that then plotted his route on a map for all to see. I’m sure he’d be happy to talk to you about his experiences, if you want.

You seem to already be thinking about this, but if you are going to all of the trouble to document this so well, you should clearly be thinking about the marketing aspects of what this trip is all about — finding some kind of theme that can draw people in to the story.

Does this mean you aren’t going to finish your degree(s)?

Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan. If you hit the highlights of Central Asia I will be soooooo jealous.

I’m debating if I should start the trip before the next academic year starts or after. If I wait a bit longer, I’ll have more time to plan and I’ll have the degree finished. I only need one more year to get it done.
