I started this blog to write about my 2013 trip on the Trans-Mongolian Express. Its first expansion was to include my June 2012 trip to Malta. The momentum from that carried forward to ultimately encompass most of the trips I’ve taken subsequent to 2013. And there have been quite a few.

The trip that started it all, taken in May and June of 2013 began in the Washington, D C metro area, moved to Beijing through Frankfurt via airplane and then across China, Mongolia, and Russia by a train that took me as far as Saint Petersburg before finishing back in D C by airplane again passing through Frankfurt.
