Georgia is a pretty interesting country. Their national symbol is a beautiful woman who holds a glass of wine in one hand and a sword in the other. It symbolizes: We welcome you with open arms if you are a friend, but if you are an enemy, beware. Tip really enjoyed the first Thai restaurant we came across in many miles.

It was still very cold when we entered Armenia, but at least the roads were clear due to our one-week wait in Iran.

We spend 7 weeks with our motorhome in Iran. It was and still is my favorite country to travel. People and extremely friendly, the scenery is amazing and it is filled with culture and history. It is also incredibly cheap for us "western worlders" as US dollars are worth triple their official value and everything was already cheap. Fuel, diesel or gasoline, is literally cheaper than water at 5 (...

After the chaos of India it was nice to be in a country where they respect your private space and where everyone is friendly and helpful without wanting something in return. We had a dragging brake, which was fixed for free and we had a oil-smell if we climbed very steep.. which was solved after a full day of work at the Isuzu factory in Karachi... for free. Nothing but good experiences even if...

In 2020 the covid pandemic struck the world.

India is the second country in our journey from Thailand to the Netherlands. Entering India from Myanmar is not easy as the Indian border guards don't see much (or any) traffic other than locals. But, after a few hours of explaining why we were there in the first place, they filled out the necessary papers (I had to teach them) and welcomed us into India. India is busy and hectic... see for you...

    Martin. This is a question about your house you built in Thailand. What is the load capacity box you have? Is it single phase 30/100? I am building in Hua Hin right now. Just wondering what you have and what appliances etc you are running in the house. I know somewhere I saw you converted to solar but curious what your maximum amps would pull if everything was running at the same time.

    • @Living-off-grid
      @Living-off-grid หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi Rob. We are off-grid. So we don't have any connection to the electricity grid. Our power suply is 5.5 Kw single fase. When everything in the house would be on at the same time it would draw (an estimate) some 5 Kw. But this would never happen as the AC's in the bedrooms would never be on during the day and the boiler is only on at noon. I hope this helps.

      If you insist on writing a nasty comment, then at least get your facts right. The design is called "Cape Cod" and it originated in the 1950's in the USA. It was lightly based on the "Dutch colonial" style. And, while we are at the subject: Why is it ridiculous ? Most modern Thai houses are based on older European designs... or do you prefer a wooden shack on poles?

    The sad part is most tourists go straight to Taj Mahal in Agra which is one super congested city as its also one of the oldest... most tourist traps happen there and fact that you are white does not help. Should seek help from some Indian travel vloggers... you missed amazing parts of India like Ladakh (worlds highest desert) with highest motorable mountain passes, North east India, you missed Goa (beaches), you missed South India which is the real gem. And there are thousands of temples more beautiful and full of history than Taj Mahal itself. Hope you come back for a leisurely visit.

      In 2002 I visited India for 3 months (on my motorcycle) and really enjoyed it. (Including Goa) This time they refused to give me more than 1 month and we had to cross from east to west, so time was limited. By the way, the Kardung la is no where near the highest road in the world. The Uturungu road in South Bolivia goes to 5880 meter. I rode that on my motorcycle as well (several times). :-)
