TRANS-SIBERIAN RAILWAY on A Budget - Solo Journey on the 3rd Class Coach from Moscow to Irkutsk

The Trans Siberian (the longest train ride in the world) had been one of my top travel goals for a long time. However, most of the information that I found and most of the people that I talked to seemed to suggest that it was too complicated to do without a tour agent. But to book with an agent would also make it too expensive for me.
I was adamant that there must be a way around it. After some research, I proved myself right! In October 2018, I flew from Malaysia to Germany, then traveled to Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, before arriving in Russia to take the Trans-Siberian to the east.
This is the breakdown of my expenses on the 2-week trip:
Russian visa: MYR360
Invitation: MYR121
Chinese visa: MYR100
Travel insurance: MYR83
Bus (Vilnius - Riga): EUR9
(Riga - Tallinn): EUR9
(Tallinn - St. Petersburg - Moscow): EUR41
Flight (Kuala Lumpur - Berlin): MYR800
(Berlin - Vilnius): EUR17
(Irkutsk - Beijing): RUB6996
(Beijing - Kuala Lumpur): MYR400
Train (Moscow - Irkutsk): RUB3393
Local Transports: EUR33 + RUB482
Food: EUR4 + RUB1769
Accommodation: EUR15
In Latvia, I had to spend one night in prison. You can read about it on my blog:

And for those of you planning to go on the Trans Siberian, I highly recommend getting THE TRANS-SIBERIAN HANDBOOK. That's the single most useful resource I had before and during my train journey. You can check it out by clicking the link below:

Trans Siberian ialah sebuah perjalanan kereta api yang terpanjang di dunia dan telah menjadi impian saya sejak sekian lama. Namun, menurut kebanyakan orang, perjalanan kereta api Trans Siberian ini terlalu rumit untuk dilakukan sendiri tanpa bantuan agensi pelancongan. Masalahnya, jika menggunakan agensi, harganya pula menjadi terlalu mahal bagi saya.
Saya pasti ada cara lain. Setelah membuat carian di internet, ternyata jangkaan saya tepat. Pada bulan Oktober 2018, saya terbang dari Malaysia ke Jerman, kemudian ke Lithuania, Latvia, dan Estonia, sebelum tiba di Rusia untuk menaiki kereta api Trans-Siberian ke timur.
Berikut adalah jumlah perbelanjaan saya sepanjang keseluruhan perjalanan yang mengambil masa lebih kurang 2 minggu:
Visa Rusia: RM360
Surat jemputan ke Rusia: RM121
Visa China: RM100
Insurans perjalanan: RM83
Bas (Vilnius - Riga): EUR9
(Riga - Tallinn): EUR9
(Tallinn - St. Petersburg - Moscow): EUR41
Penerbangan (Kuala Lumpur - Berlin): RM800
(Berlin - Vilnius): EUR17
(Irkutsk - Beijing): RUB6996
(Beijing - Kuala Lumpur): MYR400
Tren (Moscow - Irkutsk): RUB3393
Lain-lain pengangkutan awam: EUR33 + RUB482
Makanan: EUR4 + RUB1769
Penginapan: EUR15
Di Latvia, saya telah bermalam di penjara! Baca cerita penuh di link ini:
