Trans-Siberian Madrid - Moscow - Beijing (November/December 2005).

After my two previous experiences to the countries of the East, and specifically my return from the second of the trip described here, had in mind to visit Moscow, although I don't still raised Siberian... let do it alone. Personally approved travel around Europe independently, but out of its borders was another story. On the other hand knew that if I went to Russia, could not afford to miss those trains from the station symbolic Yaroslavskaya eastbound put... there and had to go with them. The decision was made.

The thought of it alone raised many doubts I had fear, tension inside... but also a motivation unprecedented plunge and had to be decided now or never. The dream of my childhood began to take shape in the spring of 2005. I started to collect information, slowly but surely. This trip gave me the opportunity to learn something new, so I decided to give some Russian language classes for 6 months, at least not lost in its Cyrillic alphabet and the basics of their expressions. The preparation of visas, accommodation, telephone calls, unexpected... all form part of this extraordinary adventure.

I invite you to become a part of this great journey through my story and some photos that I selected... is time to catch the Trans-Siberian.
