Literature
Getting prepared for such a large journey takes a lot of investigation: reading, watching, learning, more reading, more learning, more finding out governmental-stuff. But also finding out a rough route: what Highlights do we want or have to see? What are the landmarks, World Heritage Sites we have to see and the activities we want to do?
Most of this information can be found in books, guides, by watching television or surf on the interwebz. On this page, you will find all off our information-sources: from books to guides to movies or television-series.
If you feel something is missing or something is overrated, please do let us know!

Insurance
We will be needing some extra or replacement insurances for our trip. Normal insurances will only cover most of Europe and only for a limited amount of time abroad.
Motorbike insurance
Offices such as Alessie will be able to provide us with insurance policies during our trip.
Health insurance
The website of Expatverzekeringen has a nice overview of some insurances that will cover trips like these.
