'Where is Central Asia?' I hear you say. It's a good question and before a friend sent me a link to 'Morning views from the tent' by Oleg Grigoryev, featuring a photograph of the Fann Mountains in Tajikistan (pictured above), I had never heard of it. Central Asia (also known as the Stans) incorporates Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan. And it is where my friend Claire and I will be venturing over the next three months (except Turkmenistan, because you are required to be accompanied by a guide the whole time, and that's not our style).
'Why write a blog?' you ask. Another good question. Is it because I have an over-inflated sense of ego? Yes. But more importantly it appears Central Asia is one of those 'less travelled' destinations and finding up-to-date information can been difficult. So, I thought I'd help a human out by blogging the facts, fun times and fascinating points for those intrepid travellers out there. Enjoy!
