Why Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan?
Since we started planning this trip, we had often been afraid of what we were in for.
After all, we were going to travel along the M-41, sometimes referred to as “Heroin Highway”.
The fact that so little is known about these lands sure didn’t help us feel safer.
However, when the day finally arrived, we suddenly felt overwhelmed by the kindness of the people and the unspoiled nature of these countries.
Very quickly our worries vanished and we were feeling at ease.
I find it curious and sad at the same time, to think how prejudices and lack of knowledge can make people feel scared.
Many times we were asked: “why Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan?”
It was hard to give an answer.
Truth is, we still don’t have one. But we are sure it was worth it.
Thanks to the Exped Tribe members with whom I shared this trip with Davide Mari, Davide Guzzardi, and Marco Ghelfi.
Thanks to Federico Cerati for creating the music for this video.
