Here are my thoughts: (bolded are good search terms)
Had high hopes for Tel-Aviv...but they were NOT there via the prime flight yesterday.
Varsha has suggested
Luhacovice Cz as a possible next location.
TravelJunkie pulled some info for me. They could go by train, requiring change/connections in about 4.5 hours. Self drive and /or bus also possible.
This might be mildly off grid.
Africa? Had some hopes for
Cape Town but doubting this now.
Istanbul? Very good jumping off place for Africa/onwards. But politically not sure.
Depending on the above, somewhere in India ...mostly for the BIG jump.
Mumbai the top choice here.
And then...I have the MOST hope for
NEPAL this time. Some "my want", some more factual. Entry via
KathmanduAfter that, have serious hopes for Aus and/or Nz on the homeward journey.
Some of this is spec, some wishlist, some tips. So big grains of salt.
If they go places where Instagram/Snapchat/Twitter less likely, the search gets tougher.
And when the search gets tougher? RFF gets going!!
All eyes looking today please? Y'all are the BEST!
