Self-driving Group Tour Crossing China from Mongolia to Laos 10.10 - 02.11.2016

From 10.10.2016, there are 20 valuable guests (4 cute children among them) with 8 vehicles traveling crossing China from Mongolia to Laos. Welcome more travelers joining in us! Everyone is looking forward to this special self-driving travel group crossing China, and they hope to meet new friends from different countries and different places. Today we’re very glad to receive following email from Felice and Luke:
Happy to have another car in the group! We're visiting family right now but will pay our part of the deposit in a couple of days.
Matthieu and family, thanks for the nice info! We'll definitely want to ask you questions about driving in Southeast Asia, as we will be driving around there after as well, and we are a bit confused about visa and license requirements!
I know I've given our "introduction" to some of you, but I think maybe not everyone! So here it is - Luke is Australian (36) and I'm American and Australian (30). We're in the US now, travelling to London (via Iceland!) on 2 May. We'll be driving through Europe, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and then Mongolia to meet you lovely people! After that we will hang out around Southeast Asia for a few months, visit family in Australia, and then back to the US.
Happy travels to everyone!
