Covid-19

Please check the current Covid-19 regulations for the relevant countries.

Visa

A large number of counties require a valid visa to visit. To apply, contact the embassy of relevant country. Please remember that visa applications can take weeks. APPLY IN TIME!

It is your sole responsibility to obtain a relevant visa for the country/countries you want to visit! Without it, you will be denied entry to the country!

Vaccinations

It is strongly recommended that you consult your doctor about the need for vaccinations for the country/countries you wish to visit.

It is recommended to get your vaccinations at least a couple of weeks before the trip.

Practical advice

  • Generally it is recommended, that your passport is valid a year from departure.
  • Notify your family and friends of when and where you are going to travel, and how to contact you.
  • It is recommended to buy cancellation insurance and – if possible – a destination change option when buying your airline ticket.
  • Generally, bringing fancy/expensive clothing, jewelry, watches and similar is not recommended. Part of the trip will take place in poor rural areas, and unwanted attention and envy can cause problems with the locals.

General rules

  • ALWAYS be respectful of the culture you’re in, and follow local laws and customs!
  • No alcohol or other intoxicants is allowed while driving.
  • I expect that we all work together as a team.
