We can’t see the finish line, but we know it’s there.
Stories from our journey driving an ambulance from Madrid, Spain to Ulan Bator, Mongolia
About
Calling themselves “The Improbables” the three person team composed of an Indian, a French-Italian, and a Portuguese was pretty improbable to begin with. Adding to this, was the objective of reaching Mongolia in 20 days, departing from Madrid, meeting along the way different obstacles both foreseen and unknown.
The 14,000 km journey to Mongolia’s capital Ulaanbaatar started on June 9th after raising thousands of pounds for charity with the goal of donating our vehicle to the GO HELP charity in Ulaanbaatar. Surely, they hit challenges along the way, change of plans, immigration but never the less, the team got to Ulaanbaatar, a few days late!
The land of the Khan, Genghis Khan!
Defining Moment
Due to unforseen circumstances at the Russian border, we were unfortunately not allowed to enter Russia without paying a hefty amount. With a single entry visa for Ukraine, Dhruv could not return back to Ukraine and instead had to continue his journey into Russia with no rubles in the middle of the night and then to Ulaanbaatar by train. But, hey this where the adventure began for Dhruv 😉 Esty and Jonathan returned back to Hungary and donated the ambulance to a charity in Budapest Instead and continued their adventure to Ulaanbaatar by flight.
