My friend Sean Jordan is riding his Vespa around the world. He began his journey in Belgrade in July and is currently in Yerevan, Armenia. He’s crossing into Iran (with papers in order) on the 14th. He’s documenting his trip here.

What I like most about this video, shot as he neared Sochi, is seeing the rural Russian equivalent of road trip life: the signs (in Cyrillic!), the lane markings, the trucks, and the roadside gas stations.
