On paper, everything is simple. The blue line easily crosses oceans and borders. We'll see what happens in real life.
I will get more into detail about each region and country as the days go by, but for now here is an overview of what I think my projected route will be, starting in New York City and heading west.
Yeah... I have not exactly worked out my entry point from China to Russia yet, but after the Ice Festival in Harbin (China) I can either go further east to Vladivostok or northwest to connect to the Trans-Siberian Railway from there...
The fun part is that the whole trip in Russia should take place in January. Perfect time to see Siberia if you ask me!

The Route So Far
The only knowns right now are that I will take an Amtrak train from New York City to Seattle, hop across our northern border and jump aboard the Hanjin Madrid cargo ship departing Vancouver and arriving in Hong Kong, via South Korea, about two weeks later. After that, I will have to make my way (continuing over land and sea by any means possible) through southeast Asia, China, Russia, eastern Europe, northern then eastern then southern Africa, find another cargo ship to bring me from South Africa to Brazil, and then come north back to New York.
Is that stretch across Russia all train?
