Self-Driving Around The World, One Person And One Car Traveling Through 83 Countries!

Compared with Africa, America is actually not bad, but you need to contact a shipping company for sea transportation.

Along the way, he needed to take a boat a lot of times, because there were many areas without land, and he needed to take a boat to carry him through the east wind.

Accompanying his journey around the world, there is one most crucial thing.

That is a visa.

Generally, visas in Asia are basically visa-on-arrival and electronic visa.

With a visa on arrival, you can apply for a visa to enter directly at the border.

The electronic visa can be applied directly online.

There are also some countries that do not require a visa and are directly visa-free.

These three are relatively simple and quick to handle.

However, some countries need to go to the embassy to submit materials for visa, or entrust an agency to submit materials. Different countries require different materials.

For European Schengen visas, you need to submit materials to the foreign embassy.

After applying for a Schengen visa, you can travel to many countries in Europe.

Before departure this time, Qin Feng applied for three visas in advance.

One is the Russian visa, the second is the Iranian visa, and the third is the Schengen visa.

For other things, you can just do it when you are on the road, or apply online.

When traveling through Africa, you generally need to apply for a visa at the consulate of the next country every time you arrive.

Generally, neighboring countries have embassies in each other.

Another issue is the driver's license.

After traveling abroad, a single Dragon Country driver's license will naturally lose its effectiveness.

He needs a translated copy of his driver's license, a notarized copy of the translation, and a driver's license from Long Country before he can drive on the road.

A translation of your driver's license can be applied for on the online platform.

As for the notarized translation, you need to go to the notary office to get it.

Regarding traffic rules, in fact, every country in the world is similar.

But foreign countries attach great importance to giving way.

For example, when turning, give way to the straight line, auxiliary roads give way to the main road, and the outside of the circle gives way to the inside of the circle.

One thing you should pay special attention to is that you need to stop when giving way.

And the most important thing is to be courteous to pedestrians.

In fact, whether you are driving domestically or abroad, you need to give way to pedestrians.

But foreign countries attach great importance to this.

Failure to yield to pedestrians will result in severe penalties.

Also, domestic cars drive on the right and the steering wheel is left-hand drive.

But there are many countries that drive on the left.

This caused certain difficulties for his driving.

He needs to remember that when overtaking, he has to stick his head out cautiously and slowly, and make sure it is safe before overtaking.

Other than that, it’s just a small left turn and a big right turn.

As for how to exchange money, UnionPay in Longguo is actually very powerful now.

There are ATMs in many countries that support UnionPay card withdrawals.

Where UnionPay is not available, you can use VISA card to withdraw money.

As for communication, every time he goes to a country, he can take his passport and go to the local operator to apply for a phone card.

The cost of adding a data plan ranges from a few yuan to several hundred yuan.

However, in most countries, a few dozen yuan is enough for a phone card.

As for the language issue, in fact, the penetration rate of English in various countries around the world is quite high.

Those who frequently interact with foreigners abroad, such as customs and hotel canteen staff, basically speak some English.

There are also former British colonies, which generally speak English.

Countries such as India and Pakistan.

In fact, half of Africa used to be a British colony.

English is the official language in half of Africa.

As a college student, Qin Feng thinks that he is still good at English.

At least it’s okay to communicate with people.

There are also places where English is really not useful, so he can also use a translation app to communicate.

Today's translation software is quite good. Basically, just speak to the translation software and it can be translated into languages ​​​​from all over the world.

However, the disadvantage is that sometimes the translation is not accurate enough and it relies on the Internet.

If even translation software cannot be used, he will use body language or pictures to communicate.

For example, if you want to buy eggs, show the person a picture of eggs.

You can also rub your fingers together and ask about the price of the product.

This gesture is universal.

11pm.

Just when Qin Feng looked at everything he had prepared in his notebook, he felt that he was ready for this trip and that he was ready to set off just after the graduation ceremony in two days.

A piece of bad news came.

His French visa was refused.

That is his Schengen visa, which is an important document for him to travel through European countries.

I looked at this email that popped up on my computer late at night.

Qin Feng is somewhat numb.

The reason why his visa was rejected was that the visa officer did not believe that he could drive from Long Country to France!

French visa is related to the success or failure of this trip.

Europe is the only way for him to reach Africa.

There are two opportunities to apply for a French visa.

When he applied for the first time, he just submitted the materials online and did not meet the visa officer in person.

Seeing that his first application was rejected, Qin Feng sat in front of the computer, took a deep breath, and immediately made a decision.

Buy a ticket overnight and head to the imperial capital!

Apply for a visa in person at the French Embassy!

In fact, people who have been rejected before apply again will have a lower chance of being approved.

But even if there is only 0.1% hope, Qin Feng will try.

He wants to fully demonstrate his great ambition to the visa officer!

His trip this time is to prove to the world that people from the Dragon Country and cars from the Dragon Country can travel around the world!
