The End of the Road Trip: Visa Denied, Goodbye Car, and Return to Sweden SE2E48

In this travel vlog, I share the emotional moments of saying goodbye to my car after months on the road. My final attempt to secure a Chinese visa in Bishkek failed, leaving me with no choice but to return. I crossed into Uzbekistan, spent time in Tashkent, and then flew through Istanbul back to Gothenburg, Sweden.

Along the way, I reflect on the journey, the difficulties of visas in Central Asia, and the strange feeling of seeing all the roads I had once driven now from an airplane window. A must-watch for anyone curious about overland travel and the challenges of long-term road trips.
