Travelling on an overnight train from Tashkent in Uzbekistan to Dushanbe in Tajikistan. This was my longest solo train journey yet. Join me as I meet locals and continue my exploration of the Silk Road countries on these old Soviet rail networks.

ABOUT ME:
In 2013, I started my solo travel journey, leaving Indonesia in 2016 to become a full-time traveller and KZfaq creator. My background in International Relations has fueled a profound interest in exploring different countries. My content focuses on exploring different cultures through the lens of a solo female traveller, aiming to capture real-life interactions and experiences.
My travels kicked off with a five-month trip across Asia, after which I moved to China in January 2017 to work as an English teacher-my first time living abroad. I left China in 2018 to fully commit to creating videos on KZfaq, where I share my travels and the cultures I encounter.
Living nomadically since 2016, I settled in England in early 2022 after marrying my British husband, David. Now based in the UK, I continue to travel and share my adventures on KZfaq.

Very fascinating train ride, indeed. Your videos, experiences, and commentaries makes an interesting resource for Tourism and Travel Geography especially border crossing requirements, procedures, and language requirements. Any tourist intending to travel to central Asia can get a lot of tips from your vlogs. Central Asia is very large, beautiful, and with charming people as can be gleaned from this episode. Tourism is a good way to promote global cultural understanding and travelers and content creators/ vloggers like you and others just like your new Taiwanese friend are in the forefront. Again, thank you for bringing us to Central Asia. Keep on and keep safe!

I LOVE riding trains. When I lived in Europe, it was my preferred mode of transportation. I got to know so many fantastic and incredibly generous people! Sometimes it seemed that the poorer the people were, the more giving they were...of their belongings and their hearts. I'm getting bit old in the tooth, so I think my travels to Central Asia will have to be through you, but if I was just 20 years younger, you would probably meet me somewhere along the road. I am a wanderer at heart. I firmly personify the Tolkien quote: "Not all who wander are lost." As a matter of fact, I am in the beginning stages of planning to buy a trailer and become a "nomad" here in the western USA. I have traveled (and lived) all over the world, so I know what to expect and I CAN'T WAIT! If I were to choose places to go in Central Asia, the more local, the better. I would avoid the metropolitan centers and concentrate on places that hark back to the "-Stans" of old and the Silk Road. That would be a dream trip. Enjoy your travels. I'm a bit envious.

@SyifaAdriana 8 ай бұрын

Thank you so much, Robert! So lovely to read your comment. Good luck in your nomad journey! Share more of your journey and would love to read what you'll learn along the way. There's a fantastic Facebook Group called "Overland to Asia": facebook.com/groups/510330665669757/ if you even want to research on driving along the Stans with your future trailer. Best wishes 😊

That episode of Central Asia is the most funny one I've watched, I love every footage that you had took and the train conductors looked so friendly and respectful, unlike some people which I think you know whom am I talking about. The immigration officers not as much, I get that they are checking everywhere including your items because to be sure that nothing suspicious is inside, but checking your phone to me that is not just invasive, but also disrespectful because like you said it's personal stuff. I will feel weird if that happens to me if I travel to Central Asia. But overall, I love this video and I hope that you upload more videos in Tajikistan.

@SyifaAdriana 8 ай бұрын

Hahaha thanks a lot, Emanuel. So glad to know that you found this video to be funny. The Tajik staff were indeed quite comical so it helps me to get through the 18 hour journey. I agree with you, checking through my bags would be fine but checking my phone twice going through my photos was very disrespectful. When such a thing happen, I would always try to remain calm, not to make a scence but won't allow any officer to bully me. Thanks for watching!

@stephengardiner5410 8 ай бұрын

I was wondering whether the border guards were looking at the phones to find an "issue" so that they could issue some kind of fine - a way to boost their no-doubt small salaries? I thought the train personel were going to be an issue for you, but they seemed genuinely friendly. Great video!

@SyifaAdriana 8 ай бұрын

Yes, I was wondering that too! This phone check was supposedly an old Soviet practice that would no longer happen if you enter or leave Uzbekistan from Tashkent airport. The Tajik staff was indeed lovely and they remind me of the Iranian as they are both Persian. Thanks a lot for watching!
