Matador Travel Equipment

Video Description
This is everything that happened in just 72 hours.
China is the 40th country of our world tour. You’d think that by now we’d be pretty comfortable arriving in a new place and quickly figuring out how to get around. But China is on a whole different level.
Barely anyone speaks English. Forget Google, Google Maps, WhatsApp, YouTube, Facebook — all of your usual sources of information are blocked. Finding campspots, getting water, or even basic navigation works completely differently here. Can we even wild camp?
Three days. A lot of learning.
