Dear Momi,

Is your job portable? Or can you take an extended leave?

Here's what you should do:

Sign up for a teaching job in China that gives a visa of six months or more, spend a few months teaching Italian or some other skill that you have, get your license and and a properly plated bike, learn a bunch of Chinese language, meet a bunch of friendly Chinese people, fall in love with a beautiful Chinese girl, eat, drink and be merry (married?), ride with or without pillion to your heart's content.

Then, when love turns sour, pack your panniers and head for Tadjikistan.

Cheers!
