Tim Cope underwent a three year journey traversing the entire Eurasian steppe, starting in Karakorum, the old Mongolian capital, westwards through Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Russia, Ukraine and finally Hungary until he reached the Danube river.

The journey took him three years to complete and 4 horses. He picked up a dog along the way, and his journey saw him robbed, threatened, lonely, overwhelmed, welcomed, turned away and exposed to murderous heat and cold.

I first wrote to Tim 4 years ago… we’ve maintained a very spotty correspondence in anticipation for this podcast today.

Tim Cope is is an Australian adventurer, author, filmmaker, photographer, expedition guide – a fluent Russian speaker – a bloody good writer and someone generous enough to offer me his time and invite me into his home in rural Victoria.

This was recorded in person in May, 2025.
