    Number two on your list is what interests me the most. I imagine it like driving through the Dakotas, but with spring and summer weather year round.

    . I'am single... I do have a visa.. I was there for 3 weeks .. but that was 4 years ago... I was on a farm that my friend & his wife manage when I was there... there are alot question I still have myself.. what little I learned about road trains is .. that have what they call stations .. which the only one I was at is nothing more that a small fuel stop with a limited repair shop and a place to with a dock to load and unload freight . and a couple of small homes pretty much just a wide spot in the road.. the only 2 road trains that were there the drivers just gave me general answers to basic questions ..we did alot of compairing... I'am not gona lie.. it would be foolish to think I was just gonna jump in 1 and drive... Desolate is a better description than secluded... Basically .. your on your own from what I got from the information they gave me both road trains were husband & wife and they looked alittle rough around the edges but they were informative to talk too...my take from our conversions was they didn't think it would be advisable to try doing that with out having alot of connections and have some experience with a road train
    I was in a huge valley where it was pretty and the weather was nice .. that would of been mid February
    And yes that country has it's issues also...

    It is pretty there, sadly also very few places to drive, and a communist state.

    In addition I would assume it’s too crowded.

    I lived there, and while it's technically a state, it really isn't America. We should give it back to the Hawaiians.

    Me drive a truck in the Philippines? I don't have a professional license, as they call it here, so the answer is no. Also, the trucks on the road here are often not up to USA standards of safety and maintenance, bald tires to the steel are a common sight here while waiting in traffic. Also, the daily wage here translates into about $6 0r $7 for most of the workers here, so it's just not worth it. There is also the language barrier, as I only speak English and the lower people in society here tend not to be conversive in it.

    Politics aside, I'd pick down under. I think one road in the outback somewhere is 90 miles of perfectly straight road. Better not be tired or that's a death sentence Lol.

    And the western provinces in Canada
