Chronicles of the parasangs we travel.

A parasang is an ancient Persian measure of the distance a person walks in an hour. A unit as imprecise as journeying across half the world on land. The Greeks argued for centuries how long a parasang was, and everyone was correct. On an open plain it's one thing; over a mountain pass in bad weather another. A parasang is a unit, of sorts, and what makes our journey precious — it's not about kilometres covered but hours spent moving, and what the ground does to them.

Parasang Chronicles is the travel blog of Janine and Alex, who are travelling from Switzerland to Vietnam, by land only. Walking, Hitchhiking, Trainspotting, a Donkey… The method is the journey.

To record our journey to the East like an ancient circumnavigating ship's chronicler, we use Field Studio, a private capture tool for notes, photos, review status, and eventual publishing.
