The NSA has to be given advance notice of international travel. There's no way they are going to grant him going on a vacation to Moscow.

Instead, he claimed Hong Kong had a treatment available for his epilepsy, which he used as cover to get NSA approval there. From there he knew he could buy time to figure out a full plan to get to his final destination, Iceland.

It looks like Venezuela may be another interim country before he gets there.

Oh, that is the first I've heard of that. He never mentioned it in his Q&A.
