Snowden began his journey in Hong Kong where he hid out in a hotel for a few weeks, before making his way to Moscow accompanied by a Wikileaks lawyer. He is then supposed to have found his way to Havana with his final destination set to be Ecuador where he is seeking asylum — but he never boarded the plane to Cuba.
