A 7-day trip to Spain.
The beginning of winter in the Moscow region is not the best time of the year, especially when the real winter has not come yet and instead of it you see a mess of mud and snow in the streets. There is a lack of sunshine: when you leave home in the morning, it's still dark and when you look out the window after lunch, it's already sunset.Read more
A motorbike trip across Mongolia
Our journey to Mongolia had brought about adventures since the very beginning. Irkutsk did not want us to leave. At first we forgot to take one thing, then another occasion took place, then the air suspension on the trailer failed.Read more
A motorbike trip "Across the Caspian Sea — to the Pamir Mountains!" Part 4. The Pamir Mountains → Kyrgyzstan → Kazakhstan
The journey to the Pamir Mountains. I thought there was nothing left in the world that might surprise me, but I was wrong again! 170 km out of a 300 km distance from Dushanbe to Kalai-Khumba turned out to be such a charge of drive!Read more
A motorbike trip "Across the Caspian Sea — to the Pamir Mountains!" Part 3. Tajikistan-Kazakhstan-Uzbekistan
We didn't have a chance to get acquainted with Baku closely. The first impression it made was a beautiful, modern, up-and-coming city with skyscrapers made of glass and concrete like Moscow City, fountains and luxury hotels. There is definitely something to see and have a good time.Read more

One of the stages of our motorbike journey came to an end yesterday. And that was a trip to Iran.

However, I will try to describe my impressions as post-factum.Read more

Kyrgyzstan 2017
The Aeroflot plane landed at the airport of Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan, at 5 a.m. And two hours later we were already squeezing through traffic jams along the narrow streets of the city by two motorbikes, which we rented from a local motorbiker Vadim.Read more
Across six countries in eight days. Russia → Belarus → Poland → Slovakia → Hungary → Ukraine. A motorbike trip.
Well, I wish we hadn't left Moscow in this weather. The further from the capital we went along the M1 highway, the lower the temperature became. As soon as we reached Minsk, the dashboard showed a pitiful figure +8°CRead more
A motorbike trip to Lake Baikal.
Нормальные люди зимой в отпуск улетают к теплому морю. На Мальдивы какие-нибудь или Канары. Ну, можно еще в горы забраться, чтобы, съехав на лыжах по ослепительно белому склону, остановиться у небольшого ресторанчика, заказать пару ароматных баварских колбасок и, неспешно потягивая через трубочку горячий глинтвейн, улыбнуться и произнести про себя — «Эх, как хорошо-то, а?Read more
