10 years of travel

Travel notes and stories

Ten years of my life have been marked by a lot of travel. This is a very important period to me, because no matter how much you want to be at home and enjoy it, the world around is huge. In other countries, everyone will inevitably find something new and unexpected for themselves.

Except in rare cases, in my travel notes you will not find political or religious comments. I was not interested in them at all, because my goal was only to enjoy the lifestyle of people of other cultures and traditions for a while.

Notes for each country often start with the most recognizable characters. Even if everyone has seen them many times, I still tried to visit them anyway. Greece and the United Kingdom play a special role for me. I visited them five and six times respectively. It should come as no surprise that they have the largest collections of photos and stories. Although I still hope that the stories will be no less interesting for other countries as well.

Select a country In the list for a story about it! In addition below on this page I have collected pictures related to the process of traveling by itself. These are mostly pictures of airports, flight attendants, planes, and hotels.

However, remember that it's best of all to be at home! The Tomsk University, to which I have been related for more than 20 years, is just across the street from the building where I was born.

Cabin crew

Any trip begins from the moment when the flight attendants meet you onboard the plane. Among other things, flight attendants are largely responsible for representing the national culture of their country. On these pictures, you can see me standing with the flight attendants from five countries: Russia, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, China and the United States.

Airports

Two of my favourite airports are Heathrow in London and Sheremetyevo in Moscow. For me, they are associated with a certain level of comfort and the ability to maintain a working attitude even in a state of extreme bustle. I know that not all people share my point of view. Of course, I have politely considered their opinion, but stay with my own. And I read the opinion of the Skytracks airport rating only for a bit of a fan in my life.
