¡Hola From Glover’s Reef Atoll ;)

Hello my dear friends in New York, Moscow, Thailand (Taisia, miss you!) and my family in San Diego and Siberia!!! I am writing this letter from one of the most beautiful places on our planet. And I know I am saying that about every place I go to but what can I do if our mother Earth is so abundant with wonderful, gorgeous, breath-taking spots! Today I am writing from Glover’s Reef Atoll, one of the...

Phi Phi Islands: The Whole Andaman Sea Of Happiness

Imagine for a second that you were born in the middle of Siberia where winter temperatures can drop to -22 F and you spend many months surrounded by kilometers of snow, ice, and rocky mountains, very far away from everything you read about in the newspapers or watch on TV. That’s how I grew up in the city of Krasnoyarsk which is 4.5 hours flight East of Moscow and not very far from the Arctic...

The Big-Headed Ghost Cave in Southern Thailand: Someone Walked Here 3000 years ago!

BOOM!!!! Our tiny and femininely lightweight red canoe suddenly bumped into a stubborn stalagmite rising very masculinely under the water from the floor of Tham Phi Hua To, the Big-Headed Ghost Cave aka the Skull Cave in the Krabi province of Thailand. After maneuvering amateurishly – I’ve never held a paddle before – I looked around. The cave was dark, quite and gloomy. It didn’t...

Somewhere Between Montenegro and Albania: The Friendliest Goats and a Beautiful Surprise On Top Of a Very High Mountain

I am starting my story about Montenegro, a country that means a lot to me for many many reasons, a place I was dreaming to go to even before I met the one, a very special one, who took me there… First few days in Montenegro I spent in a tiny Southern town Vladimir which I loved even before arrival because in Russia we also have a beautiful city named Vladimir which once was one of the medieval...

Paragliding Over Pacific Ocean: What Was I Thinking???!!!

“What was i thinking????!!!!!” As I can recall now that was the only line going through my mind as I was running towards the steep end of the mountain with the evening skies above and the Pacific ocean many many feet down anticipating sun to dissolve in it. Thankfully the sun was the only thing to disappear in the dark waters that evening: me and my instructor Bob were caught by the wind and...

Guana, BVI: Love the Places Where Clothes Are Not Needed!

Approaching Guana aboard our Falcon 900EX I was almost certain I shared similar emotions with David Livingstone, Nicholay Miklouho-Maclay, Christopher Columbus and other explorers of unknown continents and countries. Of course, the entire 3.4 km2 (850 acres) of Guana have been explored by many, but not by me yet! Still the biggest desire I had ever since I saw aquamarine waters and powder-sand beaches...

Beautiful Sunset in Siberia in -22° F

This photograph was taken in Krasnoyarsk, my home town, and the third largest city in SIberia. It’s 4.5 hours flight East from Moscow and is worth visiting if you love beauty of wild, pure nature and aren’t afraid of extreme weather conditions of Russian winter!

Getting Ready to Dive Into the Adriatic Sea in Ulcinj, Montenegro…

Ulcinj is now one of my favorite places on Earth. I ate the best fresh figs there, walked through the centuries-old streets and swam in the most clear blue waters in a secluded laguna we found near the Aragosta restaurant. When you drive by Aragosta and come to the main parking area the quite laguna we found will be on your left hand side if you stand facing the sea. Just walk down the rocks and...
