So it is, more than half of your routes were passed alone. Why such a choice and what is still preferable for you now, having gone a lot of kilometers: loneliness or still want to travel in the company?

It’s better to go alone - this is definitely, then you go to your desires and capabilities. Gonchar from Iran with Andrei. What served as a motive for your first motorcycle passage? How was the love of motorcycles generally born? At 25 years old I bought a Minsk motorcycle, drove through the forests and fields. In accident, I saw Honda Shadow into an ad, and immediately love at first sight.

He rolled a couple of times in Odessa and on other traces, I realized that I wanted to continue, but, like many, I mistakenly believed that I needed a company that I did not find for Dalnyak. Until my friend Ilya decided to buy a motorcycle. I offered him to buy Honda Varadero and go to the Caucasus for a month. Honda Shadow. Honda Varadero. Tell me how you plan a trip: how do you come up with a direction, build routes, how in detail you calculate the timing, places of the night, stops, inspection of attractions?

How long does it take to come up with and think through one journey? I try to make the route as detailed as possible, how much patience is enough. I am looking for attractions just for search queries. But first, I determine the general direction and make up the preliminary route, then I look where to call, where is more beautiful. The main thing is beautiful nature, the cities are already tired, tourist attractions are also, but sometimes they are needed for contrast.

I try to avoid highways, I choose more secondary roads. I determine the nights of the night at once - I am looking for two places for a tent and in the Buking of two cheap hotels in Google cards. I do not plan stops and gas stations. Moreover, for you it is a hobby, not the main activity. For many, this is a big problem - to leave for so long. How do you solve this issue?

Do you have a loyal guide or are you building your work schedule yourself? And how does the family accept your absence and risk? Wife and mother say that they would like me to go anywhere, but they understand that I can’t do otherwise. Does he have plans to follow in the footsteps of his father in terms of travel? There was no conversation about traveling. There were unpleasant moments, in Ukraine on the Odessa highway they tried to dilute money with a hollow wallet, but understood in time and left before they managed to find where the ignition keys, which Honda Saedow had under his foot.

Somewhere on the way to Sochi they spent the night in the field, the locals arrived, the conversation began with the words of uh who was here, but since my childhood I heard such words on the street, the conversation quickly passed into the channel - my boys, we will not interfere with you. The campaign there was hemp plantations there among the grain. With nature, I think, the most terrible road is a pass to the village of Omalo.

And with animals - the first meeting with jackals in Armenia, it was sleeping badly, not only did they get all night, tried to go into the tent a couple of times, but then I got used to it and even waited for the meeting, because they were in Iran, Turkey, and in the Balkans. Gobi desert, Mongolia. Cappadocia, Türkiye. Pamir tract. How much does this thought have the chances of embodiment in reality, are there such plans?

If a similar chance turns up, I will try myself in yachting, but so far there are no plans. Will you share the plans? We will definitely follow your new travels. From your videos there is a real positive, I am sure that they inspired many to hit the road.
