SAINT PETERSBURG, 2 September 2020
TO SHAOLIN BY MOTORCYCLE
Documented solo journey to the Celestial Empire. The new most spontaneous action in my life. Stories about adventures, joys and difficulties once a week on YouTube and Instagram don't miss the beginning.
Background
What it was like on the plane
In 2015, I quit my office job and went to Shaolin. In 2019, a video was released on YouTube interview with my participation, which in one week gained more than 2 million views, and over the past year already more than 9 million views.
Travel is a path
The Way Around Asia
In the old places
Ride a motorcycle to Shaolin. Get to a kung fu show, show the place where I pitched a tent and lived for the first two weeks. Show how the city has changed over the past few years.
I learn something new
Since 2019 I have been studying for a Master's degree in Beijing, studying Chinese philosophy, since 2015 I have been studying martial arts and body practices, over five years I have accumulated topics for conversation.
I'm planning a route
From St. Petersburg to the east, passing Lake Baikal. Ulaanbaatar to the border with China. From Beijing through Guoliang to the Shaolin Monastery. Heading west to Xinjiang, Kazakhstan — back to Russia through cities.
How will I move?
"Once a spring has broken through, it can flow anywhere; if a road is laid, you can travel along it to any land."
Current Geolocation
Upon arrival at the point, I throw the geotag in Telegram channel, as well as information about meetings. (click on the title) or
The Road Will Be Mastered by the Walker
Despite the challenges along the way, crossing borders during a pandemic, I don't call it challenges, I think of it as a "path." A path is characterized by the absence of rigid plans at intermediate points.
I'm talking about that
What interests me
Everyone has their own growth benchmarks, their own goals, in achieving which they feel development. I am similar to you in that Shaolin was a dream that inspires.
