The background
How it was by the plane
In 2015 I quitted an office job and took my way to Shaolin Temple. In 2019 a YouTube video with my interviewabout life in Shaolin hit more than 2 million views in one week, and the last year it got over 6 million views.
Travel is the way
Way around Asia
Through the old places
Early in the morning I’ll stop by the main gate of Shaolin Temple. I’m gonna get on the kung fu show, show the place where I camped out and lived for the first two weeks. I’ll show you how Dengfeng has changed in the last years.
I’m learning
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 bodily practices, in five years I have accumulated topics for conversation.
I’m creating
From St. Petersburg to the east, with a stop at Baikal Lake. Ulaanbaatar to the Chinese border From Beijing through Guoliang to Shaolin Temple. Traveling west to Xinjiang, Kazakhstan, back to Russia through the cities .
How will I move
“Once a spring is broken through, it can flow anywhere, if the road is laid out, you can go anywhere.”
Current location
Upon arrival at the point, I throw a location into the Telegram channel, as well as information about meetings. (click on title)
The road will be mastered by on-roading
Despite the challenges of the journey, the pass of borders during the pandemic, I do not call it difficulties, I think of it as a “way”. The way is distinguished by the absence of rigid plans at intermediate points.
