Hello, I am Nikolai Smirnov
I am a traveler, blogger, and adventure seeker from Russia.
Traveling is not just a change of places, but a way of life, a way to learn about the world, meet amazing people, and discover new horizons.
Since childhood, I dreamed of exploring different corners of the planet, and today I continue my journey, share my experience, and inspire others. In this blog, I talk about the best routes, useful tips for travelers, national cuisine, and life hacks for comfortable trips.

To travel cheaply, book airline tickets in advance, use accommodation search services (such as Couchsurfing or Airbnb), and explore local cuisine instead of restaurants.

Use translators (Google Translate), learn basic phrases before the trip, and be open to communication – in most tourist places, people speak English.

I always take a smartphone with a good camera, a power bank, a universal charger adapter, and a foldable water bottle.
What is my favorite country?
Each place is unique, but the UAE impressed me with a combination of futurism and traditional culture, as well as opportunities for active recreation.
