This site describes our trips to different places on the earth and
to different countries. All the trips can be divided in two groups. The
first group includes trips in the former USSR in a period from 1965 to 1994.
During this time I visited more than 60 cities of the former USSR and 12
from 15 republics of the former USSR (excluding Azerbaijan, Tajikistan and
Turkmenistan). The most valuable natural wonders are North and Polar Ural,
Baikal lake and surroundings, Sayan Range, Karelia, Kola peninsula and lake
"Sari Chelek" (Golden cup) in Kirkhistan. All the trips were done from
cities Ujljanovsk (1965 - 1972) and Minsk (1972
- 1994). The second group mainly includes trips outside of the former USSR
in a period from 1994 to the present time. All the trips of the second group
were done from Portugal. During this period I visited all the countries of
North America, all the countries of Europe, All the countries of Sourth
America (except Guyana and Suriname), all the countries of Sourth-East Asia (except
Butan and Timor-Leste) and half countries belonging to Australia and Oceania.
The visited places include all the new wonders of the world, only one
remaining old wonder (Egypt piramides), all the new natural wonders of the
world and many other places although not included in the official wonders
but undoubtedly belonging to them. That is why other places which I would
like to include in the list of wonders are described (this is my own choice
and it is not imposed to other people). In this period we have seen what we
call "the most interesting". We swam with gigantic whale sharks in
Philippines, with the largest rays (Manta Ray) in the Yap island in
Federatet States of Micronesia, with huge number of jellyfishes in
jelly-fish lake in Palau, flew over Nasca lines in Peru, visited Easter
Island, active volcano Yasur in Vanuatu, snorkelled in Sipadan island
(Malaysia), visited the most interesting national parks with animals
(Serengeti, Masai-Mara, Ngorongoro, Ocavango delta, Chobe, Kruger, Addo,
Shamvari, Etosha, and many others), flew over lava flow in Kilauela (Hawai).
This is only a small list from what is intended to show in this site which
will be presented in Russian and in English. I do hope to finish this site
during a year.
