10000km. 33 days. Across 8 time zones. 9 trains. 1 story of a lifetime adventure.
In this video I share with you my travel across all of Russia taking the world's longest railway - the Trans-Siberian! However, I won’t have a traditional route: my goal is not Moscow but another city in the south-west – Pyatigorsk, and I am planning to stop in the least known parts of Russia which tourists usually don’t visit.
Here's my route: Vladivostok - Birobidzhan (the Jewish Autonomous Oblast) - Blagoveshchensk - Tynda - Novaya Chara (the Trans-Baikal region) - Krasnoyarsk - Tomsk - Kurgan - Ufa (Bashkortostan republic) - Pyatigorsk
