On the last day of summer 2025, "my" project now officially became "ours" and changed its name from "Evgeny Androsov | Travel Adventures" to "Love Live | Travel Adventures".
The North is incredible beauty and my great love, it has always attracted me and continues to attract me. The Ural Mountains are another love. It so happened that I like them not only for the beauty of the landscapes, but also for their own atmosphere and energy. These two loves - for the North and the Ural Mountains, having united, gave birth to the idea of ??a hike through the Polar Urals.
As much as the endless breathtaking landscapes are stunning, the logistics and service in Chukotka, which seem to be created out of spite, are just as disappointing and disgusting. But about the bad later, I'll start with the good.
Routes, recommendations, tips, warnings, details, photographs. And also: the best time to climb, how to get there, make the climb and... stay alive)) A detailed story about climbing Klyuchevskaya Sopka, which is almost impossible to find on the Internet.
Beautiful, is not it? Unusual, romantic... Rice, tuna, wine, black sand and the vast ocean! And behind the scenes... behind the scenes there is a lot of things that the vast majority of city residents who are accustomed to comfort and greenhouse conditions will not like: mosquitoes, sweat, blood, cold and bad weather - often, almost always...
A post written on the basis of many years of observations of people and bears about the savagery of people who live by stereotypes, overwhelmed by fears and therefore commit strange and even absurd acts to the detriment of nature and themselves.

But AlmatyTravelFest, organized by traveler and travel blogger Nurzhan Algashov, is completely different - informal, sincere and very interesting!
The first thing to say is this hike – one of the simplest and most accessible hikes that can be done from Moscow, St. Petersburg and central Russia, but at the same time, feel the real romance of the hike and the difficulties of everyday hiking. Six days of complete separation from the bustle of big cities and the Internet. Mmm… priceless!

The mild maritime climate creates normal conditions for travel both in winter and in autumn-spring, but in the summer God himself ordered to visit this country!
