Siberia - 2016

I don't remember exactly when I decided to visit Siberia but I know why I did it. To Escape. Stress at work lack of a challenge and a kind of aimlessness that I needed to address. Siberia, seemed far enough, and 2.5 weeks seemed long enough; it was the best decision of my life. I may have fibbed a bit about my trekking experience, but what I lacked in that department, I made up with a lot of enthusiasm and good old-fashioned, stubbornness. There was no way I could have done this on my own, so after some extensive research, I went with a small company that turned out to be a group of friends with lots of experience. I booked my flights 10 months in advance and spent almost every waking moment: sorting my visa, learning about the area, buying equipment, and feeling excited about the trip. It ended up being an adventure of a lifetime! To remember every moment of this trip I wrote a blog for myself before going to bed every night. If you are bored, read a little.
