Why the movement of travelers across Siberia. Travelers' transportation methods

Curiosity, the desire to change the situation, relax and enjoy new experiences - this is what undoubtedly pushes a person to spend his holidays away from home as often as possible.

There are many ways for travelers to travel - planes, trains, buses, cars or hitchhiking. It all depends on where you plan to go and what type of tourism you prefer.

However, no matter where you are going on a trip, it is always necessary to plan the route, places of stops or rest stops, choose the method and means of transportation along the route, decide on overnight stays in advance (in large tourist cities and historical centers during the holiday season, the lack of hotel rooms can become unpleasant surprise). You always want to relax in comfort, and booking apartments in advance can help you subsequently avoid hassle and wasting time and money.

A comfortable stay will be provided by daily rent of luxury apartments.

Our website offers a number of services for booking apartments in any corner of Russia:

Booking daily apartments near the metro is exactly the service that tourists can use when visiting large cities. The close location of this type of transport will allow you to easily reach anywhere in the city at any time.

The optimal and economical solution is . For any historical and tourist center, these days are enough for a brief acquaintance with the city and visiting excursions.

For lovers of a comfortable and elite holiday, traveling with their own vehicles, we offer daily rental of luxury apartments.

When combining vacation with business negotiations or meetings, it is preferable to book an apartment for daily rent with European-quality renovation. This apartment will make your business meeting presentable.

If you are traveling without children and want to relax before moving further, you can rent a studio apartment for a day. Apartments of this class are low in price, but very comfortable and functional.

Booking an apartment for daily rent with European-quality renovation for a real price.

The time allotted for traveling through unfamiliar cities and countries is always short, so the program of visiting excursions and museums, and even just walking around the city in search of attractions, is quite compressed. It’s not very pleasant at the end of a busy day to face the problem of lack of a place to rest and spend the night.

The offers of real estate by travel companies in resort towns during the holidays, as a rule, are very different from the true prices of the landlords; in addition, the company will have to pay a commission fee, and the cost will be several times higher than its real price.

Russian pioneers of Siberia in the 17th century

Very little documentary evidence has been preserved about the very first explorers of the 17th century. But already from the middle of this “golden age” of Russian colonization of Siberia, “expedition leaders” compiled detailed “skasks” (that is, descriptions), a kind of reports about the routes taken, the open lands and the peoples inhabiting them. Thanks to these “skasks,” the country knows its heroes and the main geographical discoveries they made.

Chronological list of Russian explorers and their geographical discoveries in Siberia and the Far East

Fedor Kurbsky

In our historical consciousness, the first “conqueror” of Siberia is, of course, Ermak. It became a symbol of the Russian breakthrough into the eastern expanses. But it turns out that Ermak was not the first. 100 (!) years before Ermak, Moscow governors Fyodor Kurbsky and Ivan Saltykov-Travin penetrated into the same lands with troops. They followed a path that was well known to the Novgorod “guests” and industrialists.

In general, the entire Russian north, the Subpolar Urals and the lower reaches of the Ob were considered the Novgorod patrimony, from where enterprising Novgorodians “pumped” precious junk for centuries. And the local peoples were formally considered Novgorod vassals. Control over the untold wealth of the Northern Territories was the economic rationale for the military capture of Novgorod by Moscow. After the conquest of Novgorod by Ivan III in 1477, not only the entire North, but also the so-called Ugra land went to the Moscow principality.

The dots show the northern route along which the Russians walked to Ermak

In the spring of 1483, the army of Prince Fyodor Kurbsky climbed the Vishera, crossed the Ural Mountains, went down the Tavda, where they defeated the troops of the Pelym Principality - one of the largest Mansi tribal associations in the Tavda River basin. Having walked further to Tobol, Kurbsky found himself in the “Siberian Land” - that was the name then of a small territory in the lower reaches of Tobol, where the Ugric tribe “Sypyr” had long lived. From here the Russian army marched along the Irtysh to the middle Ob, where the Ugric princes successfully “fought”. Having collected a large yasak, the Moscow detachment turned back, and on October 1, 1483, Kurbsky’s squad returned to their homeland, having covered about 4.5 thousand kilometers during the campaign.

The results of the campaign were the recognition in 1484 by the “princes” of Western Siberia of dependence on the Grand Duchy of Moscow and the annual payment of tribute. Therefore, starting from Ivan III, the titles of the Grand Dukes of Moscow (later transferred to the royal title) included the words “ Grand Duke of Yugorsk, Prince of Udorsky, Obdorsky and Kondinsky.

Vasily Suk And n

He founded the city of Tyumen in 1586. On his initiative, the city of Tobolsk was founded (1587). Ivan Suk And n was not a pioneer. He was a high-ranking Moscow official, a governor, sent with a military detachment to help Ermakov’s army to “finish off” Khan Kuchum. He laid the foundation for the capital arrangement of Russians in Siberia.

Cossack Penda

Discoverer of the Lena River. Mangazeya and Turukhansk Cossack, legendary personality. He set out with a detachment of 40 people from Mangazeya (a fortified fort and the most important trading point for Russians in Northwestern Siberia (1600-1619) on the Taz River). This man made an unprecedented trek of thousands of miles through completely wild places in terms of his determination. Legends about Penda were passed down from mouth to mouth among the Mangazeya and Turukhansk Cossacks and fishermen, and reached historians in almost their original form.

Penda and like-minded people climbed the Yenisei from Turukhansk to Nizhnyaya Tunguska, then walked for three years to its upper reaches. I reached the Chechuysky portage, where the Lena comes almost close to the Lower Tunguska. So what is next, having crossed the portage, he sailed along the Lena River down to the place where the city of Yakutsk was later built: from where he continued his journey along the same river to the mouth of the Kulenga, then along the Buryat steppe to the Angara, where, having boarded the ships, he arrived again in Turukhansk through Yeniseisk».

Petr Beketov

Sovereign serviceman, governor, explorer of Siberia. The founder of a number of Siberian cities, such as Yakutsk, Chita, Nerchinsk. He came to Siberia voluntarily (he asked to go to the Yenisei prison, where he was appointed rifle centurion in 1627). Already in 1628-1629 he took part in the campaigns of Yenisei servicemen up the Angara. He walked a lot along the tributaries of the Lena, collected yasak, and brought the local population into submission to Moscow. He founded several sovereign forts on the Yenisei, Lena and Transbaikalia.

Ivan Moskvitin

He was the first European to reach the Sea of ​​Okhotsk. I was the first to visit Sakhalin. Moskvitin began his service in 1626 as an ordinary Cossack in the Tomsk prison. He probably took part in the campaigns of Ataman Dmitry Kopylov to the south of Siberia. In the spring of 1639, he set out from Yakutsk to the Sea of ​​Okhotsk with a detachment of 39 servicemen. The goal was the usual - “the search for new lands” and new unclear (that is, not yet subject to tribute) people. Moskvitin’s detachment descended along the Aldan to the Mai River and They walked up May for seven weeks, from Maya to the portage by a small river they walked for six days, they walked for one day and reached the Ulya River, they walked down the Ulya river for eight days, then they made a boat and sailed to the sea for five days..

Results of the campaign: The coast of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk for 1300 km, Udskaya Bay, Sakhalin Bay, Amur Estuary, the mouth of the Amur and Sakhalin Island were discovered and surveyed. In addition, they brought with them to Yakutsk a large booty in the form of a fur tribute.

Ivan Stadukhin

Discoverer of the Kolyma River. Founded the Nizhnekolymsk fort. He explored the Chukotka Peninsula and was the first to enter the north of Kamchatka. He walked along the coast on Kochs and described one and a half thousand kilometers of the northern part of the Sea of ​​​​Okhotsk. He kept records of his “circular” journey, described and drew up a drawing map of the places he visited in Yakutia and Chukotka.

Semyon Dezhnev

Cossack ataman, explorer, traveler, sailor, explorer of Northern and Eastern Siberia, as well as a fur trader. Participated in the discovery of Kolyma as part of Ivan Stadukhin’s detachment. From Kolyma, on Kochs, he traveled along the Arctic Ocean along the northern coast of Chukotka. 80 years before Vitus Bering, the first European in 1648 passed the (Bering) Strait separating Chukotka and Alaska. (It is noteworthy that V. Bering himself did not manage to pass the entire strait, but had to limit himself to only its southern part!

Vasily Poyarkov

Russian explorer, Cossack, explorer of Siberia and the Far East. Discoverer of the Middle and Lower Amur. In 1643, 46 led a detachment that was the first Russian to penetrate the Amur River basin and discovered the Zeya River and the Zeya Plain. Collected valuable information about the nature and population of the Amur region

1649-1653

Erofey Khabarov

A Russian industrialist and entrepreneur, he traded furs in Mangazeya, then moved to the upper reaches of the Lena River, where from 1632 he was engaged in buying furs. In 1639 he discovered salt springs on the Kut River and built a brewery, and then contributed to the development of agriculture there.

In 1649-53, with a detachment of eager people, he made a trip along the Amur from the confluence of the Urka River into it to the very lower reaches. As a result of his expedition, the Amur indigenous population accepted Russian citizenship. He often acted by force, which left him with a bad reputation among the indigenous population. Khabarov compiled “Drawing on the Amur River.” The Khabarovka military post founded in 1858 (since 1893 - the city of Khabarovsk) and the Erofey Pavlovich railway station (1909) are named after Khabarov.

Vladimir Atlasov

Cossack Pentecostal, clerk of the Anadyr prison, “an experienced polar explorer,” as they would say now. Kamchatka was, one might say, his goal and dream. The Russians already knew about the existence of this peninsula, but none of them had yet penetrated the territory of Kamchatka. Atlasov, using borrowed money and at his own risk, organized an expedition to explore Kamchatka at the beginning of 1697. Having taken into the detachment the experienced Cossack Luka Morozko, who had already been to the north of the peninsula, he set out from the Anadyr fort to the south. The purpose of the campaign was traditional - furs and the annexation of new “unknown” lands to the Russian state.

Atlasov was not the discoverer of Kamchatka, but he was the first Russian to walk almost the entire peninsula from north to south and from west to east. He compiled a detailed story and map of his journey. His report contained detailed information about the climate, flora and fauna, as well as the amazing springs of the peninsula. He managed to persuade a significant part of the local population to come under the rule of the Moscow Tsar.

For the annexation of Kamchatka to Russia, Vladimir Atlasov, by decision of the government, was appointed clerk there. The campaigns of V. Atlasov and L. Morozko (1696-1699) were of great practical importance. These people discovered and annexed Kamchatka to the Russian state and laid the foundation for its development. The government of the country, represented by Sovereign Pyotr Alekseevich, already then understood the strategic importance of Kamchatka for the country and took measures to develop it and consolidate it on these lands.

Russian travelers and pioneers

Again travelers of the era of great geographical discoveries

Maybe some of us think that planet Earth has been studied for a long time and there are no “blank spots” on it. This is far from true.
There are a lot of amazing, unusual and not yet fully understood things on Earth.
Everything in the nature around us is interconnected and interdependent.

Just think, what would happen to us if there were no secrets, riddles and questions that have no answers yet? 99.99% of what happens in nature goes unnoticed and incomprehensible, and what is noticed is often not given much importance and ignored - either by mistake or deliberately.

Most people are completely unprepared for life in conditions where there are no ready-to-eat foods, medicines, necessary clothing and navigation aids, and especially when a person is left alone with the wild world around him. But, before giving a precise definition of the concept of “travel”, you need to understand what is travel in general?

Why do people go on trips, rafting down rivers, climbing mountains, going to the sea? What do they get from it and what do they do? Such questions are typical for people who stay at home and do not travel outside their hometown unless absolutely necessary. “Life is a journey. For some it’s a journey to the bakery and back, for others it’s a trip around the world.” This is how Konstantin Khabensky defined the journey. The basis of people's interest in travel most often lies in the thirst for knowledge, and not at all about themselves - but about the universe in general, and the surrounding world in particular. Apparently, this tendency is built into us (or at least some of us) at the genetic level. Since ancient times, people have been drawn beyond the horizon to the unknown, and travel can be viewed in different ways. This can be self-knowledge - the opportunity to discover new sides of yourself that were hidden behind everyday routine.

Or is it a desire to feel experiences and touch new sensations that are associated with communication with new people, new countries, animals. Writer Ivan Bunin once said: “Three things make a person happy: love, interesting work and the opportunity to travel.” People's passion for tourism and travel is growing every year.

People of different ages and professions, with different family and social status, and significantly different levels of culture and physical development, are involved in tourism and travel. Modern man, accustomed to a stable lifestyle and technological progress, needs an adrenaline rush. Any journey, among other things, requires preparation for possible difficulties. This includes a sharp change in environment, lifestyle, and unusual information environment. After all, most city dwellers have more than vague ideas about existence in their natural habitat. Living in tents and being completely or even partially self-sufficient turns out to be a challenge or even a shock for some. Needless to say, most of them lack the skills to communicate with nature and have a conscious and responsible attitude towards the world that surrounds them.


The modern world is accessible to almost every person anywhere. Long-distance road trips are not uncommon. And there are not many places left on Earth where no human has set foot. However, the healthy spirit of the explorer and discoverer, the romance of distant travels, the search for the unknown and the desire to test oneself attracts not only tourists, climbers, speleologists and just single adventurers.

Every year a large army of tourists, naturalists, and simply adventurers go on hiking trips, trips and expeditions. At his core, a person is a discoverer and cannot imagine life without the romance of searching, no matter how it manifests itself. It is this circumstance that makes wild nature somehow excitingly unknown, romantic and tempting for modern people. There appears a completely legitimate desire and desire to understand, see and feel, unravel and satisfy the thirst for search.

Vasily Zharkov became a disabled person of the first group at the age of 25. Doctors said that the best medicine for him was movement in the fresh air. On January 1, 1963, Zharkov set off on a journey across the country, which he completed on January 1, 1968, having covered a total of 82 thousand kilometers in five years!

In 1990, the author of this article walked alone 630 kilometers through the sands of the Karakum Desert in 36 days. The difficulty of maintaining life and health while traveling is determined by a number of reasons, both moral and physical. But the main reason is that most people are completely unprepared for life in conditions where there are no ready-to-eat foods, medicines, necessary clothing and navigation aids, and especially when a person is left alone with the wild world around him.

But, before giving a precise definition of the concept of “travel”, you need to understand what is travel in general? Therefore, let us consider this word from the point of view of etymology (the science that studies the origin and pedigree of words, their meaning and interpretation).

In the history of civilization, the first principles of the definition were laid down by the Greeks “tour” (tour) - a Greek word meaning journey. Here it should immediately be made clear that tourism is a special case of travel. All tourism includes travel, however, not all travel is tourism. Tourism is a special kind of travel, even a special state of mind, that is, first of all, the activity of the tourist himself, aimed at learning the history, culture of various countries, studying the traditions and customs of other peoples, etc. At the same time, the concept of “tourism” has many other definitions. Currently, the concept of “tourist” is closely related to the concept of “tourism”. Interestingly, this term originally simply meant a traveling person. Weber's dictionary explains the word "tourist" as a person who travels for pleasure or interest.

To be able to become interested in the cloud that rushes in the heights, the light that penetrates everywhere, the memories that arise in the memory while driving, the colors of nature harmoniously mixed in the general mass, various sounds; to capture the picturesque and mundane side of all the feelings of being in the open air, or to reconcile and enjoy it entirely - that is what tourism means.

This is how tourism was defined by the winner of a French magazine competition, a certain R. de Pages. You can find a more amusing definition of tourists in the 19th century:

“people who travel for pleasure, out of curiosity and in order to “kill time” and even “for pleasure and to brag about it later.”

It is believed that the word "tourist" was introduced into literary use around 1800, when the book Pegge of the author of Anecdotes of English Languege noted that "The traveler is often called a tourist in these days." Apparently, this is one of the first documented evidence of the emergence of a new word. In 1838, “Notes of a Tourist” by F. Stendhal was published. Thus, J. Dumazedieu, a famous French sociologist and leisure researcher, considers Stendhal to be the inventor of the word “tourist”. Much later, in 1963, at the UN conference on international tourism in Rome, the following definition of a tourist was adopted:
Tourist – visitor, i.e. a person who travels and stays in places outside his usual environment for a period of not more than 12 months for any purpose other than engaging in activities remunerated from sources in the place visited.

Travel is a term that has a significant general conceptual meaning and denotes the movement of people in space and time.


Depending on the characteristics of the trip, a traveler can be called: a navigator, an astronaut, a businessman, a naturalist, etc. in accordance with goals, directions, means of transportation and other characteristics that are of significant or even insignificant importance.
Traveling involves individuals and groups of people united by a common interest and goal.
For some peoples, traveling is a way of life that has been established for centuries and is caused by the climatic characteristics of the area where they live.

These include, for example, nomadic tribes: Belungi, Bedouins, Gypsies, etc. Nomads, along with their herds of animals, move annually as they develop pastures, and they are not stopped even by state borders. So, travel is movement in time and space, regardless of goals, timing and conditions. Traveling can be a job or a way of life.
However, most travelers (as opposed to just tourists) become real researchers and naturalists. During travel, interesting observations of natural phenomena are made and amazing discoveries are made.

What is the difference between a tourist and a traveler? Travel and tourism are inextricably linked concepts that characterize a certain way of human life. But tourism is still a special case of travel, since not all tourism is a journey. Tourism, unlike travel, is the movement of people in fairly short periods of time. Where does the desire to travel begin? As experience shows, people become active travelers not only in their youth, but also in very mature age.

In our country there is a huge army of single amateurs traveling not only for their own pleasure, but also for research purposes, often built on a rather amateurish basis. But that is precisely why it is appropriate to recall the wonderful words of our great compatriot, scientist and researcher Mikhail Lomonosov:

Cross the earth and the abyss,
And the steppes and the deep forest,
And the inside of Riphean and the top,
And the very height of heaven.
Explore everywhere all the time,
What is great and beautiful
What the world has never seen before.


Often a book you read calls you on a journey. The desire to travel and explore the world around us especially manifests itself in childhood, after becoming acquainted with adventure literature. I was no exception either. Having learned to read early, like all children, he enthusiastically plunged into the world of fairy tales, then, growing up, he began to read books about knights, pirates, and travelers. First there were books by Mark Twain, Walter Scott, then “Robinson Crusoe” by Daniel Defoe, “In the Footsteps of Robinson” by Nikolai Verzilin, sea stories about pirates by Louis Stevenson, wonderful books by Jack London... And all these books strengthened my passion for travel and adventure , but finally I still had to go through the knowledge of the underground world, the world of caves! People often ask me: “Why exactly do all sorts of unusual adventures and amazing encounters happen to you, why exactly do you make extraordinary discoveries and discoveries!?”

The answer is simple. I travel a lot, meet many people, write down their stories and stories. And finally, I know how to observe, not ignoring even seemingly insignificant little things, and I know how to analyze what I see! However, traveling both above and below the ground, and trying to tell about my adventures, I always remembered one wise statement by the English writer and philosopher Lewis Carroll: “No journey rich in adventure will remain forgotten. Travels without adventure are not worth devoting books to.”

Why do people travel? Is it really just to take a 2-week break from work, spend the money accumulated over six months and create the illusion that “they can afford it”?

You've been planning for a long time. But work-home-family-responsibilities-loans and other excuses don’t even allow you to breathe out to understand what changes you need. You continue to run at the usual crazy pace of life, without doing anything.

Stop!

Think, look at your life from a different angle, decide what you lack now and what prevents you from living in harmony with yourself. Does not work? Then here’s some working advice for you: leave the house and go a little further than the usual home-work-shop-home route.

By leaving your usual environment, even for a short period of time, turn your life into a journey full of uncertainty, and you will be able to get to know yourself from the most unexpected sides.

Why travel if it's good at home?

Does the unknown scare you? This is fine. Fear of the new is a common occurrence in the life of every person. But weigh all the benefits of travel and your fear – are they on the same scale? Let's figure out what travel teaches us and whether we should actively look for excuses to defend our fears.

What travel can teach you

1. You will look up from the couch.

Thinking about the upcoming voyage, we begin to worry about the difficulties that await tourists. We are worried that we will not find a place to stay for the night, that we will not be able to communicate with the residents of another country in our broken English. What do travel teach? Because all the fears listed above are in vain. Gather your courage, focus on your goal and hit the road. It is a mistake to think that traveling is either a “round the world” trip, where you burn all your bridges, or a package holiday that limits you to an all-inclusive system. How much do you know about the surrounding areas of your city? About the life of residents of neighboring villages? Surely there are a lot of interesting things near you. Start discovering the world small.

2. Travel changes your worldview.

The first thing he learns after visiting different countries is that exotic places are not as dangerous as they seem. You can feel comfortable in any city. This rule also applies to wildlife: by following basic safety rules, you are guaranteed to avoid trouble. Moreover, in a metropolis a person is more likely to die (for example, by being hit by a car) than in a desert or forest.

3. You will constantly expand your horizons.

What are travels for? To get to know the world and get acquainted with the culture of other peoples. Don't worry about the friendliness of the people: the locals always treat travelers politely and try to help them. If you are not one of the Tagil fans, don’t spoil their heritage and don’t laugh at the culture of the country in which you are a guest, then traveling will definitely bring you new acquaintances and faith in people. Many people will be happy to provide you with an overnight stay, show you the way, and tell you about the interesting sights of their country.

4. You don’t have to be a millionaire to see the world.

Travel more and you will realize that you don't need to spend millions to do it. Big money is necessary only for those who dream of a sea cruise to exotic islands. Although, if you make friends with the locals, you can easily avoid these expenses. When organizing your travels yourself, you only need to have a small amount of cash to buy food, pay for transport and hotel rooms or places in hostels. Living in the latter, by the way, despite its cheapness, can give you a huge amount of experience and impressions.


What kind of travel should I do if I have a modest budget?

Vacation on a grand scale, which the Russian soul requires, in fact turns out to be completely unnecessary: ​​without wasting money, you will spend time much more interesting than buying and ordering everything you want. And the main trophy will be the emotions and discoveries that you make for yourself. A two-day hike with backpacks in the forest will bring more benefits than you won’t get by relaxing in a five-star hotel with “all-inclusive” for two weeks.

5. Things are just things.

First-time tourists consider it their duty to take 10 suitcases on the road with outfits for all occasions and full equipment in case of the end of the world. But over time, travel teaches that an abundance of luggage only gets in the way. A person on the road (as in life) needs a minimum of clothing, two pairs of shoes, hygiene products, money and documents.

You can’t decide which of the two T-shirts you have is better to take with you, but you end up putting both in your backpack. Why do you voluntarily complicate your life? Learn to make choices, starting with little things like this.

Once you start traveling, you will realize that you absolutely do not need most of the things you have, and you can painlessly get rid of them by freeing up space in your closet. The same applies to unnecessary emotions, unnecessary worries, uninteresting people and habitual obligations - by getting rid of such “junk”, you will make room for new things.

6. Find out how a tourist differs from a traveler.

Travelers and tourists are not the same thing. The first ones communicate with local residents, get acquainted with traditions, make new acquaintances, change their worldview and improve their lives. The latter fearfully glance at everything that is happening from the windows of the bus. Locals scam tourists out of money, and share food and shelter with travelers. Travel changes people and teaches them that they need to be simpler and not be afraid to learn new things, teach them to be open with others and appreciate every person who comes into life.

7. Travel is not a vacation.

You've probably heard more than once how traveling changes many people, making them stronger and more resilient. And you actively travel to Cyprus and Turkey, but you don’t notice any changes... And this is not because hiking in the mountains or tundra with a heavy backpack is a workout for the body. Not because in the most harmless resort city you can be left without money or find yourself in a difficult situation. It’s just that when traveling, you don’t set the goal of “lying down” under a palm tree, relieving stress from work or family. You change your lifestyle from the usual to an improved version of it. Traveling can be physically difficult, but it also relieves the mind. Therefore, they are not looking for physical relief; they provide much more than relaxed muscles.

8. You are your best friend and travel companion.

Can't find travel companions to go on the road with a fun group? This will only benefit you. There is no better way to understand yourself, the world, and cultivate fortitude than solo travel. Traveling alone is an incomparable experience. By relying only on your own strengths, you will begin to believe in yourself more and learn to make responsible decisions on your own. This will make it easier for you to meet new people, try unusual things and take on unfamiliar roles, since you won’t have to look up to anyone and won’t be afraid of anyone’s judgement.

The heroine Reese Witherspoon went on a similar journey in the film “Wild” after upheavals in her life: overcoming the difficulties of the route on a solo trip, she was able to save herself from mental suffering. If you can't figure it out, maybe solo travel is what will help you now?

9. It's a small world.

Long journeys have changed the opinion of millions of people that our planet is vast. It only seems like this when you watch about other countries on TV. In reality, it is possible that you will meet your friends when you go to Cambodia, India or Kamchatka. Or, in a quiet, remote corner of the world, meet someone from your hometown.

Travel more and don't be afraid to communicate with people, search. Perhaps one of the billions of people who will change your life will meet you in a place you never thought possible.

10. The joy of returning.

No matter how good it is along the way, returning home is a joyful moment for every person. Arriving in your hometown, you will be glad to meet your loved ones and work colleagues. And the changes that happen to you on your journey will certainly affect your life. And if you want to change your life now, try to start with at least a short trip to an unfamiliar place.

When planning their vacation, people carefully choose the most suitable transport that will take them to their vacation destination. There are not so many ways - road, rail, water and air transport. The last type is the youngest, but already quite popular and proven.

But often the plane causes serious fears and anxiety in people. Of course, it is unreasonable to be guided only by this. To finally decide on the most suitable mode of transport, you should consider all the advantages and disadvantages of traveling by plane.

Advantages of traveling by plane

The most important advantage of air travel is its high speed. In just a few hours you can cross thousands of kilometers and end up in the place you need. This is especially convenient when time is limited.

Traveling by plane does not seem as tiring as, for example, by train or bus. After all, you don’t need to spend several days traveling here.

The planes are distinguished by high service. The passenger is provided with food and drinks during the flight. In addition, there are all sorts of ways to pass the time, for example, watching a movie, reading the press or leafing through a magazine.

During the flight, the passenger feels as comfortable and comfortable as possible, which is ensured by comfortable seats that allow you to have a great rest and even sleep.

The view from the window is very impressive, the beautiful landscapes located below or the snow-white clouds enveloping the plane.

Today there is a unique opportunity to book a ticket by phone or online and forget about countless queues. Moreover, such a service is available at any time that is most convenient for you.

You can travel by plane to any country that is not always accessible by rail or road transport.

Disadvantages of traveling by plane

Perhaps the main disadvantage is the high cost of tickets, which is several times higher than the price of a train ticket.

The baggage inspection procedure and passenger registration, which requires additional time, are problematic.

Sometimes it takes a long time to check in or receive luggage, and there are often cases when items were sent on another flight.

Often passengers have to change planes, which again requires additional time.

There is a high risk of an accident, because even a minor breakdown can lead to serious consequences.

Some people may experience various problems - motion sickness, fear of heights, and others.

Airplanes are weather-dependent transport; for example, during thunderstorms or high fog, flights are usually canceled.

Turbulence zones that cause fear are considered not a very pleasant phenomenon.

Despite the high level of seat comfort, it can still be quite problematic to sit in one position for several hours.

There are restrictions on the use of cell phones on airplanes, which can interfere with on-board equipment. That is why the use of mobile communications is still prohibited. However, today in many modern airliners this problem has been solved, and you can safely use your phone.

Despite so many shortcomings, the plane still remains the fastest mode of transport, allowing you to get to any geographical point in a matter of hours. Most people prefer it. If you like to travel at high speed and comfort, then you can safely choose a plane. And, of course, you shouldn’t be afraid or think about accidents, because no transport is insured against them. Choose this method and get a lot of pleasure from your trip!
