I am going to Magadan. An insane journey from St. Petersburg to the Far North.

You are holding a story about the exciting journey of Natasha Korneva, a writer, blogger, and traveler who has hitchhiked across all of Russia multiple times. She has proven that for an unforgettable journey, a huge amount of money is not necessary. After all, the most valuable things in such adventures are the experiences and the people we meet along the way. In the new book, you will embark on an incredible two-month journey with the author. After covering a huge distance on a "kazanka" boat along the Lena River with her partner Alexey, Natasha decides to travel alone from the city of Mirny to Magadan to fulfill her long-standing dream of seeing Kolyma. You can expect scorching Siberian summer heat, ghost towns, abandoned villages, the bone-chilling autumn Siberian cold, incredible stories from fellow travelers, the eerie silence of the "Kolyma" highway, and dangers lurking in the most unexpected places. This is a story about the importance of listening to your heart and following your dreams, about love for one's country and the thirst for new discoveries, about the incredible Siberian people and their hospitality. It is an ode to the great Siberia and the Lena River, which became the starting point of this insane journey.
