I crossed the border into Baja California at the town Teсate and stayed overnight there, although initially my plan was to get to Ensenada the first day. But crossing the border between the United States and Mexico took longer than I expected, and I don't like to ride at night because I can't see...

It was only when I started to travel a lot on a motorcycle that I understood more in the depth the figurative expression "light at the end of the tunnel". But it all started with the literal meaning of those words.  I don't really like to ride through tunnels, and in places where there are a...

When I entered Mexico early January this year I was surprised to get to know that I could stay in the country with my motorcycle for six months. Up until now such a long stay in the country could only be possible in the United States. So I was pleasantly surprised but at the same time I smiled and...

My second trip to Mexico started in January 2020 from the peninsula Baja California.  It is the northernmost state of Mexico, 1,300 km long, south of the border with California, located in the north of the Baja California Peninsula. Its official name is the Free and Sovereign State of Lower...

The Old Man and the Sea by Hemingway is one of my favorite books, and I can't remember how many times I've read it. Like any genius work, every time it opens up from a new angle, and every time it feels like you were reading it the first time.  When I saw a sculpture of the old man at La Paz...

Yes, I haven’t finished the last stretch yet and I still had some issues with the bike to resolve, so it was too early to relax. But something told me that yesterday was my biggest challenge, and now the road was favorable...

Every time I go out for my sunset walk at the seaside, during this time of quarantine, I see one fishing boat. There are actually quite a few boats there, but this one always grabs my special attention. Or rather, its name. Merci. And every time I see this boat, I think about gratitude.  Such a...

I had a feeling and knew that it was going to be the hardest day on this road. Was I afraid? I guess not, there was a determination to go no matter what, curiosity whether I would manage it, excitement, or rather awe, if this word is appropriate here.  It seemed to me that this day was the most...

They say that when you write something down or articulate it to someone, you clear your mind and you can discover something you have never thought about before. Although this something has always been there inside of you, but being in a hurry it's sometimes difficult to notice and recognize...

The second day of my journey on the ghost road BR 319 in Amazonia started. I decided to wake up very early to leave before the heat. Already the previous day I noted how right were those who warned me that it was very hot in the Amazon jungle. I can hardly bear the heat, so any extra minutes, or if...
