Jumping around lake Baïkal

Arrived at 6am in Irkutsk, we start the day by a good ol' breakfast with coffee sausages, schnitzel and mashed potatoes. We then head to the Hostel, with just enough time to take a shower before going on the Baïkal trek. The shower was cold, but after 4 days of train (hence without showering),...

Jumping in Ilanskiy

Ever heard of Ilanskiy ? Me neither before stopping there. It is a small town completely lost in Siberia. But there you'll find an old and gorgeous locomotive from the early days of steam-powered TransSiberian railways.

Jumping in Novosibirsk

A little lesson of Cyrillic. - H = N - B = V - C = S - И = I - б = B - P = R So... HOBOCИбИCK = Novosibirsk ! Novosibirsk, largest city of Siberia (and third largest of Russia), is actually very new as it was created only because of the construction of the TransSiberian railway in...

Jumping in Barabinsk (a.k.a. train makes you zen)

Barabinsk is a small city for which wikipedia says "the most important economic sectors are the production of building material as well as metal and agricultural industries". Ok, might not be the hottest touristic spot of Russia.

First TransSiberian jump !

After one night aboard train Rossyia (linking Moscow to Vladivostok), we stopped some time in Balezino. Enough time to stretch our legs and buy some food for the day to the local sellers on the platform.

Jumping in Perm'

Aboard the transsiberian, life is simple for 4 days: eat, sleep, read, talk, take the apero, eat, sleep etc... That's a wonderful time where you end up relaxed as you've never been before. But when you'll get offered the chance to stop in a station for more than 5 minutes, you come to...

Jumping in Moscow

Just arrived in Moscow, we went to get registered (not only do you need a visa but you need to be registered when you arrive in Russia, stating where you'll be staying and for how long) Right after, we met with Ksenia and Gregory (CSers that I had hosted during the summer) for a city walk and...
