95 most inspirational travel quotes ever penned

Our favourite inspirational travel quotes have encouraged us to travel with abandon over the years. Perhaps they will do the same for you…

For us, there is no such thing as luxury travel; travel is, by default, a luxury. It is a privilege provided by the country of our birth, a privilege that many are not as fortunate to enjoy.

Sometimes, we have to pinch ourselves at just how ridiculous our lives have become: an ex-teacher and jobbing writer travelling the world for a living. It is absurd, it is astonishing, it is luxury.

When I first went travelling at 21 years old, my father gave me this quote scrawled on a piece of card.

It infused me with wanderlust. It encouraged me to get out of my comfort zone, make the most of my time, see the world and enjoy the freedom that comes with being on the road. It remains one of the most inspirational travel quotes I’ve read (even if Twain did not actually say it).

Today, 20 years and almost 100 countries later, it’s still in my wallet. Despite its tattered and dishevelled appearance, it’s every bit as important to me now as it was then.

With that in mind, we’ve collated our most beloved inspirational travel quotes to encourage readers to “explore, dream and discover” for themselves.

11 Better Ways To Say “Safe Travels”

“Safe travels” is a polite way to wish somebody well on their upcoming journey. However, there are better ways to be polite and reassuring to your friends when they’re ready to go somewhere (often by plane). This article will share the best alternatives for such a case with you.

What Can I Say Instead Of “Safe Travels”?

There are plenty of ways to use “safe travels” in more exciting manners. You should check out one of the following:

• Have a good flight
• Happy landings
• See you on the other side
• Let me know when you arrive safely
• Stay safe out there
• Enjoy your trip
• Have a relaxing time away
• Happy travels

The preferred version is “be safe” because it keeps it simple. It’s a common phrase we use when we want to wish someone well, and we don’t want them to come across any complications or dangers that might occur if they’re not “careful” enough.

“Be safe” is great to show we care about someone. It lets them know that we worry about them, and we want them to stay “safe” no matter what happens. It works regardless of the method of transport for the journey as well, which makes it a good general phrase.

It’s common for family members to use the phrase “ be safe ” when seeing each other off. This shows that there is a lot of love behind the phrase and that it works well to show how much you care about someone’s wellbeing.

Here are a few ways we might be able to use this phrase:

• Be safe out there. I know you like to find trouble, but for once, I’d love it if you looked after yourself!
• Be safe on your way out! I would love to hear from you and see the pictures of all the things you get up to.
• Don’t forget to message me when you get there! Be safe, and I love you!

“Safe trip” is a simple phrase we can use to make sure someone knows we care. Using words like “safe” reminds people that we worry about them. Even if we are not physically there with them, we hope they are “safe” and do not get into trouble.

This phrase works well regardless of the trip that someone is taking. It could be a long-distance or a short-distance trip. Likewise, it could be by car, plane, boat, or something else entirely!

This phrase works in the following situations:

• Safe trip, Yuri! I’ll miss you, but I know you’ll be thinking about me while you’re away.
• Safe trip back to your hometown, then. Let me know when you get there safely.
• Safe trip, old friend. I’ll see you again whenever you’re next in town!

Have A Good Flight

“Have a good flight” is appropriate to use when someone is going to get on a plane. We use “flight” here to be specific, which helps us to show that we know what someone is getting up to and what they’re likely going to expect from their journey.

We can use this phrase in the following ways:

• Have a good flight! I’m sure you can get all the food and drink you want on there!
• Have a good flight, and don’t forget to let me know when you land safely!
• Have a good flight! There’s nothing to worry about, and you know it’ll all be okay!

Happy Landings

“Happy landings” specifically highlights the “landing” portion of a journey. It works well when someone is going on a plane, and we want them to be “happy” throughout the course of their journey.

Here are a few useful examples of how this one works:

• Happy landings, fella! Don’t forget that they really like their tips out there when you’re dining out!
• Happy landings, then! I’ll miss you every second, so I want you to send me all the photos you can!
• Happy landings! Don’t forget to explore some of the local scenery!

See You On The Other Side

“See you on the other side” is an informal idiom that works well in many cases. We can do it when we know that someone will be returning to see us again soon. “The other side” indicates the place where we will be staying while they go on a journey.

Check out some of these examples to see how it looks:

• See you on the other side, then! Have a great holiday!
• Have a great time away, Fred! See you on the other side!
• I’ll be here waiting for you as always! See you on the other side!

Let Me Know When You Arrive Safely

“Let me know when you arrive safely” is a calm way to let someone know that you are worried. When they arrive at their destination, we can ask them to “message” us to ease our minds and show us that they are thinking about us even after their journey.

We could also use a phrase like “text me when” instead of “let me know when.” If we want to be more specific about the manner of messaging, this phrase works just as well.

This phrase works well in the following ways:

• Let me know when you arrive safely, please! You know how much I worry about you while I’m not around!
• Text me when you arrive safely, please! I want to know just how much fun you’re getting up to.
• Let me know when you arrive safely! I’ll miss you every second that you’re away.

Stay Safe Out There

“Stay safe out there” is a good way to show that you care about someone. “Stay safe” helps to let them know that you’ll be looking out for them and that you want them to explore, but in a reasonable way that won’t cause them harm.

We typically use this phrase when someone is going on a long-distance journey. “Out there” is a good indicator of that.

Check out some of these examples to see how it works:

• Stay safe out there, then! I know you’ll make all the best choices while you’re away.
• Stay safe out there! I’ll miss you, but I know you’ll be having an absolutely adoring time!
• Stay safe out there. You never know what hijinx you might get into, so make sure you text me!

Enjoy Your Trip

“Enjoy your trip” is a simple way to show someone that you care. It helps to let them know that we want them to “enjoy” themselves. While trips can sometimes be boring (especially long-distance ones), we want people to feel like they can still have fun.

This simple phrase works as follows:

• Enjoy your trip, Michael! Let me know when you arrive so we can discuss the adventure more!
• Enjoy your trip! Don’t forget to immerse yourself in the local culture when you get there!
• Enjoy your trip! I expect you to be fluent in German by the time you get back, okay?

Have A Relaxing Time Away

“Have a relaxing time away” works well in many cases. It’s most effective when we know that someone is inclined to worry (whether about the journey or the place they’re going). If we want to calm them down, this phrase works well.

These examples will help you make more sense of it:

• Have a relaxing time away! Remember, you don’t need to worry about a thing when you get on that plane!
• Have a relaxing time away! If anyone deserves it, it is most certainly you!
• Have a relaxing time away! I’m going to miss you, but I know you’ll be back in no time!

Happy Travels

“Happy travels” works really well when we want people to feel “happy” on their journey. “Travels” can refer to any method of transport, but the idea is that they’ll be spending a long time getting from point A to point B, and we want them to feel “happy.”

Perhaps one of these examples will help you make more sense of it:

• Happy travels, mate! I know you’ll love it over there in Australia, but you must tell me all about it.
• Happy travels, Sue! I’ll miss you, so don’t forget to write to me every day about what you do.
• Happy travels, Dan! Thank you for coming to see me again, and I’ll see you again soon, yeah?

“Bon voyage” is a great way to wish someone well before they go on an adventure. It’s French (and Italian), and it means “good journey.” It’s a commonly-used exclamation in English when we want to wish somebody well for something they’re going to do.

It’s also comforting because it shows that we do not wish any problems to come their way when they’re on their journey.

• Bon voyage, my little friend! I’ll see you again when you return!
• Bon voyage, then! I will miss you, but I hope you get a chance to text me a bunch when you get there!
• Bon voyage! I love you so much, and I’ll definitely miss you while you’re away.

‘Happyend’ Review: Friendship Isn’t Future-Proof in a Poignant Surveillance-State Allegory

Two next-generation teenagers face a parting of the ways as they respond differently to the increasing authoritarianism of their Tokyo high school in Neo Sora's touching yet impressively restrained narrative debut.

Japanese director Neo Sora is no catastrophist: the vision of dystopia he puts forth in his coolly compelling first fiction feature “ Happyend ” is chilling precisely because it won’t take some thunderous armageddon to bring it about. Instead, in a near future that’s barely a stone’s throw from now, beset by many of our present predicaments and a sense of impending but not quite imminent apocalypse, his teenage heroes come of age as kids have always done. It’s just that here, there is the added poignancy of experiencing the end of the beginning of life amid what might just be the beginning of the end of the world.

Popular on variety.

That’s a project that doesn’t much interest privileged rebel-without-a-cause Yuta as, under the ebbs and swells of Lia Ouyang Rusli’s superb score — monumental electro one moment, softest piano the next, never overbearingly deployed — Sora gradually narrows the focus of his own all-seeing-eye onto the bond between him and the more thoughtful Kou. Coming from a family of undocumented immigrant Koreans, Kou has a lot more to lose from any run-ins with the authorities than his cosseted BFF, but it’s not just the difference in their social status that begins to tease them apart. Kou also develops a crush on Fumi (Inori Kilala), a quiet, studious girl in his year (“You read books on paper?” he asks her incredulously) who hangs with an activist group that knows how to channel youthful disaffection into actual political protest. Kou gets involved and enjoys an awakening while Yuta., the more obviously rebellious kid proves ultimately to be the more timid. Everyone’s changing and Yuta secretly longs for things to stay the same.

This is a very near future, so little explanation is needed of so-far uninvented tech or unfamiliar language and customs. Instead, Sora’s clean-lined screenplay sketches a world that looks a lot like ours, only with the screws a little tightened. Cellphones are ubiquitous, but used as tracking devices; faces are as fingerprints, and once snapped by a passing cop, all your details appear at the tap of a touchscreen. But he also offsets the techno-paranoid doom-and-gloom by crisply noting the heartening irony that the very tech that dictatorial regimes will lever to suppress youthful exuberance will always be better understood by the youth than by their aging oppressors. No matter the bouncers, the underage will always find a back door through which to sneak. This underlying faith that the kids are gonna be alright, as well as a sweet, simple sadness for the people we lose on the way to becoming the people we’re going to be, means there’s a certain naiveté to “Happyend.” But maybe naive is exactly what we need, when you consider what all this sophistication has done for us.

What Are Happy Ending Spas and How Do They Operate?

Happy ending spas are illicit establishments that provide sexual services as an add-on to standard spa treatments . These spas often operate in a discreet manner to avoid detection by law enforcement. Most of these establishments are found in urban areas and can be challenging to locate without prior knowledge. Privacy, discretion, and secrecy are the watchwords of these establishments, and clients are expected to adhere to strict rules and regulations to ensure their continued operation.

Happy ending spas can operate as standalone businesses or be part of a larger network of illegal activities, including human trafficking and prostitution. To avoid legal repercussions, these establishments are known to regularly change their location, staff, and business name. Operating underground allows them to avoid scrutiny and continue with their activities.

The services offered by these spas range from massages with sexual favors to full-service sex. The prices charged for these services vary widely depending on the establishment, the services provided, and the location. Payment is often in cash, and clients are expected to tip the staff for their services .

• Spas offering happy endings are often advertised online , using euphemisms such as “body rubs,” “adult relaxation,” or “Asian massage.” Customers can also get referrals from word of mouth.
• Some establishments operate openly with a neon “open” sign outside, while others are tucked away in alleyways or behind unmarked doors.
• Clients are expected to follow strict rules, including never mentioning anything about sexual services over the phone or in-person, not tipping in public, and never trying to contact staff members outside of the establishment.

If you’re curious about exploring the world of happy ending spas, it’s essential to do your research thoroughly and understand the risks involved. In the next section, we’ll look at how to identify whether a spa offers these services and how to approach the staff for a happy ending.

Why Happy Ending Spas Exist and Who Frequents Them?

Happy ending spas, also known as erotic massage parlors, have been around for centuries. These establishments provide a range of sexual services, from hand jobs to full-on intercourse, for a fee. The reasons behind why these spas exist are complex, but one common explanation is that they cater to people who are looking for a discreet and easy way to satisfy their sexual desires.

The clients who frequent happy ending spas are also diverse. While many of them are men, there are also women and couples who visit these establishments. Some people may be seeking a sexual outlet that they can’t find elsewhere, while others may be looking for a thrill or a new experience. Regardless of their motivations, it’s important to note that these spas operate in a legal gray area and can pose potential risks to both clients and employees.

Despite the risks, the demand for happy ending spas continues to grow, and they can be found in cities around the world. Some people may be curious about visiting one but may not know where to start. Others may be concerned about the legality or safety of these establishments. Understanding the reasons why happy ending spas exist and who frequents them is an important first step in making an informed decision about whether to visit one.

It’s worth noting that not everyone who visits a happy ending spa is seeking exploitation or engaging in illegal activity. Some people simply enjoy the experience of receiving an erotic massage and may feel that it’s a harmless way to explore their sexuality. However, it’s important to be aware of the potential risks and to approach these establishments with caution.

The Cultural and Legal Context of Happy Ending Spas

Happy ending spas exist in a cultural and legal gray area. In many cultures, prostitution is considered taboo or illegal, but the demand for sexual services persists. Happy ending spas offer a discreet way for clients to access these services without fear of legal consequences or social stigma.

While happy ending spas are technically illegal in most places, law enforcement often turns a blind eye to them unless they are suspected of involvement in more serious crimes. However, crackdowns on prostitution and trafficking have led to increased scrutiny of these establishments in recent years.

Many happy ending spas operate as fronts for other businesses, such as massage parlors or nail salons, to avoid suspicion. Some even offer services like acupuncture or chiropractic care to further legitimize their operations. However, the quality and legitimacy of these additional services can vary widely.

The legality and cultural acceptance of happy ending spas vary widely depending on the country and even the region. In some places, such establishments are openly advertised and regulated, while in others they operate entirely underground.

Uncover the Signs That a Spa Offers Happy Endings

Body language: Massage therapists who offer happy endings tend to stand too close, touch the client’s private parts frequently, and make suggestive comments or noises.

Advertising: Some happy ending spas may advertise with ambiguous phrases such as “stress relief” or “relaxation” without mentioning massages explicitly.

Location: Happy ending spas may be located in secluded areas, away from busy commercial districts, and may have opaque or tinted windows for privacy.

Reviews: Online reviews of a spa can be a useful indicator of whether they offer happy endings or not. Look out for comments that describe the spa as “sensual,” “erotic,” or “adult.”

Physical Indicators That a Spa May Offer Happy Endings

It’s important to remember that just because a spa has one or two of these indicators, it doesn’t necessarily mean they offer illegal services. However, if you do notice multiple indicators, it’s best to leave the establishment immediately. It’s always better to err on the side of caution and protect yourself.

If you suspect that a spa is offering illegal services, report it to the appropriate authorities. Human trafficking is a serious problem, and you could be helping to save someone’s life by speaking up. Don’t be afraid to be a part of the solution and help stop this terrible crime.

Lastly, it’s always a good idea to do your research before visiting a spa. Check online reviews and ask for recommendations from trusted friends or family members. By doing your due diligence, you can help ensure that you’re visiting a legitimate and safe establishment.

Behavioral Clues That Suggest a Spa Provides Happy Endings

Open Late: One of the most common indicators that a spa offers happy endings is that it stays open late. Most legitimate spas close by 9 or 10 pm, but those that offer illicit services may stay open until midnight or later. If you see a spa that is open late and doesn’t have many customers, it could be a red flag.

Cash-Only Payment: Another common behavioral clue is that the spa only accepts cash payments. Spas that provide happy endings may not want a record of the transaction on a credit card statement. If you see a spa that only accepts cash, it could be a sign that it offers illicit services.

Opaque or Covered Windows: Spas that offer happy endings often have windows that are covered or opaque. This is because they don’t want anyone to see what’s going on inside. If you walk by a spa and can’t see inside, it could be a sign that it provides illicit services.

How to Research a Spa’s Reputation for Providing Happy Endings

Check the spa’s website: Look for information about the spa’s services and staff. Legitimate spas typically offer a range of massage and skincare services, and their websites will highlight the qualifications and experience of their therapists. If a spa’s website is vague or suggestive, it may be a sign that they offer more than just massage.

Read online reviews: Check review sites like Yelp or TripAdvisor for feedback from previous clients. Look for reviews that specifically mention the spa’s massage services and pay attention to any comments about inappropriate behavior or sexual propositions. Keep in mind that some reviews may be fake or exaggerated, so take a balanced approach and read a variety of reviews before making a decision.

Ask for recommendations: If you have friends or acquaintances who regularly visit spas, ask them for recommendations. They may have personal experience with a spa that can give you peace of mind about its legitimacy. Alternatively, ask for referrals from healthcare professionals like chiropractors or physical therapists who can recommend a reputable spa in your area.

Learn How to Approach Spa Employees for a Happy Ending

Approaching spa employees for a happy ending can be a tricky task. It is important to keep in mind that not all spa employees provide such services. However, if you are looking for a happy ending, there are some things you can do to increase your chances.

Be polite and respectful: Always approach spa employees in a polite and respectful manner. This will not only increase your chances of getting a happy ending, but it will also make the employee feel more comfortable.

Use code words: Using code words such as “extra service” or “tip” can help communicate your intentions without being too obvious. Be discreet and use these words in a subtle manner.

Offer a generous tip: Offering a generous tip can increase your chances of getting a happy ending. However, it is important to keep in mind that not all employees will accept tips for such services.

Pay attention to body language: Pay attention to the body language of the employee. If they seem uncomfortable or hesitant, it may be best to not pursue the matter any further.

The Importance of Building Rapport and Trust with Spa Employees

When approaching spa employees for a happy ending, it’s important to understand that building rapport and trust is crucial for a successful experience. This means treating the employee with respect and kindness, and showing genuine interest in their well-being.

One way to build rapport is to ask questions about the employee’s life and interests, without prying too much. This can help create a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, making the employee more likely to feel comfortable with you.

It’s also important to be patient and respectful, especially if the employee seems hesitant or nervous. Rushing or pressuring them can create an uncomfortable and tense environment, making it more difficult to establish trust.

Ultimately, building a positive and respectful relationship with spa employees can lead to a more satisfying and enjoyable experience for both parties involved.

How to Communicate Your Interest in Receiving a Happy Ending

Consent is key when it comes to receiving a happy ending during a massage session. Before you even begin your massage, make sure that you communicate your boundaries and preferences with your masseuse. Clearly state that you are interested in receiving a happy ending and ask if that is something that they offer. If they do not provide this service, do not push the matter any further and respect their decision.

Body language can also be a powerful tool when communicating your interest in a happy ending. During the massage, try to relax your body and breathe deeply. If you feel comfortable, you can also make subtle movements or gestures that indicate your interest, such as lightly touching the masseuse’s arm or leg. However, it’s important to be respectful and not cross any boundaries without clear consent.

Timing is another important factor to consider. It’s usually best to wait until towards the end of the massage to bring up the topic of a happy ending. This way, you’ve had time to build a rapport with your masseuse and can gauge their interest in the matter. You can ask something like, “Do you offer any additional services?” or “Can we talk about how to make this massage even more enjoyable?”

Remember, communication is key when it comes to receiving a happy ending during a massage. It’s important to be respectful and always prioritize clear consent. By following these tips, you can have a more enjoyable and satisfying massage experience.

Understand the Risks and Precautions of Seeking a Happy Ending

While seeking a happy ending during a massage session may seem like a harmless way to indulge in some self-care, it’s important to understand the potential risks involved. Here are some things to keep in mind:

Legal implications: In many areas, the exchange of sexual services for money is illegal. If caught, both you and your masseuse could face legal consequences. It’s important to research the laws in your area and consider the potential risks before seeking a happy ending.

Personal safety: Seeking a happy ending from an unlicensed or untrained masseuse can be dangerous. You never know who you may be interacting with or what their intentions are. There have been cases of individuals posing as masseuses in order to rob or assault their clients. Always prioritize your personal safety and research your masseuse beforehand.

STI transmission: Engaging in any sexual activity with a partner carries the risk of transmitting sexually transmitted infections (STIs). It’s important to prioritize safe sex practices, such as using condoms and getting tested regularly, if you choose to seek a happy ending during a massage session.

Emotional well-being: Seeking a happy ending as a means of stress relief or emotional comfort can be a slippery slope. It’s important to address any underlying emotional or mental health issues with a licensed therapist or counselor rather than seeking a temporary escape through sexual services.

Overall, while seeking a happy ending during a massage session may seem like a harmless indulgence, it’s important to consider the potential risks involved and prioritize your personal safety and well-being.

Legal and Ethical Issues Involved in Seeking a Happy Ending

While some people may view seeking a happy ending as a harmless and victimless activity, it’s important to understand that there are significant legal and ethical issues involved. For one, it is illegal in many places to exchange money for sexual services, including a happy ending. Engaging in such activities can result in criminal charges and legal consequences for both the person seeking the happy ending and the person providing it.

Additionally, seeking a happy ending can also raise ethical concerns. In many cases, the person providing the service may be doing so under duress, such as being forced into the sex trade or being exploited by a pimp. Supporting these activities by seeking a happy ending can perpetuate a cycle of abuse and exploitation, which can have devastating consequences for those involved.

Furthermore, it’s important to consider the impact that seeking a happy ending can have on one’s personal and professional life. Engaging in such activities can be stigmatized and may lead to negative social and economic consequences, such as being ostracized by friends and family, losing one’s job, or damaging one’s reputation.

• Legal consequences: Seeking a happy ending can lead to criminal charges and legal consequences due to the illegality of exchanging money for sexual services in many places.
• Ethical concerns: Supporting the sex trade by seeking a happy ending can perpetuate a cycle of abuse and exploitation and raise ethical concerns.
• Personal and professional consequences: Engaging in such activities can lead to negative social and economic consequences, such as stigma, job loss, and damaged reputation.

Given these legal and ethical issues, it’s important to carefully consider the potential consequences before seeking a happy ending. It’s important to prioritize one’s personal and professional well-being and to avoid perpetuating a cycle of abuse and exploitation.

Health and Safety Concerns of Receiving a Happy Ending

Although the practice of seeking a happy ending may seem harmless, it can come with serious health and safety risks. One of the most significant risks is the spread of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) like gonorrhea, chlamydia, and even HIV. The risk of contracting an STI is high when engaging in unprotected sex, and this is a common practice in happy ending services.

In addition to the risk of STIs, there are also concerns around physical safety . Many individuals offering these services may not be trained professionals and could cause harm through improper techniques or accidents. Furthermore, individuals seeking a happy ending may be putting themselves at risk of sexual assault or harassment if they encounter an unscrupulous or unprofessional service provider.

Finally, there are also legal implications of engaging in or providing happy ending services. In many countries, prostitution is illegal, and individuals who engage in or offer these services could face criminal charges. Even in countries where prostitution is legal, there may still be regulations around the practice of happy endings, and providers who do not comply with these regulations could face fines or other penalties.

It is important to weigh the potential risks and consequences before seeking a happy ending service. While it may seem like a harmless way to relieve stress or satisfy a desire, it is essential to prioritize your health, safety, and legal well-being.

Explore Alternatives to Finding a Spa with Happy Endings

While the allure of a spa with happy endings can be tempting, it is important to consider the potential risks and legal issues that may arise. Luckily, there are several alternatives to explore that can still provide a relaxing and enjoyable experience without the added risks.

Look for spas that offer legitimate massage services: Many spas and massage parlors offer legitimate massage services that can provide stress relief and relaxation. Do some research and read reviews to find a reputable spa in your area.

Try at-home spa treatments: Create a spa-like experience in the comfort of your own home by investing in some quality bath salts, candles, and face masks. You can also book a mobile massage therapist to come to your home for a professional massage experience.

Consider alternative forms of bodywork: There are many other forms of bodywork that can be just as effective as massage, such as acupuncture, chiropractic, and reiki. Explore these options to find what works best for you.

Seek out professional counseling: If you are seeking sexual satisfaction, it may be helpful to seek out a professional counselor or therapist who can provide guidance and support. They can help you explore your desires in a safe and healthy way.

Discover the Benefits of Non-Sexual Massage and Wellness Services

If you are seeking a spa experience but are not comfortable with the idea of a happy ending, consider exploring non-sexual massage and wellness services. Not only are these services safe and legal, but they also offer a range of benefits for your physical and mental health.

Non-sexual massage and wellness services can help to reduce stress, alleviate pain and stiffness in the body, and improve overall well-being. From deep tissue massages to aromatherapy, there are many options available to help you relax and rejuvenate.

Additionally, many spas offer other wellness services such as facials, yoga classes, and meditation sessions. These activities can provide a holistic approach to health and wellness, allowing you to improve your physical, mental, and emotional well-being all in one place.

View when driving from Yelisovo airport to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky

The first myth I want to disprove is that getting to Kamchatka is extremely costly. It’s not. Going between February and April, a return flight from Moscow can be had for 11,000 roubles (US$380 / £220). Not bad for 18 hours total flying time. In summer the flights are more expensive but still, if you book them a few months in advance, can be got for 16,000 roubles return.

It’s true, many people will tell you that March and April are the worst months to visit because the snow is starting to melt and everything’s a bit sloshy and dirty in settlements. On the other hand, these are great months for the independent traveller! During winter zimniki (temporary winter roads made of compacted snow or simply frozen river surfaces) open up all over Kamchatka, granting access to communities that in summer are totally isolated. Hitch hiking is possible right from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky to the very north of the peninsula. Alternatively, vehicles can be hired in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky from tour firms. Also in the winter or early spring months places can be reached that are away even from the zimniki, either by snowmobile or by the use of cross country skis. For example, Klyuchevskaya Sopka, Eurasia’s largest active volcano, can be accessed from the village of Klyuchi without the need even for a guide by a traveller with a pair of cross country skis. Bears do not wake up until mid-April so this is not a danger, but bears almost never attack anyone anyway.

The main disadvantages of winter travel in Kamchatka are that it is cold, there is no greenery and there are no bears, which some people come here especially to see.

The second myth I’d like to dispel is that travel around the peninsula requires hiring a helicopter. As mentioned above, in winter you can get almost anywhere by hitch hiking. I even hitched a lift with bear hunters on snowmobiles from their village to a reindeer herder encampment 100km away. In summer snowmobiles are replaced by horses, and transport is reduced from long distance ice-road journeys to irregular inter-settlement all-terrain vehicle trips. Hitch hiking is possible on these all-terrain vehicles though.

Throughout the year there are fairly expensive public helicopter flights to all settlements which are nevertheless much cheaper than hiring your own helicopter. There is also one permanent, year-round dirt road leading halfway up the peninsula. Some distance after the town of Milkovo, about 350km north of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky , it forks. The right fork leads to Klyuchi , site of Eurasia’s largest active volcano, and further to the port town of Ust-Kamchatsk. The left fork leads to the indigenous Even villages of Anavgay and Esso. Daily buses go from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky to Klyuchi , Anavgay and Esso, costing about 1000 roubles each way. In winter a zimnik passable by lorries heads north from Anavgay 36 hours to the otherwise isolated town of Palana. From Palana more zimniki head further north to yet more isolated settlements. From the peninsula’s very northernmost settlements there are even EXTREMELY irregular snowmobile and all-terrain vehicle connections with Magadan Oblast and Chukotka. Another zimnik, only passable by all-terrain vehicle, heads from Anavgay to the village of Ust-Khayryuzovo on Kamchatka’s west coast.
