Travels 🧳

Saying that you like to travel sounds almost pointless — who doesn't? However, similarly to the Chinese language, it's not just the thing itself that I love, but also analyzing it, gathering statistics about it, and visualizing it. Luckily, it's rather obvious with traveling. I am not an avid traveler, however, I did record all the places I have been to.

• Red markers indicate Saint Petersburg, the city where I was born and raised, and the nearest towns.
• Orange markers indicate places where I have lived for at least a couple of months. As of now, this is Kirovsk, Yerevan, and Belgrade, where I live now.
• Green markers indicate places where I have traveled to for the sake of traveling or on vacation.
• Blue markers indicate places where I have been to as a part of my work or studies.
• Grey markers indicate places where I did not do anything, really, except for transiting, like airports or long stops on the train routes. Given the fact that I did not really explore these places in any meaningful way, you may ask — isn't it cheating? In some way, of course it is, which is why they are colored grey. On the other hand, in addition to cultural mapping, I am also interested in what you could call a geometric mapping — I am interested in all the places on the globe where my legs have stood and my lungs have breathed!
