In November 2023, Anna Borisova set off on a solo round-the-world trip. By that time, she had visited about fifty countries and had an unbearable desire to see even more. In just over 6 months, she crossed all the meridians, traveled to 21 countries and countless cities, stocked up on a ton of stories and, finally, came to us to share them and tell us about: preparing for the trip, the necessary equipment and other preparatory issues; route planning, possible mistakes and difficulties; the moral and physical aspects of a long solo trip; the main insights and unexpected consequences of her journey; the main conclusions after. Anna Borisova is an experienced traveler, having visited more than 60 countries of the world, traveling on foot, bicycles, buses, trains, cars, planes and ferries. When traveling, Anna most of all values history and culture, which can be studied in practice. After setting off on a round-the-world trip, she started keeping a daily vlog on YouTube about her adventures, showing others that by crossing borders in the world, we cross them in our heads, becoming more open and happier.
