" I'm going on a trip around the world!

I have to travel the world, visit the most hidden corners of the planet.

I do not want to rush, but my plan will be implemented within two and a half years.

My name is Oleg Kharitonov.



I was born in Russia and live in Moscow.

I did exhibitions, was engaged in advertising and real estate.

I have a son and I have a daughter.

I have a lot of responsibilities, problems and obligations.

I have nothing to go on a long trip around the world.

I will leave in the summer of 2014 and return in the fall of 2016.

Now, to leave, you need to do a lot.

I will have to completely turn everything in my usual life. And do it today. "

So I wrote on Facebook in the fall of 2013.



I left Moscow on August 20, 2014.

The idea was to see the whole world. The best way to do this is by bike.
Nine months have passed from my dream to the start.
I nurtured this idea for three months and prepared for the launch for six months.
The last three months before the start were the hardest for me.

When the idea arose, I made a list of what you need for a round-the-world trip. There were many items in the notebook, the most important of them were:
1. Motorcycle
2. Bicycle driving license
3. Money (a lot of money)
4. Ability to manage enduro (I wanted to ride where there are no roads)
5. Knowledge of English
6. Long-distance travel experience
7. Outfit
And another 500 different items.

When the list was ready, I added + to what I already had. I was able to put only 10 pluses in front of such items: toothbrush, socks, underpants and a lighter. I had nothing more to go around the world ...

Everything pointed to the fact that my dream is unrealizable. But I didn't believe it.

I really wanted to, and the world turned to face me.
I bought my bike in December and got my driver's license right before I left.
My friends taught me how to ride enduro and I managed to find some money and sponsors.
I managed to complete all the preparations on time, but it was much more difficult than you can imagine.

When I started, I was 43 years old. I will travel all over the world to reach the most remote and wild places.

I plan to travel over 150,000 km and cross 5 continents in 800 days.

My English is very bad, so I translate with Google...))







................

It's like a time machine. It's been 8 years.
This trip completely changed my life. Perhaps it was another life that God gave me.
Then I planned that I would return in 800 days and travel to 65 countries. Everything turned out to be much longer, larger and more complex.
I think my experience will help those who are going to completely change their lives.


To be continued..
