"Пътешествията са пътища към чудесата, щедро разпръснати по нашата планета, а някои хора пътуват и отвъд нея. Аз съм пътник и скитам по света в търсене на чудесата - онези прелести, които ни оставят без дъх и остават в паметта за цял живот. Пътувам от 1976 - близо половин век. Започнах като студент, после като алпинист, търсещ далечни върхове и стени. Границите се отвориха и тръгнах по света в търсене на тези прелести. Публиката е запозната с мои пътеписи: двете книги за Япония, пътеписи в списанията Съвременник, ГЕО, National Geographic, Моето пътуване, Вокруг света, The Explorer, в сайтове за пътеписи. Бил съм в ... |
