“Sergei Chikachev” (soon to be much much more famous), who is
a friend of mine…
Background information on Sergey Chikachev:
Sergey (also spelled Sergei) Chikachev is a worldwide traveler from Russia. Not a tourist.
13th August 2004 he started an around the world expedition, hitch hiking and walking, from Moscow.
He has successfully passed non-stop through Mongolia (include 10 days walking trip trough desert Gobi), China, Laos, Thailand, West Malaysia (include Sarawak and Sabah provinces, called as Borneo), Singapore, Indonesia (include islands: Batam, Java, Kalimantan, Sumatra, Bali, Lombok, Sulawesi, Maluku, Gesir, Kasiui, Gorong, Sanana, Banda, Ambon, Ternate, Halmahera, Irian Jaya, Papua New Guinea, East Timur, Tibetan region, Nepal, India etc.)
During travelling he writes his own book and articles for one of the most popular newspapers in Russia “Arguments and Facts” (www.aif.ru) which is published in 62 countries with a circulation of near 3 MILLION copies. He does freelance travel writing for them.
His main aims are:
• To study modern life, culture, peoples customs and the history of different countries of the world.
• To experience human survival under extreme conditions.
For example, when walking through the savage Gobi desert after his water supply was over in 3 days, he had to extract water with the help of the sun using a special method. He also passed among the oldest (150 millions years) and deepest jungles of the world called as “Taman Negara”, situated in the north-east part of west Malaysia, another extreme jungle on Sarawak (Borneo) in the direction Long Lama-Long Seridan-Batu Lawi-Bario which was 18 days non-stop walking (more then 200 kilometers walk). In Kalimantan Sergei had the greatest experience of surviving with local Cannibals.
He says his next difficult place for survival will be Antarctica (South Pole) where the fixed temperature is above -82 Celsius. It is expected that the expedition will take 3 more years. He has a lot of experience in travel, since 1996. In the last 12 years he visited more then 40 countries. He had been in Europe, America, Asia, and Australia.
This expedition will cover many countries of the world and ALL 6 (or 7) continents (include Antarctica).
This expedition goes on without any special funding. On the way in different countries he stays, finds work and earns money for his round the world trip. For example, as of my writing this article, he is at my place in Mumbai working various small roles in Bollywood (the Indian Film industry) every other day making between $25 to $50 per day.
The says the people in his country regularly read his articles and are educated thus. The most important thing is that they read true and factual information about real life in different countries of the world.
Sergei goes hitch hiking free of charge using transport like cars, trucks, planes, ships, helicopters etc all for free.
Why? He says, because if any car/truck moves in same direction he wants to go, and the driver is ready to pick him up, then what’s the need to pay!? Also “during the ride we can communicate with each other and I can also get a lot of useful and interesting information and facts for my publications”. Hitch hiking is a very popular method to travel in Russia, Europe, Canada, Australia etc.
He also never stays in hotels and guest houses, because when staying with local people at their homes, he can learn much more and experience culture first hand.
During his trip in various different countries he meets with journalists of the most popular Mass media: TV channels, newspapers, magazines and informs them about his expedition.
