Travel as a separate genre of art. When one is attentive and courteous to every kilometer of the journey. When habits change and new things and meanings are discovered. When you breathe deeply and evenly and the music in the car becomes a physical part of you. It's particularly awe-inspiring to see how that once-captured feeling can last a lifetime and stabilize you at different moments.
Any packed suitcase and planned itinerary is an escape from your comfort zone, and thus a personal transformation. To observe how different the everyday lives of people living in neighboring regions of Russia can be and how united we, scattered all over the planet, are. Traveling is a cross-section of time and space, where I am me.
