Total lockdown in 2020 gave us the opportunity to see our guide job from another view. Since all my tours were cancelled I took my lovely wife and dog to my favorite spots. We checked villagers where I usually stop with guests for accommodation. Together with guesthouse owners we were remembering tourists from 2019, shared our meal and vision for 2021. No one knows exactly what is going to happen for travelling in next year, but locals are optimistic in their forecasts. And I totally understand them. This year was really hard for all of us. But on the other hand, it was really cool for nature and wild animals. And this is evidenced by multiple videos from national parks where wild animals walk freely and enjoy the absence of humans. It’s freedom of a quieter world.

Of course, I really miss the tours. I miss telling the stories about Kazakhstan, its history, mountain trekking, and wild animals watching. I miss the stories about the traditions and history of nomads, the history of my people and my family. I believe that the coronavirus will end soon and we will go on an unforgettable journey across Kazakhstan and whole Central Asia.

This year I have devoted myself to exploring new routes. I have traveled hundreds of kilometers to get new impressions. So that in the future tourists will discover Kazakhstan from the other side.

And as I always say to my foreign guests – take only memories, leave only footprints
