Here it is - the real path to adventure. Not some template track where everything is pre-planned, but a living space filled with reports, photographs and personal experience. Dmitry Kovinov has created a corner for himself on the Internet, where each story is as if you had walked this route together. True, it is not always easy to understand where exactly it leads, because everything here is like in life: a little chaos, a lot of emotions.
Website www. kovinov. com is, first of all, an author's travel blog, but if you think a little deeper, it is more than just a magazine. This is a repository of memories, advice, unrequited emotions from the mountains, a heavy backpack and moments when you stand at the top and understand - yes, I did it. There are no rush ads, no clicks for income. Only honest stories from real life.
Travel is the main flow of information. From the Caucasus to Africa, from the Moscow region to Siberia. One section - the Caucasus [103] - speaks for itself. It’s not just a number, there are hundreds of hours on the road, thousands of steps on stones, raging rivers and snow that can only give you the answer through fatigue.
And there is also something here that many people forget: stories about equipment. Not just bought, used, thrown away. No. Here are reviews of new equipment, tips, analysis of what works and what doesn’t. And this is important. Because if you are planning your first long trek, it is better to learn this from a person who has worked in sales of travel equipment for almost twenty years. Yes, he has the right to his opinion. He will even tell you straight out that some things are complete nonsense.
He writes that photography is his second passion after the mountains. This is not just a phrase for the sake of beautiful text. In the Photos section you can find the best shots from your hikes. Dark shadows, sunrises over the peaks, small details of the backpack that no one notices, but which speak more than ten paragraphs. Every photo is like a part of history. Sometimes it seems that a photo lives its own life, and even without words conveys what cannot be expressed in words.
Interestingly, the site not only shows travel. There are also New Hikes and Travels, where the release dates of new materials are marked: 07/23/2025, 06/10/2025 This means that the blog is alive. That the author is still walking. That he didn't stop. But this is already a lot.
The idea of creating his own website came to him back in 2003. Much time has passed since then, but the goal has remained the same - to share what I have accumulated over the years. There are now more than two hundred entries on the site. Two centuries? No, two hundred. But almost as many kilometers as he walked. Yes, he has records: the northernmost route, the highest, the longest route. And they are all reality.
Perhaps you are thinking: why all this? Why talk about all this? Maybe just so that someone will read it and say: I can do it too. For someone to take a backpack and go. Because this is how real adventures begin. Not from a video, not from an advertisement. From one simple reason why not.
The site also has a section About the site - there is a little biography, a little personal. He tells how it all started with photographs, how tips were then added, how over time a portal was formed where you can find not only reports, but also useful links, ideas, and inspiration. This is not just a blog. This is a system. Where every part is connected.
