Fyodor Konyukhov dreamed of becoming a traveler since childhood. His intentions were so serious that for the sake of this lofty goal, he engaged in physical education and hardening, forced himself to comprehend mathematics, which he did not like, and at the age of fifteen, in order to test himself, he crossed the Sea of Azov alone on a rowing boat. Upon returning, he received a scolding from his parents, but was firmly convinced that he had chosen the right path.
In this book the story is told in the first person, Fyodor Filippov himselfch shares with readers the events of his insanely eventful life.
You will read about the collision of his yacht with a blue whale; about how one day his yacht was stolen by pirates, and then he himself stole it from the pirates; about how, shaking an unloaded carbine, Konyukhov asked the polar bear not to touch him, the bear walked around - and did not touch him!
Fyodor Konyukhov is not only a navigator. He conquered the North and South Poles, climbed all the highest peaks of 6 continents, and traveled in a hot air balloon around the Earth.
In the book “How I became a traveler” Konyukhov talks about preparing for expeditions, about oddities along the way, and motivates children to do what they love.
