I finally made it to Serbia and I’m currently in Belgrade. The city is quite interesting; it feels like a blend of European and Russian influences. The first thing that caught my eye was the flowers on balconies and even in the hallway of the apartment I rented. These little details create a special atmosphere and make you feel different.
I was stuck in traffic for about five days and finally reached the Russian checkpoint. I walked up to the officer — it was a woman, a bit strict. She started asking the usual questions: how old I am, where I’m going, where I work. I said I’m a developer.
Early in the morning on September 8, I left the hotel around 5 AM, when the city was still asleep. It was dark and quiet outside, giving a special atmosphere to morning Paris. I walked through the empty and unlit streets to the nearest metro station, which took about 15 minutes. I went down, got on the train, and traveled to Orly Airport.
In this post, I talk about my YouTube channel Walker Story, where you can explore cities and countries through street videos with no interaction with the camera. Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the streets, enjoy the sound of footsteps and the noises around. I have already visited many places: from cities in Russia, Georgia, and Turkey to Europe — Barcelona, Paris, and Rome — and I’ve also traveled to Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. If you enjoy this format, support the channel with a like and subscribe, so I can keep sharing new places and experiences with you.
In 2018 I started traveling actively across Russia, mostly visiting cities near Kazan with my girlfriend. It was a very exciting and interesting time. Being in new places brought not only curiosity but also some adrenaline. Being in an unknown location gave me strange but thrilling feelings. Every trip was a new discovery, with unique experiences and atmosphere.
One of the evening moments in Barcelona is when the city is bathed in soft evening light. Evening Barcelona fills with a magical atmosphere and lights, creating an indescribable feeling of warmth.
