Traveling to Kazakhstan is a real adventure, full of amazing natural landscapes, the hospitality of local residents and the variety of tastes of national cuisine. This country, located at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, has absorbed the influences of a variety of cultural and religious movements. For millennia, this land was inhabited by nomads grazing cattle in the spacious valleys near the rivers and among the picturesque foothills.
    In literal translation, the word “Kazakh” means “free man”, which means that Kazakhstan is a country of freedom-loving people who live in peace with their neighbors and are proud of their history. As a separate state, the Republic of Kazakhstan appeared on the geopolitical map of the world in 1991, after the collapse of the USSR. However, for many centuries the Kazakh people cultivated their own unique values, followed the traditions accepted since ancient times, nurtured their cuisine, music, folk dances... local life.Why is it worth coming to Kazakhstan?
     Kazakhstan is one of the largest and most influential countries in Central Asia. The progressive leap in the development of the state was largely due to the discovery of oil fields. However, the tourism sector is also actively developing in the country. Kazakhstan has something to impress even the most experienced tourists. So, here are a few reasons that motivate you to visit this amazing region with rich cultural traditions and amazing natural landscapes.    The current capital of Nur-Sultan is also rich in impressions. Here you can visit the largest mosque in Central Asia - Khazret Sultan - a majestic building with high minarets directed to the sky. Visit "Khan Shatyr" (literally translated from Kazakh - "Tsar Tent") - a shopping center built in the shape of a giant tent, which is the largest tent in the world. Before you set off to explore the reserves and national parks of Kazakhstan, in Nur-Sultan you can have a good time on a boat trip along the Ishim River. Here you will also have a great opportunity to learn more about the traditional cuisine of Kazakhstan at interactive culinary master classes.    The national parks of Kazakhstan are preserved, pure nature in its original form, amazing places where you can merge with the surrounding space and enjoy magnificent views and landscapes, study the flora and fauna of the region. There are 13 national parks in Kazakhstan, located in different parts of the country: in the east, southeast, in the central part and in the north of the country. Therefore, in whatever city of Kazakhstan you find yourself, you can always quickly get to stunning natural locations with mountains, lakes, forests, valleys and rivers.    In Kazakhstan, you can raft down a turbulent mountain river or go falconry, visit numerous sandy deserts or ride ice on a high-mountain skating rink among snow-covered ridges and peaks. Here you will try Kazakh, Russian, Uzbek and Uighur cuisine, feel the excitement of bargaining for souvenirs in local markets and capture the highlights of your trip in dozens and hundreds of photographs.

Have you ever thought about going on vacation on credit or in installments? This is an absolutely normal practice, which is used in many countries. We will tell you about its intricacies so that you can evaluate the expediency for yourself. We think you will agree that every person needs to go on some kind of trip at least once a year to change the situation. At the same time, we take a break from ordinary life and gain strength for new achievements. But how can you go on such a journey when you literally live “back to back” in finance all year?

The content of the article Why is collecting money for vacation difficult? This problem is known to many, because no matter how high your income is, “there is never a lot of money.” During the year, most often there are more important material purchases than emotional ones. For example, we buy not only food, but also personal hygiene products, clothes, or even make quite large investments in new furniture or a service we like. Of course, this is not without the help of advertisers - signs and commercials are quite densely eaten into our memory to make us buy this or that product.In general, there are quite enough barriers to accumulating money for vacation. But since, as we have already found out, everyone needs to diversify their lives, we want to tell you about what opportunities exist for relaxing on credit or by installments.Method number 1: Loan for vacation in a travel agency If you are going to purchase a tour from a certain travel company, it is likely that it also issues loans. In this case, this organization simply cooperates with any bank. At the same time, you can arrange a vacation on credit, right sitting in a travel agency - you do not need to run around the banks and collect another set of documents.There are many examples of such a merger - tourism and banking. This allows customers to arrange tours in installments in just half an hour with a low credit rate. In addition, often the down payment is quite small (10-30%), which allows you to purchase a trip without additional preparation.Method number 2: Quite often, they choose the option of registering a vacation on credit using a credit card. Of course, this method has its advantages: if you issue a multicard, then you can also pay for goods abroad with this money. You will be surprised, but even the smallest shops in Europe accept non-cash payments - otherwise you can save yourself from withholding a commission.Why is a vacation in installments considered a logical solution? Since a lot of people still stop at buying a ticket in installments, we decided to identify the main reasons that encourage this: Collecting funds for vacation is a long time. The loan amount is often relatively small. The ability to repay the loan amount in a short time is quite real.Indeed, in practice it turns out that it is more convenient for people to give money for a loan when they know for sure that it is “needed” than to save money on their own and, whenever possible, spend it from there on other random purchases. In the end, it remains to choose only the most suitable option for you.

If you love comfortable hotels and are not ready to give up the amenities for the sake of a dream - this article is not for you. The advice is simple: work long and hard, and one day you may be able to save the amount needed for the trip. For others who are not looking for easy ways, we will tell you how to travel the world without money or with a minimum of them.Let's start with the bad, but quite predictable, news: it is unlikely to make such a trip without a penny. There are two cost items that cannot be saved. The first is visas. Of course, you can ask a truck driver you know to smuggle you across the border, but firstly, it will create a number of obstacles during your illegal stay in the country, and secondly, we prefer legal means of saving.The second is health insurance. Before you travel around the world, you need to clearly understand that this activity is very adventurous, and often dangerous. Abroad, very expensive medical care, and if something happens - your family will have to spend a fortune on your treatment. This may include the necessary vaccinations if you are going to potentially dangerous countries.On this we tie up with the bad news and move on to the positive. Any trip costs three whales: transport, housing, food. We will dwell on each of them in detail, considering both extreme ways of saving and conventional ones that do not involve a complete waiver of money.Transport on the go The most "free" mode of transport in the world is hitchhiking. There are nuances, but for hardcore tourists - that's it. For those who do not want to rely on chance, you can look for fellow travelers on services like blablacar. Bicycle is the choice of hardy travelers who are in no hurry. Fortunately, European countries have all the conditions for cycling.The bus is an inexpensive mode of transport, suitable for short journeys between cities. Carefully study the route and ticket prices. It often happens that the price of tickets for "transfer" tickets will be much lower than for a direct flight. The train is also inexpensive, especially if you book tickets in advance. It is better to choose night flights, in which, if you are lucky, you can sleep, saving at the same time and housing.Housing for rent Camping.In any tourist city you can find a hostel - an inexpensive hostel, where there is everything you need. There are many international volunteer organizations that will be happy to accept active young people who want to travel while helping other people or the planet. Housing, road, food - all inclusive. You have a chance not only to travel the world, but also to make it a little better.Food on the go Forget about restaurants on the tourist streets. Speaking of expiration date. Have you heard of dumpster diving? This is a relatively new movement that is struggling with overproduction of food by removing food thrown away by supermarkets from garbage cans. So, if hunger or the desire to travel overcomes the feeling of disgust - you can "slash" under a conscious inhabitant of the planet and dig a little edible in the trash behind grocery stores.When traveling in the countryside, do not miss the free gifts of nature in the form of wild apple trees, pears, plums and other fruits and vegetables. In addition to saving on food, it is also vitamins. Always carry a bottle of water with you and fill it at every opportunity. It is impossible to get a drink - pour tap water, pre-boil for a couple of minutes and allow to settle.

 How much does it cost, where to ride, what to do?

Where is Bukovel Ski resort Bukovel is one of the nearest and accessible for Belarusians. Silichi and Logoisk do not count. Ukraine is very close. The distance from Minsk is 850 km. Approximately 12 hours of travel. Every winter, thousands of lovers of mountain trails spend time doing their favorite pastime. The winter has been warm this year. Many ski resorts in Europe were left without snow. But this is not about Bukovel. Even at the end of February, when the first spring flowers began to bloom in Belarus, there is snow in Bukovel and 60 out of 66 available slopes are open.The history of the trip to Bukovel Artur, an employee of the Rosting company, was going to Bukovel for a whole year. This year, with a group of friends, he visited the resort and shared his impressions. -Last year, friends told how cool they went to Bukovel to ride. After listening to their stories, I also got excited about the idea. Before that, I had been to Logoisk a few times. You can't really call it skating. And I really wanted to.Therefore, in November last year, I gladly accepted the offer to go to Bukovel at the end of January with friends who go there year after year. The guys are proven, reliable and experienced. So I'm lucky with the company!
    My friend and I took it for three days, as we planned to take skiing lessons at the resort. And the price of training already includes the cost of using the lift. It's profitable. The guys who bought on the spot had to activate the package and ride for three days in a row, without the possibility of transferring days.

    The choice of hotels is great. And everything seems good (if you believe the ads and descriptions presented on the sites of reservation systems). But at the same time, not all hotels will suit you in reality, if you do not pay attention to some points.

The information below implies that the pre-selection of accommodation options has already been carried out, that is, the obviously unsuitable options have been discarded with the help of filters, the remaining ones are sorted by price, and you begin to consider them in detail.
