Marina Pichugin, assistant professor of management, has always been attracted by the trip. Questions about how there was no rest at all - of course , tourism. It was only a change in the method of transportation - their feet on the bike . Over the past two years, Ukraine pilgrim traveled , visited Jordan , Georgia and others. On the way she opened picturesque landscapes, reached mountain rises, gladly welcomed the coast. The teacher has enriched the knowledge of their own history and culture of other nations.
" The first advantage cycling - says an experienced tourist , - significantly increases the distance that can be overcome by the day. However, there are places which are not easy to reach with cycle , but nobody forbids to approach interesting, dismount and climb on a variety of logjam or get into the gorge . And you can ride almost anywhere: in the mountains, the desert, on any grounds, along the sea. Second, pop up the 20- pound bike with 15 kg of luggage - a fun fact, but then a lot of fun to drive down the race with the wind , as every lift must be down . On foot both up and down pull of a backpack for yourself. "
Purely in a feminine Marina thinks about other benefits of cycling. For example , food. Typically , hiking involves relatively limited range : cereals and canned goods . For every kilogram - is extra weight backpack. With all velom easier. No matter how large was bag on the trunk , it is always full. "The struggle for pounds " is only when cycling begins with airfare , airline and sets limits on the amount of cargo .
" It is interesting to see the reaction of others while traveling - Tell ¬ gives more Marina. - In Jordan, where biking to the airport, the guys from the military authorities of even a special cause, could not believe what we just go on your trip. Still remember grandmother in the train , which was adamant that bicycles were put into the car only to harm her health. Although, in general, people react very positively. I admit , it's nice . "
But most importantly for travel, tourist thinks - a team. In fact, it is important not where you go and with whom. In cycling people selected are very interesting , with varied interests : there is a lot to learn. "In addition, - concludes Marina - for me as a teacher is extremely useful to visit a kind of communicative and psychological training, for a few days when human relationships are built and allocated social roles in a team. And is unimportant job , position, salary , etc. - "weight" in the group is determined only by personal qualities and skills . Perhaps this is why almost everywhere I meet our KPI students - current students, and former ".
