Once, I had the opportunity to visit the Solovetsky Monastery on the White Sea. This place is quite REMOTE from Moscow, roughly 1,476 km away. My companions and I traveled by train, bus, and boat. This holiday is a MEMORABLE one for me. The nature was FASCINATING and the monastery complex was very IMPRESSIVE. I went on tours about the history of the monastery and the GULAG. We visited Zayachy Island, Anzer Island, Botanical Garden, Sekirnaya Mountain, Solovetsky labyrinths. We floated along the canals and saw a lot of crosses.This trip was educational and spiritual at the same time. I attended Vespers and Liturgy at the monastery and venerated the relics of Saint Zosima and Saint Savvati of Solovetsky, which are located in the Trinity Cathedral. I still think about the PICTURESQUE views of the White Sea, UNSPOILT forests and islands, and the churches. It was a UNIQUE opportunity to see firsthand one of the most BREATHTAKING and tragic places in our country, to dive into its history, and to feel its spiritual power.

This summer, I went camping with my family at a recreation base called "Les i Ryba" ("Forest and Fish") in the Astrakhan region, near the Akhtuba River. We stayed there for three weeks. We pitched two tents: a large one for the children and a smaller one for our parents. Our meals were cooked outdoors under a canopy, where we had a table, benches, and an induction stove. Sometimes my parents also used a cauldron over the campfire to prepare dinner.
Most of the time we spent by the river, swimming and resting in the shade. The campsite was safe, with a fence and guards on duty, so we didn’t have to worry about security. The weather was extremely hot, and life in tents was far from comfortable, but the trip was definitely unforgettable. It taught me how challenging outdoor life can be and made me appreciate comfort and cool air much more. (To be honest, I hate this trip)

When I was about 10, I went to a trip to Karelia with my family. We got there on car and PITCHED TENTS in the forest, on the shore of the Lake Ladoga and our second CAMPSITE was on the shore of the Lake Onega. We stayed there for maybe ten days. The children (including me) were helping to prepare food (peeling vegetables, cutting them etc.), and we were cooking food on the campfire. I was playing with my friend whom we took with us, walking on the shore, admiring the BREATHTAKING scenery of the lakes. I don't remember feeling unsafe there and I remember that even when later on we went to the Baltic Sea, our car got stuck at night in the forest, but we somehow met two border guards and they helped us.

My most memorable holidays were two camping trips to the Black Sea in Crimea. I went there twice, and both times we lived in tents just 50 meters from the shore. In fact, it was an interesting experience for me. I had only gone on a mini - camping trip before, and I had only stayed in a tent for one night. However, I had always been interested in camping. I can say that I was not disappointed.
The first time I went, it was a small, friendly group consisting of my brother's girlfriend and her mother. The second trip was a bigger event with my own mother, my brother, his girlfriend, and her whole family—her mom, dad, sister and Boni, their dog. Both times, we stayed for two weeks. First time we spent our holiday in Sudak and the second time was in the village of Shtormovoye.
Setting up our tents so close to the shore was the best decision. We spent most of our time swimming in the warm sea, sunbathing on the beach, playing games on the beach, and covering ourselves with therapeutic mud, which was good for our skin. For meals, we all cooked together on a portable gas stove. It was a team effort, and food always tasted amazing in the fresh air.
Looking back, it wasn't the safest trip. There weren't many other campers around. However, we always felt secure. The place was very quiet and peaceful, and most importantly, we were a large group. Being together made us feel safe and allowed us to enjoy a perfect, adventurous escape into nature.
