Join me on a tour through Russia – the largest country on Earth. This course will take you from the megacity of Moscow, over the Ural Mountains down into the seemingly-unending taiga forests. From there we’ll dive into Lake Baikal, the deepest freshwater lake on Erath, where fish made from mostly oil mix with the only freshwater seals in existence. We’ll trek the wilds of Siberia in search of wild animals and end in Kalmykia, the only predominantly Buddhist society in Europe.
