Travel can be different – someone travels for fun, someone travels because of the peculiarities of work.
Long-distance drivers often travel long distances, some of whom maintain video diaries of their flights.
In July 2020, long-distance driver Dmitry Malash recorded the highlights of his trip to Alaska. He made a mini-series in which it is unobtrusively shown:
- Crossing the border between the USA and Canada.
- Features of roadside nature.
- Adventure on the road.
- Holiday option in Alaska.
Main Route: Quincy (Illinois) – Anchorage (Alaska) – Seattle (Washington).
