The Hostel “Metro” in Yakutsk

By bolot | Published: November 15, 2009

I was frequently asked about hostels/small hotels availability in Yakutsk. There are some, and they are different. At long last, I found time and checked a few.

2010 Moto Travel via Yakutia:

- Sibirsky Extreme: Magadan to Mongolia (say "Hello" to Walter from me);
- The Road of Bones: London to Magadan (yeah, pass my greetings to Mike Garbe as well).

PENDING REQUESTS:

- What type of houses do you live in? I've already answered to the question sent from the US via email. Now I am preparing photos of buildings for the upcoming posts.
- What to do and see in Verkhoyansk in winter. Need to fly to Verkhoyansk and see myself.
- Digging the evidence of Lillian Alling's living in Yakutia. She was the woman, who crossed the Bering Strait from Alaska to Siberia in 1920s. A very hard task. Working on it.
- Searching a Yakut artist, who can design the brand label for a Canadian fish-factory. Didn't find a person, who was brave enough for international cooperation.
- Writing about the life of Canadian wood buffaloes in Yakutia. Gathered a lot of data, but I am so slow in writing that. Too much info.
- How to fly from the US to Yakutsk? The best route? Via Seoul, South Korea. Asking friends for more tips.

I am doing all the above-mentioned things voluntarily.
