Yarets - First Deaf Person To Make A Round-the-world Trip On A Motorbike Editorial Photo

Vladimir A. Yarets, 74, a native of Minsk Belarus, seriously believes his personality will be by right commemorated in the Guinness Book of world records. Vladimir is the first deaf person to have found determination and courage and set into a round-the-world trip on a motorbike. Currently he has traveled through more than 69 countries and covered the total distance exceeding 302.279 km. The outstanding round-the-world trip was started on the 27th of May 2000, in Minsk, the capital of the Republic of Belarus. After traveling through the whole of Europe, he headed to Morocco and the Canaries. The journey resumed from an exotic point of the world map – Venezuela, whereupon Vladimir visited St Lucia Island and Puerto Rico. A ferry took him and his bike to the Dominican Republic, opening new directions for his trip – Haiti, Jamaica, and Cuba. After that Belarusian adventurer set course to Florida, USA. Covering a country as vast as the States, certainly, took quite a while, however, Vladimir managed to visit every state except for Alaska and Hawaii.
