2)Big Ben is not actually called Big Ben
Big Ben is arguably London’s most famous landmark. Surprisingly, it is actually meant to go by the name ‘The Clock Tower’, while ‘Big Ben’ is the name of the bell. Feel free to bore your friends and family with that fact if you ever do a tour of London.3) The Tower of London houses six ravens
Charles II’s ordered for six ravens to be placed in the Tower of London to protect it. Apparently, six ravens are still kept in the tower today and they must remain there at all times due to superstitious reasons. For extra measures, each raven has a wing clipped, they even have a spare raven handy in case one flies away.

A tourist and a traveler are, as you know, different things. And if the first one can be found only at well-known tourist attractions, then the second will never sit out in the coastal bar, and you won’t see it leaning on the Leaning Tower of Pisa for trivial photography. A real trip is a whole philosophy and no five-star hotel will be able to give as many surprises as communication with the natives.
If you managed to escape from a stuffy office for a week or two and go to warmer climes - you do not need to lie on the beach from morning till night, enjoying the legitimate benefits of all inclusive.

Since 2013 - President of the tour operator "Travel Club Mikhail Kozhukhov", which organizes copyright travels around the world.
Mikhail Kozhukhov is the standard of a true traveler, famously balancing on the brink between a moderately extreme trip and an adventure full of dangers in the spirit of Indiana Jones. He, like no other, is just right to give out excellent advice to all novice travelers.
Here are some excerpts from an interview with Mikhail and members of his Travel Club, full versions of which can be found in Kozhukhov’s new book.
It is worth noting that the book, which can be called original memoirs, contains not only excerpts from interviews with Mikhail, but also various notes and different stories about all those adventures that happened in the life of a traveler, including an “scandalous” interview by Soviet standards Kozhuhova with Augusto Pinochet, the famous leader of the military junta of Chile.

Сори только так...
