Adventure Destination & Blog: Sakhalin Island
Few personal blogs are compelling enough to get me to read more than a few paragraphs, but this one had me clicking on links all over the place. White Sun of the Desert belongs to a british guy who met an Uzbek woman while visiting Dubai, married her, and now lives in Sakhalin Island in far eastern russia. You can read all about the adventure with plenty of photos and fascinating descriptions of far-flung Russia, which is currently undergoing a staggering oil boom.
In fact, it sounds like Sakhalin could be quite the adventure destination, as long as you don’t mind laying out quite a few rubles. Boomtowns don’t come cheaply. But what is there to do in an oil-rich Russian Island? Well, if you’re boned up enough on your Russian, you can start here to learn about the Sakhalin Snowboarding Community.

Hi,
Many thanks for reading and writing such a good recommendation. I’m glad you like my blog.
Can I just ask you make one small correction? My wife is Russian, not Uzbek (I suspect the confusion comes from one of my stories in which I was involved with an Uzbek). I met my current wife sometime later, although still in Dubai.
Many thanks,
Tim Newman
