Evgeny Kaspersky himself prefers quite standard hobbies: he loves skiing, mountaineering, kayaking, and is also an ardent fan of Formula 1 racing (he was even an official sponsor of one of the teams for several years).
“For me, a hobby is a job, and work is a hobby…”
E. Kaspersky
And Evgeny considers his main vk database hobby to be traveling, a love for which he developed back in the years when visiting different countries was more of a duty than just a hobby.
Kaspersky has visited many different parts of the world, from Kamchatka to the South Pole, and regularly tells his readers about his trips in his personal blog. He believes that the further from civilization, the better the tourism.
