The singer spoke in an interview with Sergey Lazareva on vnimanie.pro about his travel preferences, revealing that Kamchatka appeals to him far more than the Maldives. He painted a vivid contrast between the two getaways, noting a clear preference for the rugged, natural beauty of Kamchatka over the glossy, sun-soaked luxury of an island retreat.
In the course of the conversation, Lazarev expressed a strong desire to return to Kamchatka. He explained that his understanding of the Maldives is complete, acknowledging its appeal but describing time on the island as a refined, expensive vacation where little happens beyond rest. For him, the appeal of travel lies in motion, discovery, and new experiences rather than solitude on a sunlit shore.
He emphasized a need for activity and story-rich journeys. According to him, moments on the move, not idle lounging, provide the kind of memory and energy that an artist seeks to gather. The performer conveyed that his trips are often driven by a hunger for places that offer fresh perspectives and chances to encounter unique experiences.
The discussion also touched on travel within Russia. Lazarev noted that the quality of service in the tourism sector has not declined since large foreign operators exited the market. On the contrary, he observed ongoing improvement and adaptation, pointing to a resilient local industry that continues to grow and evolve. This perspective comes from someone who travels frequently and is familiar with the domestic landscape across many regions.
The artist added that he covers a lot of ground in Russia through ongoing tours. He described the challenge of being recognized in every city and explained why international travel sometimes feels easier. Abroad, he feels less conspicuous, which allows him to immerse himself more fully in new locales without constant attention from fans wandering through public spaces.
Nevertheless, Lazarev revealed that Sochi remains a favorite retreat, visited as a tourist twice a year, in both winter and summer. This detail underscores a balanced approach to travel: enjoying both the cosmopolitan hustle of distant destinations and the familiar comfort of a beloved Russian resort when the moment feels right.
Earlier in his career, Lazarev released a music video styled to resemble a Hollywood production, showcasing his interest in cinematic aesthetics and broad, international appeal. The evolution of his visual work mirrors his broader journey as an entertainer who seeks diverse inspirations and opportunities to connect with audiences around the world.
