@@expatamerican3234 You're welcome. I have had a very unusual and fulfilling life..

I am still able to get my money into Russia.. life is good and the Russian people are absolutely wonderful. The most welcoming and friendly people and culture in the world. I am happy to call Russia my home.
I have not been to Russia.. I have watched a lot of channels non political about life in Russia. It seems a beautiful very under populated country. A wonderful civilians life can be had I would believe if you go there with money and valuable skills. However the government does not treat all member states of the Federation equally and the state some people are left living in in falling down villages and towns, so many towns without even half decent maintained streets. It seems to me that only a small % of the population benefit from the wealth.. When there are so many areas and people needing better care and facilities itsy obscene to be spending billions on genocide in a neighbouring country for no reason other than that the President is on control of everything that happens and for his lifetime by sham elections. I doubt that any foreigner could live well there unless they ignore the brutality of the governing regime or if they tried to object to anything the government does.
I moved form the US and now reside in south western Siberia and couldn't have been happier. My wife is Russian whom I met in the US when both of us used to live there. A few years ago we decided to move to Russia for good and never looked back! Your stories are so relatable.

Wow, talk about when worlds collide. I watch a lot of ex-pats living in Russia. Including ones already mentioned, I also watch Sam's Russian adventures, who is from England and has lived in Russia for about 15 years or so. Someday, I hope to be an ex-pat too. I have always been fascinated with Russia since I was a child. I have always been drawn to Russia. Growing up, I was bombarded with the idea Russia and its people were the enemy, but I was always rooting for them in all the movies in which they were the bad guys. Great video, gentlemen.
I also watched the part with Expat. You know, as a person born in the USSR,, this is amazing how things have changed. I mean, in my childhood I even had doubts you guys existed, so distant and alien our countries felt. And now look at you, living in Russia, and educiting me about some things i've never paid attention to living here. Thanks for the experience 👏
You can replace untraditional with modern American and the point will remain the same. I can't wait to move back to Russia. Left in 2004 when gopniks were on every corner. The country has improved 10fold.
I’ve been watching RUclips videos since about 2008 and THIS video is, by far, one of the most insightful and honest I have ever seen. I’m planning a move to St. Petersburg in the near future and as an American I find your videos both interesting and informative. Thank you.
great! So good to hear people with healthy open minds who broke free from propaganda of hate. One needs to make their own visions of life. Thank you Daniel, and I will check Joseph work on YT. Regards Jana
Regrese a Rusia después de 5 años me quedé 2 meses de vacaciones en 4 dias regreso a Perú y comparado con Latinoamérica me siento como en el paraiso, me gusta todo las ciudades muy seguras a pesar que casi no veo policías, los precios muy accesibles. La descripción que haces de tu hogar cerca de Baikal es envidiable.
Two of my favorite Americans in Russia! A great interview, Daniel. I watch all of your collective videos and enjoy seeing life in both amazing places. I can see why Lake Baikal is so intoxicating and the life there is so easy and pleasant. Major cities like Moscow and Petersburg are just as intriguing and beautiful in a different way. I feel wherever a person wants to live in Russia is a good choice. A better life all around. So glad you got together and I hope you visit each other in person. Will you also interview Kevin (American in Crimea)...he's another great guy. All of you are teaching me so much and I appreciate it.
Guys, I admire you. I know what it means to move with the family to another country and get adjusted there. I sincerely wish you all the best in your Russian life! And talking about safety, I lived in Moscow for 11 years in 70s - early 80s and I remember walking all the way across Moscow at 1 AM and never had to worry about my safety.
Typical brainwashed westerners, have you heard of Sochi and St.petersburg or Vladivostok? Keep dreaming with your empty head … Russia has everything for enjoyment little rat 🐀
"Siberian Freedom" is another one channel for you. They are an Aussie family who moved to Altai district to establish their farm. Not so far from you guys considering the country size :)
Because Russian women - open hart and beautiful. They can do everything… In Canada/US - I met just with few women like that. Best of LUCK to all of you!
Ребята прекрасное видео двух американцев что живут в России, показывая миру как они устроились в России, разрушая стериотипы о народах живущих в нашей стране.... И что харатерно все больше и больше иностранцев хотят переехать в Россию.... В этом интервью не хватало Ларса ..... Всех вас на озера Байкал и летом и зимой и просто приготовить BBQ🍢🍖🔥.. Вы рушите стереотипы западных СМИ и ТВ .... Живя в России и показыааю свою жизнь как она есть .... Спасибо большое ждем новых видео о ваших преключений в России....
Дэн, так радостно видеть, как ты нашёл себя и своё место в России на берегах Байкала. На самых ранних видео ты был каким-то разрушенным, сейчас - заряженный, воодушевленный, энергичный, оптимистичный. Дай Бог счастья!
Thank you very much 🙏🏻🙏🏻 I am Mexican I am a friend of all until they prove to be bad people. It's good to be this way, we say Amigo del amigo... im a friend of the friend. Always be a good person.
I do agree that overall Russian ladies are more suited for traditional families. Somehow, however, I cannot shake off the bitter aftertaste for the Western women, for these, who are traditional, kind and loving. Yes, we are not many but we exist. Нас мало но мы в тельняшках, как Русские говорят.
We count you as one of us. As you see Dan and I come from everywhere culturally and we have settled here not because it is Russia but because of what Russia is.
These thing also change. English has not always been the international language but that one changes so slow I do not think we will see it. We may see other changes though.
Great to see you both getting on so well as expats one on each side of Russia. If you both link up with Siberian Freedom you’ll get to see the Altai region which is equally as beautiful. John and his family have really progressed since being in Russia from Western Australia. Sabrina has recently gained Russian Citizenship. I envy you all and keep up the great work and videos guys. Спасибо
Emocionante Adalberto, la entrevista que realizaste, es una comparativa de dos épocas y hoy por hoy has logrado emocionar profundamente a tus seguidores y veo tu satisfacción de TRIUNFADOR, gracias Albertinni los quiero mucho 😘
Dan thanks so much for this video, it was presented extremely well. I'm going to be traveling to Russia in the coming month as well and I am in contact with Joseph and I am hoping that I will have the opportunity to meet him during my stay in Moscow at the end of Sep. My wife and I are planning another trip next year starting somewhere in the east and as we make our way west I am hoping to meet up with you at some point as we travel the trans Siberian express and as we go around lake Baikal we get to see you as well. Again thanks and have a great day. Brian
Great interview! Aloha from Big Island to you and your new friends! You guys are spot on about finding a place with family values instilled in culture.
An excellent interview, I periodically watch both channels, an interesting look from the outside at my favorite country! About Baikal and its size - one interesting fact, about 336 rivers flow into the lake, and only one Angara River flows out. So, if you block all the rivers flowing into Lake Baikal, then the water from the lake will flow through the Angara River ... 400 years, the lake is so huge! And I also want to say - Dan, you have a very open look and a kind sincere face, this is something that we Russians really appreciate! Sincerity is always appreciated and respected in Russia. And, by the way, the plans that you announced also pleased me - you are a nice couple with Ksenia and I want you to be able to build your happiness here in Russia, in any case, I wish you that! Good luck with everything here!) God bless you!)
Glad to see people finally getting the message out. I had a great time in Russia with my wife, both in her home city, Barnaul, also Moscow and St. Petersburg were amazing! It's kind of silly, but when Russians talk about Russia, it's seen as bragging, but when Americans talk about America it's just fact. Oh, and it is true, the further north you go in Florida, the deeper the accent. I'm from Hilton Head Island SC. So my accent is so thick you can spread it on bread. Especially Savannah, GA. Please keep up the good work!
@@СимонВизенталь-ы7ьActually we have Russian name that is pronounced exactly like "Xena: Warrior Princess". In Cyrillic it's Зина, that's common although a bit outdated Russian name which is short for Зинаида (Zinaida)
Glad you enjoyed it! I wanted to get answers that would help people understand not only Joseph but the process of assimilation and survival in Russia. before the talk he said I should do my homework and ask new fresh things. I did it in my style 🤣🙏🏻
Really enjoyed your interesting video ! Just found this and the one where you were at train station in deepest winter in Siberia - you are an adventurer ! Looking forward to many more. btw/ just found your channel today from a mention made by Nelli on "Wind from the North" youtube channel. She shares very entertaining videos and interesting observations as she travels around her city and Russia in all four seasons !
Howdy! In western Canada we remove our outside shoes in the house. It's to avoid tracking "politician promises" (also known as bullshit) into the house mostly.
Hello Dan. I saw you on the Expat American channel. And as I was watching you, I was thinking I know this guy. I was searching for videos about Russia awhile back and you video popped up. I remember you said you were for the San Fernando, Sylmar area. Well then you must know were Ross's Liquor Store is on San Fernando Rd. I'm guessing that maybe when you were a little kid you might have gotten your hair cut at Manny's Barber Shop. That was my Dad's Barber shop. I am Manny Jr. My Dad has passed away, but I have a lot of memories of the Barber shop and Mr. Ross
WOW what in the hell! How would you even find such videos being from where we are from! This is an insane comment! RIP to your father and honestly what an unexpected comment please tell me what has you watching such topics! Im going back to Sylmar in November actually.
Hey Dan. Well I want to to retire in a foreign county. I'm 66, America is no longer the country that I grew up in. I don't live in California anymore, I moved to Charlotte North Carolina in 2005. I have been searching for a place to live for about 3 years now. I have narrowed it down to Italy or Russia. I have been using the internet and a lot of RUclips videos. Your video just popped up one day when I was searching for Russian videos. Everything that I have heard from people who moved to Russia from the U.S. love it. Italy is kind of an outlaw of the EU. There is murmurings of Hungary, Italy, and other countries will leave the EU. In 2024 something big is going to happen, something awful is going to happen to the West. I don't want to be here when that happens.
@@mannyb57 t.me/+W7kIU9D2KrRiN2Yy That’s my telegram join it and we can talk. I’ve already helped a man get into Russia and go to Crimea. He’s 62, there’s a lot of things you can do! Please if you’d like just join the telegram I can write to you directly there
Hi, Daniel, great interview ☺️ I wish you guys all the best with your future family with Ksenia, I hope you will soon find your dream house and have many happy years together in Siberia. I watched both videos and you know, when you were talking about in other channel at 16:20 how people ask you about Russian spirit, you are right about many things already after just year living here, it's in many ways about building your character and spirit with going through some hardships together, and about many other things, about the way we treat friendship that you also talked about, and how Russia is in all peoples hearts that all share this Russian mentality while loving and preserving their own national cultures and languages within it along with that, that you mention at 6:20 in that other video. And having close like almost spiritual connection to the land and our nature, our birch trees. It's so heartwarming to see how your eyes light up when you talk about your pride and love for Baikal in this video 🤗 And many other things that you'll discover in your Russian journey in future. And people just ask you that question in hopes to see that part of all that also started growing and taking a place in your heart too and to bond with you on that level with sharing that
Thank you so much for watching and having such a detailed comment! in my videos you can see I am part of this land now. interestingly enough it’s like I was supposed to come here. my ancestors surely are from the baikal area as a native Mexican that I am it’s said that it’s true 😆
@@Wild-Siberia hehe yeah, I think you were supposed to have this path too. And just like you described those people that have different nationalities here and have their own rich culture, but all have Russia in their heart - you are becoming like that too, so people are curious to hear about that experience of that happening in your life when they ask you about that Russian spirit :) I think Latin American people are actually very very close to us in mentality and it's much easier for us to develope close bonds with each other than with US people (while I think they still more like us than Europeans). Your peoples are much more open to outsiders than us and we are weary of strangers as you noticed as historically that's what we had to be with all people coming to attack from all around (which still keep happening it looks). But when you get past that, inside we are very very similar I think. With big family bonds, that we usually keep living with long after we just become 18 and that we keep close all our lives, with strong women, with big hospitality and calm good natured spirit and also knowing how to have good time and have a nice celebration
Seriously. It is interesting to think about where are family line has been and basically where are DNA has been for 1000 of years. What nations and places and parts of history were are ancestors a part of.
New York is very bad right now. Dari Step from Russia applied at 8 American Universities, approved by 7! She had conversations with the Professors and she chose New York. The Professor in New York worked out a good deal for her. She arrived in New York yesterday, starting classes soon to obtain her Masters degree. She's a lovely, bubbly Russian woman. Dan, I've 'seen' Moscow a lot via RUclips. I think your'e living the 'American dream' - in Russia. It's absolutely wonderful where you are. If it was possible, I'd visit you! It's too late for me to visit (I'm 20 years older than Expat) I'm a South African and I don't have an idea how cold it can get there. Obviously in the minus degrees Celsius. My town have borders to two other provinces (you call it States in America.) To reach the other provinces you have to go through mountain passes. Scenery is beautiful. But nowhere near your scenery. Our winters are too short and our summers too hot. I'm so glad for you that you found the place you're happy with - not to mention the lovely woman you met. Do you think you can get your mother to visit you for 3 months? She can teach your then wife how to cook the things you love.
I’m teaching ksenia myself to cook the things I love what I’d love is for my mother to come next year so she can see baikal and see ksenia 😩 i wish for them to meet. you see how beautiful it is here they can go and enjoy nature together what a dream
brilliant!!! another expat to follow to see accurate info on life in Russia, found channel after watching the video you guys done together on mr Ros's channel earlier today. the answer "come to Russia where they have traditional family values" is all you need to sell Russia to me. p.s. hello from Scotland.
Yes , my mum came to the UK from Denmark in the 1950s , my dad came to the UK from Cyprus. And we still celebrate culture from these places . As well as culture from England Scotland Ireland etc . We love Russia. My brother wants to visit next year for the Mayday celebration.
@@expatamerican3234 I was just going to add that I have seen you on other channels, too. And I have seen your wife - she was on Filin's Channel - s Filinom! 🌹
First, we did a video call to meet each other. However, we agreed in so many issues and I like conservative women that are not ideologically brainwashed. I appreciate both of your inputs.
Тельняшка правильная,у морских пехотинцев как раз тонкие чёрные полоски(широкие чёрные полосы у речного,озёрного флота,тонкие голубые-десант и морфлот,широкие голубные-океанский).Мы с американцами ближе чем они думают-обе страны-плавильный котёл культур.Мы,как и вы сначала делаем,потом думаем:раздолбаи,пофигисты,к добрым людям относимся по доброму,не злопамятны,просто люди с верхних строчек Форбс лет 200 назад назначили нас врагами.Здесь как в Маугли:"Вы столько раз говорили мне что я чужак в этих джунглях,что я стал таким,и огненный цветок в моих руках может их сжечь"
I m impressed how quick you became a professionnal youtuber, almost a journalist sometimes. I like specially this kind of interview. There is all kind of new immigrants from the west you could interview. They start business. And Russia will still be rich in 100 years, with all the ressources! It s becoming the country of opportunities. Don t forget that the new iron curtain is from the west only, the rest of world appreciate more and more Russia. Specially because of the family values! the woke ideology is destroying the western culture
I am trying my best I know I am fairly new but IM trying to improve and bring worthy content. I will make interviews and tell stories in time! Thanks for. the support really
Очень советую круиз по рекам, если вы думаете о нем. Мы в этом году плыли всей семьей из санкт петербурга до москвы. Через Валаам, Кижи, Мышкин. Захватывающие огромные озера-моря Онежское и Ладожское, много шлюзов на пути. Мы в восторге! Великолепные виды, масштаб, великолепный пароход с отличным обслуживанием❤
Dan, you and I have a lot in common. We both are from California, both Marines, and both involved with Russia and with Russian women. Well actually my journey-although it started in Russia (St Pete) I actually ended up in Ukraine. No difference though during my time. In my experience, and like you probably have been asked many times...Why Russia and why Russian woman? My answer is always: Because they make my life much richer. They add richness. It's very simple and probably you have this too
I appreciate the observation! Many Canadians comment this and it makes me smile because you guys must have to fight winter every year just like us! So you understand the struggle and you understand how amazing I t feels when theres good days were all outside! Thanks for the support by the comment and view!

Hey Dan, gerade das Interview auf Expat's Kanal gesehen, wo du auf Kamera sagtest, du sprichst deutsch und nicht nur in einem Kommentar. Das müssen wir gleich mal antesten 😄

Russians have сменка when needed. Shoes for indoors that you change to from street shoes. That's what kids do at schools. And in some workplaces. Or in hospitals and some other places you wear бахилы over your shoes. Which is like foot size sort of plastic bags, I don't know how you call them in English. And at home slippers. And it's not just about shoes. We also have clear division between street clothes and home clothes and change to home clothes right away when we come home. Because you sat in that everywhere too just like you walked in all those places in your shoes. And to us our home is like our temple, we keep it clean
Golly, she sure is a gem. Good for you bro. I'm happy for you to have found your soul mate. Slavic girls are fantastic women. They are feminine, industrious and super loyal. She will make a fine wife and mother, no doubt. Godbless to you both 🙏
100% agree with @expatamerican3234 - SPB & Moscow are some of the safest places I've been to and lived. I went on a vacation to California last year - LA & SFO - and was horrified. "What a weird, strange, and dangerous country, this California is, I thought to myself (cities, at least)." How relieved I was to get back to the safety of Russia. Like he said, I'm sure there's crime here. And I see posts of local idiots on Telegram channels, but compared to the violence back home in the US - things here seem like chump change.
This is a really interesting video. It inspires me to make my own channel. I have a girlfriend in Saint Petersburg. And i can relate to everything you are saying
I am happy both of you found love and are happy living in Russia. Not for me however. I travelled as a tourist on the transmongolian railway. Like everywhere I met some good people and some not so good people. Had a few times where I felt people gave me a hard time probably expecting a bribe. I was told it was a corrupt society and I found to often people did not go out of their way to help a stranger. Lake Baikal is a natural wonder, don't think I would want to live there in winter with -30C weather. Most people appear to survive on a subsistence living with many going to Moscow or St Petersburg to find decent work. Life expectancy is low for men, alcoholism appears to be a serious problem as is domestic violence (so much for family values). I would never be willing to give up the freedom to speak out and criticize your government without the fear of being put in prison or poisoned.
Думаю переехавшим можно заниматься небольшим бизнесом по производству кастомных вещей - мотоциклы, спецтехника подготовленная для экстрима. Гаражный бизнес.

You can replace untraditional with modern American and the point will remain the same.
I can't wait to move back to Russia. Left in 2004 when gopniks were on every corner. The country has improved 10fold.
I’ve been watching RUclips videos since about 2008 and THIS video is, by far, one of the most insightful and honest I have ever seen. I’m planning a move to St. Petersburg in the near future and as an American I find your videos both interesting and informative. Thank you.
I appreciate the fact that you are kind I wish you the best I want your plans to go through smoothly!
Thanks! Come see us ;)

Regrese a Rusia después de 5 años me quedé 2 meses de vacaciones en 4 dias regreso a Perú y comparado con Latinoamérica me siento como en el paraiso, me gusta todo las ciudades muy seguras a pesar que casi no veo policías, los precios muy accesibles. La descripción que haces de tu hogar cerca de Baikal es envidiable.
Estoy muy orgulloso de ser parte de esta comunidad. Baikal es una belleza natural y debe ser respetada ;D
Hopefully I can see it one day.
hola carlos! esa ai es tu mujer y es russia? gracias

Two of my favorite Americans in Russia! A great interview, Daniel. I watch all of your collective videos and enjoy seeing life in both amazing places. I can see why Lake Baikal is so intoxicating and the life there is so easy and pleasant. Major cities like Moscow and Petersburg are just as intriguing and beautiful in a different way. I feel wherever a person wants to live in Russia is a good choice. A better life all around. So glad you got together and I hope you visit each other in person. Will you also interview Kevin (American in Crimea)...he's another great guy. All of you are teaching me so much and I appreciate it.
Send us a link to his channel.
Yes everyone has their story influenced by the place in which they settled
Байкал очень сакральное и мистическое место. Думаю Байкал и люди живущие там раскроют вам тайны
Daniel, it 's pleasant to see your smiling faces. Joseph is just happy. I met his channel ' Expat American ' in RUclips. Thank you both !
Thanks for you support!

Guys, I admire you. I know what it means to move with the family to another country and get adjusted there. I sincerely wish you all the best in your Russian life! And talking about safety, I lived in Moscow for 11 years in 70s - early 80s and I remember walking all the way across Moscow at 1 AM and never had to worry about my safety.
Thanks for your story
Yes thats something that is striking new to me is not having to worry so much.
Yes! I cannot wait! 2 California guys in Russia with RUSSIAN BRIDES!!!!

@@JIUNnF что?
Typical brainwashed westerners, have you heard of Sochi and St.petersburg or Vladivostok? Keep dreaming with your empty head … Russia has everything for enjoyment little rat 🐀
You forgot the Sauna😂
"Siberian Freedom" is another one channel for you. They are an Aussie family who moved to Altai district to establish their farm. Not so far from you guys considering the country size :)
Yes I know their channel ask them if they know this one :D
That is coming. I already did a collaboration with their son-in-law and I’m trading emails with them ;)
Because Russian women - open hart and beautiful. They can do everything… In Canada/US - I met just with few women like that.

Ребята прекрасное видео двух американцев что живут в России, показывая миру как они устроились в России, разрушая стериотипы о народах живущих в нашей стране.... И что харатерно все больше и больше иностранцев хотят переехать в Россию.... В этом интервью не хватало Ларса ..... Всех вас на озера Байкал и летом и зимой и просто приготовить BBQ🍢🍖🔥.. Вы рушите стереотипы западных СМИ и ТВ .... Живя в России и показыааю свою жизнь как она есть .... Спасибо большое ждем новых видео о ваших преключений в России....
Traditional family values !! Love that !!
Its what its about not conservative just Traditional like... be loving respect each other and other... such things.
It is a good phrase because you cannot argue with it like you can with political terms.
Дэн, так радостно видеть, как ты нашёл себя и своё место в России на берегах Байкала.

Very good. You want to build your house on a solid foundation. And that includes surrounding yourself with people you can trust.
I do agree that overall Russian ladies are more suited for traditional families. Somehow, however, I cannot shake off the bitter aftertaste for the Western women, for these, who are traditional, kind and loving. Yes, we are not many but we exist. Нас мало но мы в тельняшках, как Русские говорят.
You're an amazing woman, I for one having a Mexican mother believe that all women are strong deep inside they can rise to the occasion of anything.
We count you as one of us. As you see Dan and I come from everywhere culturally and we have settled here not because it is Russia but because of what Russia is.

Thanks for supporting us both ;)
An excellent interview, I periodically watch both channels, an interesting look from the outside at my favorite country! About Baikal and its size - one interesting fact, about 336 rivers flow into the lake, and only one Angara River flows out. So, if you block all the rivers flowing into Lake Baikal, then the water from the lake will flow through the Angara River ... 400 years, the lake is so huge! And I also want to say - Dan, you have a very open look and a kind sincere face, this is something that we Russians really appreciate! Sincerity is always appreciated and respected in Russia. And, by the way, the plans that you announced also pleased me - you are a nice couple with Ksenia and I want you to be able to build your happiness here in Russia, in any case, I wish you that! Good luck with everything here!) God bless you!)
I know all the facts about Baikal thanks for writing many here:D I love this comment thanks for the support
Very interesting
I love your channel dan. good work both of you
I hope you enjoy almost time !
Thanks! What did you think?
Glad to see people finally getting the message out. I had a great time in Russia with my wife, both in her home city, Barnaul, also Moscow and St. Petersburg were amazing!
It's kind of silly, but when Russians talk about Russia, it's seen as bragging, but when Americans talk about America it's just fact.
Oh, and it is true, the further north you go in Florida, the deeper the accent. I'm from Hilton Head Island SC. So my accent is so thick you can spread it on bread. Especially Savannah, GA. Please keep up the good work!

Really enjoyed your interesting video ! Just found this and the one where you were at train station in deepest winter in Siberia - you are an adventurer ! Looking forward to many more. btw/ just found your channel today from a mention made by Nelli on "Wind from the North" youtube channel.

Is howdy a Canadian word? ;)
Hello Dan. I saw you on the Expat American channel. And as I was watching you, I was thinking I know this guy. I was searching for videos about Russia awhile back and you video popped up. I remember you said you were for the San Fernando, Sylmar area. Well then you must know were Ross's Liquor Store is on San Fernando Rd. I'm guessing that maybe when you were a little kid you might have gotten your hair cut at Manny's Barber Shop. That was my Dad's Barber shop. I am Manny Jr. My Dad has passed away, but I have a lot of memories of the Barber shop and Mr. Ross
WOW what in the hell! How would you even find such videos being from where we are from! This is an insane comment! RIP to your father and honestly what an unexpected comment please tell me what has you watching such topics! Im going back to Sylmar in November actually.
Hey Dan. Well I want to to retire in a foreign county. I'm 66, America is no longer the country that I grew up in. I don't live in California anymore, I moved to Charlotte North Carolina in 2005. I have been searching for a place to live for about 3 years now. I have narrowed it down to Italy or Russia. I have been using the internet and a lot of RUclips videos. Your video just popped up one day when I was searching for Russian videos. Everything that I have heard from people who moved to Russia from the U.S. love it. Italy is kind of an outlaw of the EU. There is murmurings of Hungary, Italy, and other countries will leave the EU. In 2024 something big is going to happen, something awful is going to happen to the West. I don't want to be here when that happens.

Wow! I’m just enjoying reading this interaction.
Hi, Daniel, great interview ☺️ I wish you guys all the best with your future family with Ksenia, I hope you will soon find your dream house and have many happy years together in Siberia.
I watched both videos and you know, when you were talking about in other channel at 16:20 how people ask you about Russian spirit, you are right about many things already after just year living here, it's in many ways about building your character and spirit with going through some hardships together, and about many other things, about the way we treat friendship that you also talked about, and how Russia is in all peoples hearts that all share this Russian mentality while loving and preserving their own national cultures and languages within it along with that, that you mention at 6:20 in that other video. And having close like almost spiritual connection to the land and our nature, our birch trees. It's so heartwarming to see how your eyes light up when you talk about your pride and love for Baikal in this video 🤗 And many other things that you'll discover in your Russian journey in future. And people just ask you that question in hopes to see that part of all that also started growing and taking a place in your heart too and to bond with you on that level with sharing that
Thank you so much for watching and having such a detailed comment! in my videos you can see I am part of this land now. interestingly enough it’s like I was supposed to come here.
my ancestors surely are from the baikal area as a native Mexican that I am it’s said that it’s true 😆
@@Wild-Siberia hehe yeah, I think you were supposed to have this path too.
And just like you described those people that have different nationalities here and have their own rich culture, but all have Russia in their heart - you are becoming like that too, so people are curious to hear about that experience of that happening in your life when they ask you about that Russian spirit :)
I think Latin American people are actually very very close to us in mentality and it's much easier for us to develope close bonds with each other than with US people (while I think they still more like us than Europeans). Your peoples are much more open to outsiders than us and we are weary of strangers as you noticed as historically that's what we had to be with all people coming to attack from all around (which still keep happening it looks). But when you get past that, inside we are very very similar I think. With big family bonds, that we usually keep living with long after we just become 18 and that we keep close all our lives, with strong women, with big hospitality and calm good natured spirit and also knowing how to have good time and have a nice celebration
Seriously. It is interesting to think about where are family line has been and basically where are DNA has been for 1000 of years. What nations and places and parts of history were are ancestors a part of.
It was very interesting, thank you so much
Glad you enjoyed it!
It was more interesting than I expected.
Thank you so much for all your videos man. Fellow american veteran here so I can relate a lot and I'm loving the content
Thanks a lot when fellow veterans comment it really motivates me
New York is very bad right now. Dari Step from Russia applied at 8 American Universities, approved by 7! She had conversations with the Professors and she chose New York. The Professor in New York worked out a good deal for her. She arrived in New York yesterday, starting classes soon to obtain her Masters degree. She's a lovely, bubbly Russian woman.
Dan, I've 'seen' Moscow a lot via RUclips. I think your'e living the 'American dream' - in Russia. It's absolutely wonderful where you are. If it was possible, I'd visit you! It's too late for me to visit (I'm 20 years older than Expat) I'm a South African and I don't have an idea how cold it can get there. Obviously in the minus degrees Celsius. My town have borders to two other provinces (you call it States in America.) To reach the other provinces you have to go through mountain passes. Scenery is beautiful. But nowhere near your scenery. Our winters are too short and our summers too hot.
I'm so glad for you that you found the place you're happy with - not to mention the lovely woman you met. Do you think you can get your mother to visit you for 3 months? She can teach your then wife how to cook the things you love.
I’m teaching ksenia myself to cook the things I love what I’d love is for my mother to come next year so she can see baikal and see ksenia 😩 i wish for them to meet. you see how beautiful it is here they can go and enjoy nature together what a dream
I do wonder how the ingredients for corn tortillas could make it regularly to his lake. Maybe this can be a new import business for Dan.
I'm happy 2 watch this video. Kinda great combo of my favourite bloggers performing together!
Glad you enjoyed it!🙏🏻

I m impressed how quick you became a professionnal youtuber, almost a journalist sometimes. I like specially this kind of interview. There is all kind of new immigrants from the west you could interview. They start business. And Russia will still be rich in 100 years, with all the ressources! It s becoming the country of opportunities.
Don t forget that the new iron curtain is from the west only, the rest of world appreciate more and more Russia. Specially because of the family values! the woke ideology is destroying the western culture
I am trying my best I know I am fairly new but IM trying to improve and bring worthy content. I will make interviews and tell stories in time! Thanks for. the support really

Dan, you and I have a lot in common. We both are from California, both Marines, and both involved with Russia and with Russian women. Well actually my journey-although it started in Russia (St Pete) I actually ended up in Ukraine. No difference though during my time. In my experience, and like you probably have been asked many times...Why Russia and why Russian woman? My answer is always: Because they make my life much richer. They add richness. It's very simple and probably you have this too

In Australia we need to wear shoes inside in case we need to fight snakes. It can happen at any moment. They come in through the roof.
Russians have сменка when needed. Shoes for indoors that you change to from street shoes. That's what kids do at schools. And in some workplaces. Or in hospitals and some other places you wear бахилы over your shoes. Which is like foot size sort of plastic bags, I don't know how you call them in English. And at home slippers.
And it's not just about shoes. We also have clear division between street clothes and home clothes and change to home clothes right away when we come home. Because you sat in that everywhere too just like you walked in all those places in your shoes. And to us our home is like our temple, we keep it clean
Sounds like a Gold Rush town where you live in Australia and this is true about the clothes.
Or incase you get into a kicking contest with a kangaroo!

100% agree with @expatamerican3234 - SPB & Moscow are some of the safest places I've been to and lived. I went on a vacation to California last year - LA & SFO - and was horrified. "What a weird, strange, and dangerous country, this California is, I thought to myself (cities, at least)." How relieved I was to get back to the safety of Russia. Like he said, I'm sure there's crime here. And I see posts of local idiots on Telegram channels, but compared to the violence back home in the US - things here seem like chump change.
yea it’s a very obvious difference, major cities in the west are in nature more violent and unsafe
It is so bad in America and I feel bad for kids growing up there.
This is a really interesting video. It inspires me to make my own channel. I have a girlfriend in Saint Petersburg. And i can relate to everything you are saying
That’s awesome!
Videos like that is showing true life of Russia.
I hope this will help stop national hatred.
Yes it makes no sense why anyone would hate an entire nation.
This is why we do what we are doing.
I am happy both of you found love and are happy living in Russia. Not for me however. I travelled as a tourist on the transmongolian railway. Like everywhere I met some good people and some not so good people. Had a few times where I felt people gave me a hard time probably expecting a bribe. I was told it was a corrupt society and I found to often people did not go out of their way to help a stranger.
Lake Baikal is a natural wonder, don't think I would want to live there in winter with -30C weather. Most people appear to survive on a subsistence living with many going to Moscow or St Petersburg to find decent work. Life expectancy is low for men, alcoholism appears to be a serious problem as is domestic violence (so much for family values). I would never be willing to give up the freedom to speak out and criticize your government without the fear of being put in prison or poisoned.
Getting work or starting a business in Russia? How do you do this?
well I’m teaching English as a native speaker through calls basically free lance but you can get a real job if you’ve got a diploma for something
The many profession for foreigners who speak English is English tutoring. The second profession is media. Dan it looks like is doing both ;)
Думаю переехавшим можно заниматься небольшим бизнесом по производству кастомных вещей - мотоциклы, спецтехника подготовленная для экстрима. Гаражный бизнес.
😂 I could have taught the bear how to take off its shoes but I couldn't teach my American husband to do so 😂
Please experience mushroom hunting and berry picking. My relatives live in Siberia forever and they always pickle mushrooms and make jams from wild berries. I love fishing too🥰
If I'm not mistaken, Joseph said that you knew each other in California, is that true?
No we did not :D
We just both lived in Mexican parts of California. I was there from about 1994-2000
