- We've spent more than the entire day on a train with our toddler Agatha on our way from Central Russia to the South. That was quite an adventure! I wanted to show you what we've been doing there for such a long time and also to show you little details of Russian trains from the inside 🚂
Thank you for watching!💛

Agatha is absolutely a precious little girl.
I think she looks a lot like her daddy but she does look a little like you also.
I was on a train for 16 hours already and that was enough for me. I cannot imagine being on a train for 29 hours with a toddler. God bless you. Your patience is amazing.🌻🍂🍁
Super interesting to see & learn about facilities & services available on long distance trains travelling to Kuban region of Southern Russia. Thank you. 😀
She is super cute and looks like she is not too much (but understandably, at night, everything becomes too much and yet they don’t want to sleep. We call this: being crotchety. I think it explains exactly what it feels like. A bit like hangry = hungry and becoming angry with it. No real food on this long journey would have made me hangry). 😳😬

I love seeing how other people travel in other countries. Agatha putting her backpack on like a purse was so adorable!
Your videos are always so fascinating! Things are different, but so much is the same. We have so much in common around the world ❤️
I agree! My past perception of Russia doesn't match what I'm seeing on RUclips. Makes me wonder what's behind the negative propaganda that tends to linger in America. Russian people are more like us than they are different.
well said 💕
@@houndlover870 as an American who lived in Russia for a year, I will say this. First, the people are some of the nicest you’ll meet. They don’t smile at each other in the fake American way, but when you talk to them you’ll find their kindness. They have very little but will literally give you everything they have. Most are not fond of their government but have come to accept they don’t have much say in the matter. Americans could really learn from them on how to live life while accepting their government is shit. There is a lot of corruption in Russia at all levels but at least their honest and upfront about it unlike we are. At the end of the day though, we have more in common as people then what separates us as countries
I love how little kids are exactly the same anywhere you go around the world. They just want to learn, explore & play.
This type of cup was very common here in Brazil in upper class homes. They were super expensive and made of silver and all. Beautiful cups!
Same with Iran and I’m sure very many other tea drinking cultures! I love them and we have some from over 150 years ago in my stepdads family. They are so special to me 💕🧿
@@foli3amoi Wonderful!! We are all about coffee here in Brazil!
Hi dear
You and your husband deserve a medal for entertaining a toddler for 29 hours! It was a very interesting journey.
Its lovely Agatha had other children to play with.
This oddly comforting to me.
You definitely have a russian soul, then. ✨✨✨😍🤍💙❤️
As a mother of seven and grandmother of nine I know about little kid's energy drainage. Travelling is also an adventure for them, which makes it always more difficult to get them ready for sleep. But, as you experienced, they truly are tired and just don't know how to settle in adventurous times.
My tip: I got a specific blanket for each child, while they were babies, with a specific pattern and had them sleep on it every night (or day). This way it was easy to take it along while traveling or staying over at friends house. Just the sight of the familiar blanket would signal them "bedtime" and "home". Another trick would be if kids are used to sleep in their stroller...
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, you guys are the cutest family ever! Agatha is a very lucky little girl to have such wonderful parents, and you and your husband are very lucky to have such a beautiful daughter. Thank you for sharing your train ride, I loved it!
Vika, I never imagined myself traveling in a Russian train, but after watching your video, I feel like I have taken this amazing trip myself and have learned a lot. Thank you for sharing all of the details of this adventure. Really loved the video and as usual, great to see you, Tolya and Agata making memories together.
Your lack of train food reminded me of one Christmas when I was younger. My grandparents lived in Ohio in the USA and I live just outside of NYC. We were driving home after christmas one year and we got stuck in a blizzard. The snow was so bad we could hardly see the salt truck in front of us. We followed the truck off the road to a hotel where we spent the night. We had not planned on stopping so we didn't really have food. Thank goodness we had gone for mexican food the night before and my parents took the leftovers home. We had leftover mexican food and snacks from the vending machine for dinner. Sometimes you just make do with what you have even if you planned ahead. Sounds like you got some food in the end. :D
4 thumbs down I see, I mean really, a thumbs down on this video? Negative people are strange. Thank you Vika for your wholesome content, a relief in today's world. 😘
The dislikes are from 4 people who wanted to buy a ticket for that train but, too late, it was all sold out 🤷🏻♀️
Because we all know that disliking a video can make you travel back in time, get those tickets and be there😅🤦🏻♀️ Боооооже мой...
Update on original comment posted over a month ago:
Today as I ran across this video again, I noticed now zero
dislikes! Don't know how that works but that's a good thing! 👍🌻
I wish we had more passenger trains in America.
Never been on a train like this.
My parents travelled on the Amtrak they loved it coz they could see more of the US. What happened to trains in the US? Love from 🇮🇪
@@Grace-hh2zh The automobile industry and their lobbyists killed off trains and other mass transit that competited with cars. I'm 71 and remember traveling around the US in the 1950s and 60s in trains.
Back in the 80s we had many passenger trains and as a young adult I traveled allover the US,I’m not sure why they were phased out,they were great!
There are still 30 different train routes in the US…i think they are still running, not sure. One of these is a cross country train. I took a train from NY to Montreal, great and relaxing.
@@sjbock that sounds like so much fun! I have only rode on trains in big cities.
What a great way to travel and see the countryside. Looks like Agatha enjoyed the train.
And I have to say the noodles in the dark made me laugh. I have four children, all grown now, and can't imagine 29 hours with a toddler!
O, yes, the noodles in the dark were really funny )))
As soon as I saw it I paused the video thinking: this moment deserves to become a photo in a frame and decorate their new home 😍😍😍😍😍😍
_Noodles in the Dark_ The musical 😜💜💜💜💜💜
Firstly, I love how parents always say "bye bye" to everything when they have kids. No matter the country, everyone does it and the little wave...so cute.
Secondly, what kind of tea do you drink?
It was just some black tea☺️
I was a medical student in St peterburg Russia pavlov University..in 1991 to 1999..Thank u for your videos..Good memories..blessed country and bless u and family
You’re both such wonderful parents… Agatha is obviously interested in everything.. everyone… she’s learning so much through her outgoing personality! Happy and stress free transition into your new home!
I was born and grew up in Romania and everything about this train ride felt like home! Thank you for such a lovely video
I was just thinking that they are almost the same type of trains. Although, I feel like the Russian ones are so much cleaner! And better maintained. CFR is a mess lol
Avem și alte companii, nu numai c.f.r. dar da sunt asemănări
That's typical of small children. Any disruption to their normal routine and they don't want to go to bed. It was interesting to find out about the different types of train as we don't have open sleeping compartments here in the uk and I'm glad you finally made it home. 😁👍❤
Agatha when she got her present and was all excited was sooooo sweet 😍😍♥️♥️♥️. I re-watched it a few times and it actually brought tears to my eyes. That childhood innocence is so touching 😥.
Thank you! The train looks so fun. My 7 yo daughter says "hello, I liked the baby. I liked seeing you being happy" :)
I’m a BIG fan of train travel and it was so fun to go along on your trip with you! Agatha is the cutest little thing and I’m glad she made friends along the way. Glad you arrived safely and we’re all excited to see your new city and home! 😀😀😀
I just got home after 2 trains. Omg, I would never take them again. It’s so hard to fall asleep there. And even when I was out of the train, I could feel like I still was there. My brain or my body, I don’t know, felt like that.
I am from NY and had travelled by train in Ukraine for 18 hours from Kiev to Odessa. It was so fun! I loved it and I slept so well. Thank you for sharing your adventure!
This is my favorite video so far. I love learning about Russia. I wish that more countries had reliable passenger train options. I've travelled extensively with toddlers, it's a little stressful but also a lot of fun. Agatha seems like such a joy. Congratulations on moving back to your warmer city with your beautiful family.
I remember (from long train travels as a child) seeing russians in pyjamas walking around train stations. My family used tea glasses too. Much simpler and cheaper ones... Thank you for sharing.
Such a neat video! Can’t wait to see a tour of your new home.
Just constant smiling from you & your husband, love it 💚
Beautiful family x
What a lovely adventure 💛 Agatha is so well behaved and adorable. 😊
Agatha is adorable and I’m sure she helped to distract everyone from the long journey. Travelling with a toddler is always challenging. I remember doing it with my girls when they were younger. I live in Australia but was born in Scotland and before the pandemic e used to go to the UK and Europe at least once a year. You reminded me of an overnight train trip to Warsaw we did a few years ago. We assumed there would be a food car or cafe on the train but didn’t check. It made for a very hungry evening but fortunately we arrived early the next morning. It wasn’t too bad for us but would be dreadful with a toddler so I’m glad you found something to eat.
Discovered your channel recently. Absolutely LOVE your videos. Although I've watched many vlogs from Russia in the past, I've never seen anything like your ones. You manage to paint not just a wonderful picture of your own lovely family, but also of Russia. Thank you for giving us this window into your world. Best wishes from Ireland.
This video brought back memories of train travel with my children in eastern Canada 50 years ago. I can feel your fatigue but you and your husband are still smiling. Love all your videos!
In Turkey, you can call a restaurant in the arriving city to order kebab to the station even if the train doesn't stay at the station long. You can quickly take your order and pay. Im so glad to see you came very close to my country.
I used to take the train often as a child with my mom and sister to visit our grandparents. It took about 6 hours to get from coastal New England to Pennsylvania. It was like airplane seating but facing each other!
Amtrack?
@@sugar2th173 yep! many many years ago I’m not sure if the cabins have changed since then!
@@sharonmaire My grandparents moved to Florida from New York when I was 7. My mom decided to take the train. 1974. They had bingo and activities to keep you busy. I won an Amtrak mug. I was sooooo excited. It was the first time I won anything. I also caught chicken pox on that train, which turned a two week trip into a month. Those were the days, being waited on hand and foot by my mom and grandma.
Love to watch your vlogs. Mother is really beautiful, Agatha is so cute and dad of the family is handsome. Lovely family. I have a pair similar tea cups. Bought 1990 when I traveled from Helsinki to Moscow. I love Russia. Perhaps I have a slavian soul and that's why I love it.
Once I hop your channel, I find it hard to hop off. Travelling with a toddler - Thankfully Agatha is a sweet natured and agreeable little girl. Not surprisingly, she won't go to sleep as scheduled when you're not in your schedule. I'm sure you guys did nothing but nap every opportunity you got for the first week after arriving at your destination. Blessings to you!
I have been looking for cups like that for coffee. None in the U.S. That is a long trip with a child. Like the 2 bed compartment. Alway happy to see a new video.
OMG your husband’s T-shirt says “Big Boss” but it’s the English words written in the Cyrillic alphabet! 😄 Love it!
The open conception compartment will be such fun for school kids going to vacation camps. Train looks all together very nice. I love trains in general, yes it’s much slower transportation but with the right company it’s quite fun.
The best part... when the baby sleeps and the parents enjoy a late-night hot meal :)
I was on a Russian train once from Bucharest Romania to Sofia Bulgaria. It was very similar. I had own compartment and I didn't know where to find the hot water for tea! No one spoke English and they kept checking my American passport all through the night. It's nice to see you all having a good trip. Agatha is having fun.
Seeing as Bucharest is Romania & Sofia is Bulgaria - how cone it was a 'russian train'?!
You are the sweetest couple. Agatha is very cute waiting to hear about a sibling. Best wishes
From the UK here. I travelled on an overnight train from Moscow to St Petersburg and then three days later went back again.
Was a wonderful experience. We stayed in a carriage and so it was bunk beds with no doors.
I love trains! I've done an overnight train a couple of times and I really enjoyed it. One time it was between Moscow and St Petersburg when I visited Russia. I'd like to do a longer train journey like this one day.
I took 2 trains a week ago. It’s so hard to fall asleep there!
@@Natashanjka - You think so? I feel just the opposite. The train movement and the click click of the tracks. I find is soothing.
Hope you are having an enjoyable weekend!
@@dinglebarry528 exactly that moving and that click click didn't let me fall asleep. And thank you for your wishes. Same to you.
@@Natashanjka Thank you.
I'm so happy you are documenting your moving journey!! Super interesting, keep up the great content!
Brings back memories of backpacking in Europe and splurging on a sleeper car. I suppose we would call the cup holder a cup holder! And those unhealthy but tasty noodles Ramen noodles. What a lovely family you are. Watching Agatha makes me nostalgic for my now grown daughter. Welcome home.
Wow, you guys are brave, taking a 29-hour train ride with a toddler! At least you were doing it together. I guess there was just no other way around it for you to decide to take the train like that. But it was interesting to see how things are alike and different in the types of trains. I haven't yet traveled one cross country in the US to have a comparison, and I don't know if any of ours would take 29 hrs. I'm glad they had the snacks for sale and you had the station stop to get food beyond your travel and toddler snacks. The noodles look like a generous portion, and cooked easily with the boiler water, so that was good. The cups were very pretty. I knew that Russian tea is served that way, but didn't know they provided them for public travel, instead of the disposable cups with lids we offer in the US. It was nice that Agatha is so social and made a friend to break up the mom and dad only play time, and that the conductor offered her a children's travel gift package. I'm sure that boosted her mood and yours, as well. I know Russia to be agricultural, so seeing the crops growing was nice. Thank you for pointing out the blind walking paths. I had no idea Russia accommodated the disabled in this way, it's a very good thing. Do they also offer seeing eye dogs for the blind people? SO glad you arrived safely at your new apartment home. Looking forward to the next video. Binge watching t catch up. lol I've missed you.
Your videos are very interesting . And I just cannot believe who well your daughter enjoyed the long journey. My 3 year won't even step on a bus or a train. Always Hysterical. Agatha looks like my daughter , but with Curly hair and blue eyes. Takes after her Russian mother..
Look forward to your next videos. . Lovely family u have.
very nice. Sounds like Agatha lead the way on the train. She probably really enjoyed the train ride. It is good she is so sociable.
Thanks for taking us along. My children always had trouble falling asleep in strange places no matter how tired they were. I really enjoy seeing Russian life.
You two are such good parents. Agatha is so precious. Thank you for taking us on your train journey.
This type of glasses were very popular in Poland before 1989 and you can still find them in older people houses! But usually much simpler and I guess smaller than yours :) Thank you for documenting your trip ❤️
(Super long train rides are seen in Poland as very Russian thing, and a lot of people claim that travel in Transsiberian Railway is one of their dreams 😅)
Your videos always makes me smile and nostalgic, reminds me of my home in russia.You have a way of showing the beauty of russia and russian people,thankyou and have fun in the new city! 😊
I would call it "cupholder" or glasholder :) Russian train traveling is very nostalgic 💖 🌹 something that stays with you for your life, the rhythmic "tonk tonk" of the trail is very soothing. And yes the scenery is always very beautiful ❤️ thank you for sharing 💗
Your baby is adorable but you are a very sweet mom! And I love trains! Beautiful video!
Great to see you guys again!
This reminds me of when we were travelling from Far East of Russia to Moscow to fly to America! It was 1 week trip ❤️
Wow! Did you fly from Moscow to New York?
I love your husbands "Big Boss" T shirt!
I lived in Russia for a year in 2005. I took that train from Rostov-on-Don to Moscow. It was early January so very cold and lots of snow. But it was a great experience especially since we don’t really have those in the States anymore
Whoa! I've been waiting for this video! Crazy fun adventure!! ❤️😃
That was so interesting! Glad you all made it home safe and sound. 😊
So glad you all arrived home safely 💕💕looking forward to your next vlogs
Thank you for sharing these moments with us.
Been looking forward to this one!!😍😊
I found it cool that Tolya's shirt had the English words "big boss" spelled in Cyrillic letters on his shirt! I can't imagine that long trip with a child. Well done!
Welcome to your new home! Can't wait to see it!!
Guys, I'm glad you made it safely. Hope you are rested now. Can't wait to see your new place. I think another youtube family l follow lives in or near that same city.
Shirins, no?
Sheekoz family

What an adventure!! Thanks for sharing . I really enjoyed this video. Agatha is precious and so busy!!!!
Really loved the journey with you! Agatha is precious 💖 😍 💕!!!
I really like your videos and this one in particular. It reminded me of my train journey from France to Greece. Such a great adventure !
Can't wait to see your new home! :)
The longest I have ever traveled on a train was about 47 hours. The amtrak system in the usa has seats like a bus.They recline, and have a foot rest somewhere, depending on where you are sitting.
They have sleeper cars, similar, I believe, to your compartment. There are few available, and more expensive. I slept in my seat. It was not terrible, but I kept forgetting to bring a light blanket. Luckily, it was an adult. The kids get very restless.
Good luck on your new home.
Loved traveling along with you and your family and seeing countryside. Loved watching Agatha,
Thank you for sharing your train ride experience. You have a lovely family.
Great video! Train travel isn't always easy but thanks for giving us a glimpse into your experience. The scenery was lovely! And Agatha was so cute playing with the other passengers!
I loved this video!, so incredibly relaxing to me. Your videos are now my go to so I’ve watched every single one, I was really excited to see you posted😅 can’t wait for future videos about life in Krasnodar and house tours and such!! ❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing your train trip with us! I thoroughly enjoyed it! Agatha is the most adorable little girl. You have a wonderful family. I look forward to seeing more videos.
