Birthday Travel Vlog to Russian City Oryol - city of literature, weird graffiti and USSR vibes
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 авг 2021
- We have spent several days in the small Russian city Oryol to celebrate my birthday and explore some new places. We were pretty impressed by the city center, ate a lot of good food, found some weird spots as always, and had a fun adventure of traveling full day with a toddler by public transport and our poor feet🤪 But it was definitely worth it! Hope you'll enjoy this little trip with us.
Thank you for watching!💛

You’re only 23? Wow. You and your husband are so mature and possess such life wisdom.
I wish you all the best for a happy and blessed 23rd trip around the sun! 🙏🏼🥳
It’s her 24th trip around the sun, since she had already had 1 turn around the sun at the time of her first birthday.
@@trailerparksupervisor7046 it was a kind comment. Why do you feel the need to chime in with technicalities that are annoying and add nothing of value? 🙄
@@cbgbstew4072 it’s not a technicality, it’s a fact. Misinformation must be called out.
It’s so interesting to see all of the different smaller cities of Russia outside of Moscow and St. Petersburg. Thank you for sharing and I really love your channel!
Once again you give such a personal insight into your beautiful country. You might not realise it but you are doing us all such a great service. Without your help I wouldn't have known what a beautiful country Russia is. I live in the UK so have a limited understanding of the Russian way of life. Thank you for helping me understand.
exactly!ámazing service channel to the world(most influenced by western culture and concentrated at northamerica-western europe), i´m a southamerican migrate here to europe living with my russian culture husband ,even if he has be living also west europe most of his life and i´m so proud to broke many prejudices positives and negatives about cultures demonized by hollywood for just geoplotical issues...LOVE goes beyond mind borders when we OPEN our hearts!Spacibo and i would love to do more intimate questions thats might be very helpufull in life and to have a friend with the same values-world.Blessing your/our young families and amazing journey!
@@caroldelosangeles3621 Very well put Carol, I couldn't agree more. Thank you 😊.
That was fun, thank you! The riverside in Oryol was pretty, the parks, the architecture, the restaurants.
You and your husband must have the stamina of Russian athletes. So much walking. Everything looks so big. This video was so beautiful. The colours the buildings are painted. The museums, the history and your knowledge explaing to us. Even the Ester cafe was gorgeous. Funny story about the bus. My wife and I did the same in Tunisia. Free bus for locals going to the market. Only we had to jump over chickens and straw bales to get a seat.
You have a lovely family. Agatha willl grow quickly and one day she will have her arm around you whilst you have a sleep in the taxi. 😀
Happy Belated Birthday from Scotland.
I love how happy is Agata all the time, you must be very proud because with your husband you are rising a beautiful and happy child
You are very lucky to have such a loving husband to surprise you with a trip on your birthday! The pizza looked good! The woman at the museum was probably surprised to see young people who were interested in writers from the past. Like Karma Outlaw said, you and your husband are so mature. Many young people have no interest in literature. That said, your husband has LOTS of books, so you are both book lovers, a wonderful quality! What a fun way to spend your birthday! 🎂
Oh Vika, your hubby is the cutest!! 🥰 I can’t thank you enough for all the insights into your life - I’m almost twice your age and live in Germany, and my stupid old brain’s first reaction to your videos is always like “Oh, look, they have modern trains now!” 🤦🏼♀️ You’re chipping away old crusty stereotypes with every video. I also really love seeing the combination of old and new in your travel vlogs. Thanks a lot for updating my outdated software! ❤️
Tolya is the best. I love watching your little family.
I hope the dog was okay.
Yes, it was just sleeping outside☺️
The thing I like most is that you are authentic. Many youtubers put on a fake overly happy persona and it is not natural and I don't want to watch that. Pretending has no point. Being yourself and having this calm energy is so refresing. Thank you
Happy Birthday Vika!! Honestly you are one of the most beautiful people ive seen, and as a 15 year old who has such a great interest in Russia, you are one of the reasons that compelled me to learn Russian (I really hope I can go to Russia one day, it's really been one of my dreams ever since I was younger)! You have such an amazing family that I strive to have in the future- Agatha is so so adorable- you have really taught me so much, and your maturity and intelligence has really affected me in my everyday thinking, thank you so so much! 💕
This is a wonderful sentiment you've expressed! There could not be a better role model for a young lady than our sweet Vika along with her endearing family! 👨👩👧
May you delight in your days also.
Woooooow, you’re 15 and you’re already learning Russian???? It’s incredible!
Wow thank you so much for your sweet and kind words! And thank you for your support💛😍
@@VictoriaTerekhina very nice blog ...love from india
@@VictoriaTerekhina You're welcome sweetheart!
I pray today is a lovely blessed day for you!
You and your family make me smile. С днём рождения!
Me too! 😁😉
I could spend hours and hours walking around a city like this! Beautiful.
Also, the scene of you and Agatha sharing peaches was one of the most wonderful in all of your videos!!
Thank you for this beautiful video. What a magnificent place! Turgenev is one of my favorite authors. We have vast fires ii Greece and a lot of trees are gone. The thing he said when he planted the tree brought me to tears.
Happy birthday, you and your family are a breath of fresh.. You tube air! Keep it up!
Love ❤❤Russia from Greece.
I also want to thank Russian firefighters and pilots that came to help us.
Happy birthday Vika! Wow I remember when I was 23,you're so much more poised than I was at such a young age 🤪 lol and dare I say even smarter? I still cant get over your excellent command of the English language! Beautiful video,tysm for taking us along with you. Love to see you both able to spend so much quality time with Agatha!Hugs from America!😍😍
When I recall about myself at my 23, I was a kid, I think.
I endorse the many kind comments below but just want to congratulate you on your very good filming technique. Love to you all from New Zealand.
Interesting video. I've a daughter a little younger than yours so it's interesting to follow your family here on RUclips. Greetings from Norway
Sweet family - I really thought Agatha looked like her father but she is really starting to look like you AND Happy Birthday 🎉🎁🎊🎂🎈
Vika, you and your family are so cute, Aghata is 😍 and Tolya is so thoughtful and in love with you
I love your videos 😄 and it's interesting for me to see some similarities between our two countries, when it comes to some traditions,food,religion, but also to learn about differences
All the best to you and your family from Serbia🌻🥰
Agathas food sounds are the cutest things ever!! 🥰 adorbs!! Your husband is so sweet too and so are you! I just love your little family and your videos!! So much love from Canada 🇨🇦 🍁
Belated happy birthday, wishing you many, many more! Congratulations on Tolya's thoughtful gift that the whole family could enjoy together. Business must be good. Thank you for sharing your travels with us. It's great to see peaceful tours of small towns from the average person perspective. My fave parts are the architecture (esp Orthodox church & white trim on green author house), fine art museum, Chinese outdoor murals, romantic dinner with gift cake and candle, and the bus story. The little stories of people being unexpectedly kind are very nice, as was the unexpected bank in a church building in the backyard. Actually, I am a fan of graffiti. It is a form of art, personal expression and communication. Though I much prefer the neutral or non-negative creations, usually on train cars and rail bridges. Looking forward to your next video. Lotsa love from Louisiana.
A lovely video. I was impressed how tidy and clean everywhere was. The children's playground was lovely too. The architecture is so interesting and very beautiful. Glad you had a good break and a good Birthday !
"There is some kind of crazy dance party nearby."
*dramatic close up of duck*
I'm sorry, Vika, but that was hilarious! 😂 What a lovely video! You truly have an eye for beautiful imagery!
The place where you are staying is very cozy......I like it.
In the previous video I wished you a happy birthday and also mentioned how thoughtful and loving your husband is.
Good idea to change into shorts.
Beautiful city with quite a bit of history and culture. I would love to tour that city.
Vika, hope you enjoyed your very special birthday. Prayers and blessings to you and your family.🥀
Your English has improved so much ! I love all your vlogs. I’m 43 and and praying still to meet such a caring Godly man someday !! God bless you all abundantly!
I hope, one day you will meet an AMAZING man. Wish you that from all my heart. Good luck and a lot of love to you!!!
It's worth to visit your local churches and attend church meetings/ engage in church initiatives 😀. We women sometimes need to help our luck
@@maritkaa007 I have thanks tho.
I think people have forgotten how close Russia and Europe were historically and while on the one hand it's really interesting to see the similarities to European cities, it's also fascinating to see the differences - your architecture is very fine and I love that extra decorative style!
When I was a child in Geneva, Switzerland, I loved the Russian Orthodox church there with its golden domes and the beautiful voices you would hear in passing; unfortunately I was never able to go inside but I loved that part of town and visiting the museums that are in that quarter, even then.
It was also fun to hear you describe the city as small with 300'000 inhabitants, which is the size of our largest towns; my town only has 25'000 inhabitants but also a lot of interesting things to see :)
That summer estate was wonderful, you could really imagine the literati of the time spending the hot months there, what a lovely day out you had, even adapted to suit a toddler. I also love to go places on quiet days when there are few people around, if I'm lucky...
Nice to have a long train ride , enjoying the scenery. Very beautiful city. Thanks for sharing. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Happy Birthday Vika!You have such a sweet family and they sure love you!Agatha is such a doll baby and sure loves her mama and that was so cute that your husband brought you pizza and a lot piece of Taramisu!Safe travels and may God continue to bless you and your family!From Ohio, USA.
I didn't know Russia had such beautiful places. So beautiful. It looks like you had a lovely birthday. Happy Birthday 🎂🎁💐💕 You have a wonderful husband to do this for you. Agatha is really growing and so so cute.❤️🤗
Our landscapes and architecture are different around the country.
Happy birthday!
I spent a month at Pietrozavodsk university in summer 2004 and I have some very nice memories. The public transport was very packed, so we kept walking everywhere. Kilometers and kilometers every day, I was glad I had my new trainers with me. When a russian told me it was niedaleko (nor far away), I knew I would have to walk for 30 minutes at least 😂😂.
Love your channel, you are a very nice family. Love from Czechia ♥️
Thank you for sharing😅 My husband does the same - always says that it’s “niedaleko” and we walk for 30-40min😂
I really like the architecture and general atmosphere of the Russian cities that you show us in your vlogs. The buildings are quaint and colourful, and a nice mix of modern and traditional. The more I see of your husband, Tolya, the more I like him. He seems to be a really sweet man, very considerate and caring. I think you got yourself a keeper. You have a really lovely family. Also, Happy Birthday, once again 🥳 🎂🎉! By the way, your vlogging skills are really improving - your picture and sound editing are looking very professional. Do you have a new camera? The images in this vlog look so crisp with gorgeous colours! In any case, whatever you are doing, keep it up. 👍🏽👍🏽🙏🏽
Thank you a lot! I got a new phone for filming but it was several months ago☺️
Отличная поездка! Спасибо Вика. Приятно видеть Россию, скучаю по этой стране!
Уже жду следующее видео :)
Little Agatha is soo sweet ..!bless her heart ❤❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing your trip with us, Vikka. I really loved the landscape of this Russian countryside, it was very peaceful and beautiful.
I also love how you guys travel as a family, from using public transports to all the places you see. I love how you expose Agatha to so many wonderful things outside video games and TV, like reading books, public transport, the space museum (that's my favorite blog!), town landmarks, outdoor parks and the countryside. This reminds me a lot of what my mum would do when we took small trips when I was young, so watching your travel vlogs make me feel nostalgic. I'm certain these will form invaluable memories for Agatha when she grows up.
Thank you for taking us along! Oryol looks like a cute little city, I'll have to put it on my list if I ever make it to Russia. And happy very belated birthday!
That looks like a beautiful trail to walk in the woods. Such a nice excursion!
Russia never stops to amaze me. Thanks to you!!
Wow. And what does amaze you in our country?
@@Natashanjka Nature, architecture, the geography, the history.
@@ruizarvinc.1545 thank you so much. What about our language? Did you try to learn it?
Happy birthday!
Thank you for another fabulous video. It looks like you had a lovely time away. Such a sweet thing for your husband to do!
Also - that dress is just gorgeous on you! 😊
You are soooo positive :-)
You have such poise about yourself and I absolutely love seeing Russia thru your eyes. Wish I could visit Russia.
The white gingerbread trim on the brightly painted older buildings is so pretty; thank you for sharing it with us.
Your birthday is on the same date as Harry Potter. SOOOO COOL!
I was thinking that as well!
No one cares nerd
Thank you Vika and family for such a well presented and genuine video, showing us real Russia and family life. I send you love from South West England.
Gosh Vika, you’re so lucky! It’s so beautiful and historic, esp with your beautiful Great Patriotic War Memorials, everywhere you look. 👍👏👏 And the famous fruit orchards too. That architecture is great 👍 too.
OMG, Happy 23rd Birthday 🥳! How fun you got to take a trip together, YAY for hubby 👏👏👏
Thanks for taking us along!
It looks like many cities in Russia do not keep up their roads or cut the grass in the parks, but watching Agatha makes everything better.🙌🏼 I could watch Agatha all day long.🌸💝
We have a proverb that in Russia, there are two troubles: fools and roads.
Happy Birthday! I absolutely love the videos especially the VLOG's about travelling you have been doing recently. I really like your family and wish you and your husband and Agatha continued prosperity and happiness. You bring a light in peoples world. God bless.
Her editing skills are amazing, yes.
Happy Birthday! and I hope you have many, many more!
Your trains look fantastic - much better than what we have in the UK.
It's a new modern train for short distances and it looks really nice☺️ But we have many that are in MUCH worse conditions😅
I live near Chicago Illinois in the states and you reminded me of my furniture. I've been married 43 years! My couch was given to us when we married and it was already very old. I've had it recovered twice. My big dining room table was given to me by my mother when my parents moved out of their larger home. It has benches and two 40-year-old wooden chairs. I have a beautiful bed that we bought new about 30 years ago most of the rest are an odd collections of chairs and desks, bookshelves and a children's bed we bought new. I really love old and second hand furniture but I wouldn't say I was a minimalist!
Wow... the bus story is so heart-warming.
How wonderful for all of you, a magnificent birthday trip for momma. What a sweet husband you have. I adore old cities full of history. Noticed those paintings displayed on the sidewalk, would have loved to have rummaged through those. You have such a good baby and she is so smart. What magnificent buildings. Nice wooded area such beautiful buildings out there. Calm and peaceful. Excellent day for tourist.😉 Thank you for taking us with you. Oh, you had the bus all to ourselves. 😊
This is wonderful what you are doing. Truly, you are one of Russia's greatest Ambassadors.
You made a very interesting travel video that also shows so well the charming personalities of yourself, your child, and your husband. I felt I was very welcome to come along with you.
This is so thoughtful of your husband. How sweet ❤️
Happy birthday! What a lovely present your husband gave you, so thoughtful for him to plan out a trip for the three of you. The flowers he gave you are so pretty. And the apartment he rented is just gorgeous. Agatha is a doll. I love your videos and getting to see places I will never go to in person. Thank you so much for sharing!
How much was the rent?
Thank you for taking us along, Vika! It makes me want to travel around Russia myself. Agatha is sooo sweet, I love watching her in your videos. Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹
Agatha is getting big! She's so beautiful.
And your husband seems so sweet!
Happy Birthday Vika! Thank you for taking us along to celebrate your birthday with you. I love your blue dress (I think it must be new, I haven't seen you wear it before). The buildings at the museum were so pretty, I'm glad you were able to spend the day there.
Thank you SO much Vika for taking us on your trip with you. I've watched you for so many months now and I always love your videos. I think it's very important for people from other countries to see what day-to-day life is like all around the world. Here in Europe, there's a lot of 'propaganda' about different countries - Russia included- so it's really nice to see how you live on a daily basis. Keep up the good work. Agatha is growing up beautifully and she is so lucky to have you and your husband (who is a treasure) as parents.
Happy Birthday Vika!! Thank you for showing us around Oryol and its history!
This was such a great video! I really loved the whole intro section. Love to see these little towns and villages - thank you as always for sharing! 😊
Happy birthday! Thank you for sharing your life with us!
Happy Birthday Vika. Hope you had a wonderful day. Thank you for sharing your travels with us. I love seeing the sights and learning about the history of each city you visit.
Happy birthday Vika! Thank you for taking us along to all these beautiful places, with gorgeous buildings and idyllic forests and fields! And thank you for sharing so many lovely family moments, I "aaaahw'ed" out loud when you shared the nectarines with Agata, and when Tolya came in with the tiramisu. Great to see that you had such a nice trip together! Greetings from the Netherlands!
Happy Birthday Vika! Glad you had a wonderful trip.
Your daughter is very blessed to have wonderful
parents like you and your husband. God bless.
Your husband is so thoughtful to give you a fantastic birthday . Thank you for sharing your family and life with all of us.
Awww 🥰 Happy Birthday! 🎉🎂🎈That’s so sweet that your hubby surprised you with a trip. ♥️ It looks like a beautiful area. 😍
What a sweet husband you have. Thank you for taking us along on your birthday trip. You have such a nice little family and I so enjoy all of the things you share! Thank you! Happy birthday!!
Vika, thank-you for such an interesting film. You have a very good eye for filming and selecting photo scenes. "Travelling" with your delightful family is very special. The warmth and goodness of your family comes through the lens so clearly...as if the viewer is walking with you on your tour. Congratulations, Viki, and Happy Birthday.
I've just starting drinking hot tea because of you, green tea, no sugar. I thought I would try it, the benefits are suppose to be healthy.
Happy birthday Vika! Glad you all had a great trip!
Love from Australia ☀️💕🎂🎉🎉
That is a pretty city. The park is lovely. What a nice surprise for your birthday. Your husband is fantastic. Pizza looks delicious.
Thank you for sharing your trip with us. You did a wonderful job filming it.
Happy Birthday Vika! Another great video, always great to spend time with you and your beautiful family. Remembering Oryol from the life of Arseniev, where some depictions of the houses and gardens in the publishing office have a Persian touch. Also nice to see the beautiful countryside and the variety of trees that must have been portrayed in записки охотника. His house looks very classy and comfy too, and those thiccck Voltaires lol.
This video is shot so beautifully ! Love the vibe and you're family is so cute and wholesome!
What a great video, thank you so much :-). It was nearly like being on the trip with you, guys. Loved everything
Your husband seems so sweet! You all look so happy, and I hope you really are :)
Happy Birthday Vika! 🎂 🍾🥂💕
Hi Vekaa... I love watching experiences of your lovely family.. Great love and best wishes from India✨
🥳Happy birthday, young lady!💐 Thank you for taking us along on your vacation for a lovely tour of some beautiful sites. Your blue dress 👗 is very pretty. This is an excellent vlog 👏 😊
Happy Birthday ❤️Thank you for the video I enjoyed it very much.
Your family is really the most adorable I've ever seen 😍 Happy birthday from Norway!
Happy belated birthday, I love travelling around Russia with you from my armchair, the architecture is quite stunning and I've always had a fascination for Russia so your lovely videos are perfect. It's also lovely seeing how Agatha is growing and developing, beautiful family and I look forwarf to your next video ❤️❤️ xx
I love your videos! Thank you for taking us on vacation with you. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! 🎁 🎂 🎈
I love watching your videos during my work breaks. Thank you for sharing and happy late birthday! From Tulsa, Oklahoma. USA.
Очень любил этот город. 🙏
Мне очень понравились динамические видеосъемки и звежйи монтаж. 👌👌👌
Happy Birthday! What a lovely gift from your husband! Love the travel vlogs and seeing Russia. Got a kick out of the NY Coffee shop! Hugs, Mary from NY!
Happy Birthday! Thanks for sharing your piece of the world, it's interesting. You're a natural mom and so comfortable and effortless in the way you parent , your family is lovely
Happy birthday belated! I agree you ARE very mature.
Your surprise trip was beautiful, your husband is so sweet, kind and an excellent father. You can see how much he loves you both.
Loved the colors of this city...so bright and cheerful. Had a lighter feeling because of all the colors, I think.
I kept thinking about you teaching Agatha English. I think your husband doesn't speak English, right? But if you teach Agatha, you can teach him too. An English children's picture dictionary would be useful (and an ABC book, with the English alphabet). Learn lots of single words, pictures help (Agatha loves books, right)? If you speak the word and then learn to see how the word is spelled (your husband could practice saying and writing the words). Then you could move to short children's books in English to read. Your husband and Agatha could both learn together! I think you are a natural teacher 😉. Are English kids books easy to find?
Thanks for sharing your life. Your family is beautiful, as are you! ❤
Agatha is an actual angel!! Her giggling as the bus went over the bumps was SO cute! 💚💚
Can you do a video about Classic Russian literature and writers? Would be very interesting to hear your perspective and recommendations ☺️ btw happy belated birthday ! 🎂 🥳 PS. Agata is a cutie 🥰 and a copy cat of the Daddy 😀
I saw a new video vlog notification and was like "woohoo! I have something lovely to watch during my breakfast today!" ❤️ Your vlogs are so soul soothing, thank you for bringing more beauty and peace to this world
I find your videos uplifting, you have such a cheerful demeanour
Happy Birthday (belated) Vika, I love these vlogs & you have a wonderful family xx
I just discovered your channel, you are one wise 23 year old!! In Canada we would say you have your head screwed on straight 😊I love to see some of Russia through your videos and I hope to see it myself one day. Until then, Thank you so much for sharing your country, and of course your beautiful family! ❤
Happy Birthday! Thanks for sharing.
Belated birthday greetings to you! What a nice excursion you had. Thanks for sharing this with us. 🌸
Happy birthday. I hope you have a wonderful, special day. Thanks for sharing your day with everyone.
Happy Birthday! Thank you for making this video. I love to see the different neighborhoods in the cities; and also like the countryside. USA
Happy belated Birthday ! Thank you for inviting us along !
Happy belated birthday Vika! Thank you for sharing your birthday trip!
