This weekend, I went for a hike with my mom around Turtle Lake in Tbilisi. Mid-hike, I realized it’s been such a long time since I recorded a video where I just talk about stuff. It’s still something that challenges me. I guess I’ll start doing more talking videos in between the longer, more edited travel vlogs. Thank you for being with me 🙏
Niki, I hope you know that your followers also like unstructured or off the cuff videos. We just like to hear your voice. It's just nice to hear from you every so often.
I like this a lot Niki. I always enjoy the conversation type videos, like getting a letter from a friend. I look forward to the country visit videos coming up too.
These chats are great. You talking about daily life is interesting and you have an ease of conversation, so it flows well. This gives us a realistic glimpse into what it is like to travel internationally. Some of your viewers are such travelers and it’s fun to compare your struggles/issues with ours. Sometimes it helps with solving our own issues. So, a 👍 from me. As a side note, your mom seems like a very nice person and she must be very proud of you.
My honest opinion is that I am delighted that you share your videos with us no matter what the format. I am happy to see that you are free, able to travel to a place where you can visit with your family and friends and living a life in which you feel comfortable and fulfilled. May it ever be so.
Hello Niki, so good to see your video. Take your time, work at your own pace. Spend lots of time with Family. IMO. Always looking for your next adventure. Take Care. A Canadian.
I enjoy both kinds of content. A nice, quick little "conversation" with the camera and when you create and edit a master piece detailing the country you are visiting. Thank you for sharing your journeys, Niki.
I enjoy your openness, your honesty, your humility. Please continue doing these types of videos. I agree with another comment I just read that it's like getting a letter! So glad you're able to visit with family and friends and I look forward to seeing all upcoming videos.
Georgia is somewhere I’ve wanted to visit for many, many years. I am unfortunately no longer able to travel due to health restrictions, so it’s not an option anymore. I’m glad I’ll get to see a bit more of the sights via your travels. 💜
Georgia definitely deserves a visit! Sorry to hear about your health restrictions. The least I could do is showing some sights of Georgia someday next month. This is a beautiful (and delicious) country :)
Gr8 to know that you are spending quality time with your Mum and sorting out your financial affairs. I particularly enjoy your walk around markets and shops, plus you chatting with local people and fellow Russian’s living outside Russia, how they are coping and surviving 👍
@@PortsladeBySea your comment reminded me the market I've visited in Kutaisi. People there seem to be much more open to talking to strangers, and it was fun chatting with the market vendors
Always good to hear what you are up to no matter the firm. I visited Kutaisi in 2018 one of the friendliest places I have ever been. In one bar a family refused to let my partner and I pay for drinks, hospitality I will never forget.
I’m good with either a walking around vlog or an occasional sitting and vlogging. You are easy to understand and provide a lot of information about what country you are in and some personal info too. It’s a win win.
Hi Niki! So very happy to see you! I honestly miss the Niki Daily's! You haven't lost your knack for speaking to the camera. You have become a natural. I am pleasantly surprised to see you! Glad you are spending quality time with your family. Nice to see your Mom! You look just like her! Thanks for the update and I hope all of your personal business went well for you! Looking forward to your up and coming video's! Niki....you still got it!👍😊 Enjoy seeing you!❤❤❤
Cheers Niki! Love the camera updates! great to meet up with family and continue working on internationalizing your financial matters. (This is something everyone should do, including Americans. never be dependent on one country)
I'm currently on a month visit here in Tbilisi myself, partly inspired by your videos! I'm glad to see that you get to spend time with your family while you are here!
I like hearing you tell us what's going on, definitely. You don't always need to be doing something. This feels like you're my friend, sitting there and having a conversation with me. 👍
Sounds like such an adventure Nikki, looking really forward to your upcoming Videos. So happy that you got to see your family 🥰💖 / Don't feel bad about taking a while to upload, you have lots of complications and stuff going on in your life, with the RUclips policies etc. I LOVE watching any video you release, all great.
Niki this is welcome content. The simple conversational approach is refreshing and engaging. I am seeing it a lot more of it in YT - perhaps it is a positive wider trend. Happy that you and your family are well. ❤
I enjoyed this video. You have made great videos exploring places, but I think that your conversation-to-camera videos, like this one, also work very well. Thank you Niki!
We are human. We have a life. It is very special that you share yours, no strings attached, no real topic, and it shows that you are human. With tomatoes, you can make Bolognese sauce, but some people are vegetarian. You can make arrabiata, but some people cannot eat spicy. And while some people might not feel satisfied, but who rejects a basic but classic marinara? This is the grass we all need to touch to be reminded of reality.
Hi Niki. Good to see you again, great that you're meeting up with your mum. I bet she misses you. I enjoy seeing you talking to camera so a mix of visiting places and this type of video work well 😁
Its good to hear from you Niki, I had wondered what you have been doing with your life. Its pleasing to hear that you have had the opportunity to meet your Mother and friends once again. Looking forward to watching your videos when you have finished editing. Best wishes from the UK.
I love your content, especially watching your travel vlogs, and I also enjoy listening to your conversations like this one in the background while working. Keep up the great work!
Elder Canadian = Niki, I have followed you and your blogging friends for 3 years. I would like for you once every three weeks to post personally like this. = Facetime puts caring into the equation!
Thanks for the update, you are looking well. I am pleased you are meeting up with your family and friends once again. Your videos are always enjoyable and interesting to watch. Stay safe and always be prepared for unforeseen eventualities Looking forward to your next video. 🙂
I enjoy hearing how you feel and what you hope to do and so enjoy your conversation. Wishing you a fab time with family and friends and look forward to the videos of travels
The world needs to see more of you. This hillside update was important; we needed to catch up. Now we know to expect more from our itinerant world traveler. Learning about where you are is secondary to learning more about "what makes you tick," (what makes you Niki), and how a young Russian is thriving (living well and fully) as you go from place to place on your extraordinary journeys. Carry on!
I felt lucky today to turn on my iPad in and see your new conversation video. It’s nice that you are sharing your general good attitude with the world again. Looking forward to seeing the Malaysia video too!
I love how honest and open you are - and also, the wonderful details of your travels, like the cost of everything and how you buy tickets and food. There's no one else I can think of who is such an "open book" about your travel choices, your finances, your situation about visas and Adsense, etc. Thank you so much! I love it when you chat with us!
A very nice down to earth conversation. I'm 70 years old and my wife is from Belarus. Her son and his family can't get a visa to the USA. Maybe they can get a visa to Georgia and we could all meet there. It's nice to find a way that works!
Any time you drop any kind of video I (and I'm sure all of your fans) will watch and enjoy it! Please do not worry about content. Just knowing what you do is great! Be safe, Niki. Love from Seattle USA
It warms my heart to see your handsome face, Niki, and to see you smiling. Content is not nearly as important to me as is your safety and your happiness. Life has thrown a great deal of craziness your way and I'm proud of you for carrying on - and proud of you for continuing the hunt for full satisfaction and contentment in life. You deserve those things and so much more! Thank you for the update and please give my love to your beautiful mother. ❤️
I very much enjoy and support you speaking seriously about what your experiences have been. We have grown fond of the travels and what must be underlying challenges. I fell a tiny bit like I walk with you.
Niki is the best ambassador for Russian people. He shows what they are really made of, when they are not suffering from a dictator. Just good people. Love it. I do assume he already left the country.... we know why. So great to see you've been having a decent time. Cheers 🍻
Thank you for the content. I think it would be very interesting if you made a video about all of your possessions and how you carry them when traveling to a different country.
Hi Niki - Nice to see you again and in popular Georgia! Both types of videos are positive and informative. So I guess a mix of both is good. I like your Mom! She would be a fun person to hang out with. As always take care but continue to have fun. Cheers! 🍁🍁
I like a short update now and then. As someone else said, it doesn't always have to be an adventure. I guess the RUclips algorithm currently promotes longer videos? I don't know, but I like a mix where I can squeese in a short video between work stuff for example, and watch a longer one when I actually have time for it. Nice that you are able to see your family even tho the horrible war and all.
To make the most of Malaysia head to areas with lots of Malay people, in general they are the most friendly. I also have Chinese and Indian friends in Malaysia of course. A year or two ago Melaka and Penang were still suffering after-effects of the pandemic but both have bounced back really well now.
I liked this talk with maps and b-roll on it. Good to know that Georgia is good place to open a bank account. Have you looked at the Philippines? English is an official language, and they have a one month tourist visa that can be extended to 29 days, and then 2 months, and then 6 months. I was in Manila for a month and it's way safer, especially in Makati or BGC than the media portrays. Also, taxis at the airport are a scam so use grab app, or hire a driver. Other than that, not a bad place for a visa run. If you can get the 6 month Visa, they give you an ACR (Alien Resident Card), and that allows you to get a bank account.
haa just planning my prg to tbs (also banking) to sgn (yep thru del) to dli to mnl to kmg to ? trip. tbs is insane, seems all flights arrive and depart at 3am. wherever you (and natasha) are, there we watch, it's all good. i'm just nervous about you going to embassy for a new passport, and ending up on frontlines instead
Sure enjoy having a conversation with you, even if it is you doing most of the talking... Keep doing this because you're good at it. I think Georgia is wonderful, but I'm a little scared they (the party that claim to have won the election) will destroy the fantastic country in the coming years.

It's just nice to hear from you every so often.
Nice to get a simple update video sometimes. It doesn't always have to be an adventure.
I enjoyed those conversations "years ago." Nice to see them back. So, yeah, I like them. Thanks. You are always interesting and entertaining.
Thank you!
Enjoy conversation.
Enjoy all your content. Please dont stop.
I also like videos like this! Hope everything is goes smoothly for you!

I enjoy hearing your thoughts and perspective on the world. Your travel videos are awesome, but it’s nice to pause for a little reflection sometimes.
It's just nice to hear you talk, listen to what you have to say, as well as seeing new places with you. I like both.
Hello Niki, so good to see your video. Take your time, work at your own pace. Spend lots of time with Family. IMO. Always looking for your next adventure. Take Care. A Canadian.
Love seeing you talking with us via the camera.
Good to see a video update sitting down is fine enjoy your family time
Peace
I enjoy the talking to camera chats, very much.
Niki, glad you are able to visit with your family and take care of business at the same time! always good to see you no matter where or why!

Thanks Niki for the great time with you 🤗 hope we will see more of you and your journey 😊❤️
Thank you Scott! Best wishes from Georgia :)
Gr8 to know that you are spending quality time with your Mum and sorting out your financial affairs.
I particularly enjoy your walk around markets and shops, plus you chatting with local people and fellow Russian’s living outside Russia, how they are coping and surviving 👍
@@PortsladeBySea your comment reminded me the market I've visited in Kutaisi. People there seem to be much more open to talking to strangers, and it was fun chatting with the market vendors
Always good to hear what you are up to no matter the firm. I visited Kutaisi in 2018 one of the friendliest places I have ever been. In one bar a family refused to let my partner and I pay for drinks, hospitality I will never forget.
I’m good with either a walking around vlog or an occasional sitting and vlogging. You are easy to understand and provide a lot of information about what country you are in and some personal info too. It’s a win win.
I like it a lot when you talk to the camera. You seem totally natural to me!
thursday is Thanksgiving holiday in the USA. I'm thankful that you have the freedom to travel and go anywhere.
Hi Niki! So very happy to see you! I honestly miss the Niki Daily's! You haven't lost your knack for speaking to the camera. You have become a natural. I am pleasantly surprised to see you! Glad you are spending quality time with your family. Nice to see your Mom! You look just like her! Thanks for the update and I hope all of your personal business went well for you!

Great to catch up, hope you get everything done. Hello to Niki's mum from the UK 👍
I enjoy your conversations, do keep them coming. It will be interesting comparing how Asian experiences affect your western explorations.
Cheers Niki! Love the camera updates! great to meet up with family and continue working on internationalizing your financial matters. (This is something everyone should do, including Americans. never be dependent on one country)
I'm currently on a month visit here in Tbilisi myself, partly inspired by your videos! I'm glad to see that you get to spend time with your family while you are here!
Love this presentation. Like catching up with a friend you haven't seen in awhile.
I like this. I like your observations in your travels. You are fine.
Thanks Niki I enjoy your videos, keep them coming.
Hello again Niki! It's pleasant to see you are doing well and that your family is safe. I like those casual videos too, it's very soothing. Take care!
I like hearing you tell us what's going on, definitely. You don't always need to be doing something. This feels like you're my friend, sitting there and having a conversation with me.

Hey Niki so good to see you and that your able to meet up with family, love both types of videos, looking forward to next video.
Yes. I like the conversation style. Keep it up!
Good to see and listen to you again. please do more videos
Niki this is welcome content. The simple conversational approach is refreshing and engaging. I am seeing it a lot more of it in YT - perhaps it is a positive wider trend. Happy that you and your family are well. ❤
You're good in chill mode...😃
Niki you're so cute 🥰 "tedious... This is a new word I learned in English"
I'm so impressed with your multilingual skills
Good to see you again Niki!
I enjoyed this video. You have made great videos exploring places, but I think that your conversation-to-camera videos, like this one, also work very well. Thank you Niki!
I love your hair like that!! So handsome and a lot younger, too!

Nice to see you have an okay life.
It's great to hear from you!
I do enjoy these sit & talk videos a lot, but I enjoy the exploration videos a bit more.
A very nice down to earth conversation. I'm 70 years old and my wife is from Belarus. Her son and his family can't get a visa to the USA. Maybe they can get a visa to Georgia and we could all meet there. It's nice to find a way that works!
Definitely happy to hear the straight to camera updates Niki - always interesting to hear background to your travels 👏

Hello I haven't heard from you for awhile. I hope you're doing well. Virginia,USA
Hello again always enjoy your videos
Hi Niki,hope you’re doing well.😊
Finally a decent hair cut Niki , makes you look more 'professional' yet approachable and adultish.
I'd like more discussion/talking videos.
I admire how you've made lemonade out of lemons.
Well done.
Awesome 🥰
Just saw the last video of Natasha in Tbilisi and now your story. Just hope you two meet again sometime ...
Niki, doing well it appears! Stay abroad until Russia settles down. I don't know if it will in our lifetime though..
Nice hearing you chat like this and being g with your Mum, Nikki 😂
I liked this talk with maps and b-roll on it.

The real Georgia 🇬🇪
Does making nasty comments make you happy? They are equally "real."
👍
