People who are constantly unhappy and not in peace with themselves will never see nice things around them. And in general, we have to stop living life on speed, we have to look around us and be grateful for this day because we are alive. 🤗 I love how you think!
Vika, thank you for once again inviting us along for an adventure with you and your lovely family. I think that I speak for many people here who enjoy getting a peek into a world that we would normally not ever see. You have a talent for making these virtual trips, whether it is to a supermarket, a thrift shop or to another town like Kaluga in this video, an amazing immersive experience where we feel welcomed. Your videos feel very real and not at all staged, so it is like we are living another life in Russia along with some wonderful friends. Also love the music! Keep going Vika!
That’s really special your dad taught you to appreciate your local culture. That’s a valuable lesson that clearly not everyone learns. I think you can find excitement and new scenery anywhere you go, even if it’s your normal commute to work or school. Practicing mindfulness and being in the moment can make the same park you’ve come to 100 times feel new and exciting again. Travel is what you make of it, wherever you go! I watch these rich young RUclips girls take solo trips all over and they end up sucked into their phone, in their room, and not enjoying themselves even though they’re on some people’s dream trips. My grandma used to tell me “ Wherever you go, there you are.” which means, make what you can of your current situation because that’s the one you’re in right now. So whether you’re in the situation of being able to take your dream trip or just a local weekend getaway, make the most of it!!!!!!
I love your vlogs! I am a young, married student which is kind of rare in the US and I love seeing how similar our lives are. Small apartment, roughly same-sized city, taking little weekend trips :) We don’t have much, but we have everything we need, and we are happy.
I live roughly the same life as hers but based in Spain. I am 25, married and with a baby on that way :) we live in a rural home and appreciate the little things. I don't use make up or wear expensive clothing but rather functional streetwear. I also studied English at University! Sometimes I get the odd feeling that she is some sort of Doppelgänger of mine lol
As an American growing up during the cold war, I was surprised to see so many beautiful churches in Kaluga. I had assumed all of these lovely structures were demolished during Communism. In fact the whole cultural flavor seems to be hopeful and positive even considering the political nuance of the era. I don't think Americans were getting the entire story of Russia during that period in world history. Thanks for a great video, it made my day.
I was thinking the same thing. The Cold War was a really unfortunate time. I still have all kinds of crazy preconceived ideas about Russia and the former Soviet union. Seeing all those remnants of the Soviet era on this video actually made me feel a little bit tense. Then I had to laugh at myself. Just part of their history and culture. I pray for the peace and prosperity of Russia. I want them to prosper and be happy and free.
I advise you to see the channel 'Real Russia' of vlogger Baklykov , especially his road trip of last year, as he showed ancient towns with particularly valuable churches, cities of 'Golden Ring' of Russia, along Volga, Karelia.
Some churches were demolished if there was need for that - to build something new on there location. But many were just transformed into utility building, like warehouse, schools or hospital. As a kid i was hospitalized into hospital which was a monastery before the revolution.
Before the pandemic, I had the privilege of travelling a lot - for work. Normal for me was a different country every week, 4 flights per week, usually via Amsterdam, because my local airport, BHX, doesn't have direct flights to most of the places I needed to go. Never been to Russia, but the architecture and scenery in Kaluga remind me of Vilnius and Tallin. I always stay in apartments rather than hotels if possible (apartments are not common in some countries) - gives me chance to visit local shops to get food. I agree with you that there are always places to see - have found something pleasant, interesting and educational in every place I've visited.
I cant really explain it but your videos calm me. My parents came from Russia but i was born abroad, watching you just live your life feels like home in a way. Thank you and lots of love 💜
I agree with you. In my county’s lockdowns x 4 we could not travel more than 5km, then 10km then 25km as things got better. Our family really explored our area. Always something to see when you look. Best thing about travelling is experiencing how others live. I feel like I’ve been visiting Russia with you.
Dear Vika, I have to say, you really do a public service. Our family is experiencing a very tough time because of our son’s sudden health issue , and listening to you, your calm voice, your simplicity, helps me to calm down.
I love what you were saying about local travelling. People always have it in the back of their minds that big cities are interesting because they are popular, but travelling locally allows you to find hidden gems and it is a bonus that you support local businesses.
I just had a massive tough hour of anxiety/ feeling trapped in my head, this vlog is really helping me being calm and breathe normally. I spent a very peaceful moment thanks to you, please never stop vlogging youre really great for filming commenting and editing.
I loved this ❤️ You are your daughter on the train was so cute! I enjoyed the exploring around the city and that bell tower was AMAZING! The grass is so green in your country! I live in Edmond, Oklahoma USA and our grass is often burnt up and yellowed from the hot hot summer sun. It still has its moments tho! We have wonderful sunsets here! And I live very close to a super cool old Victorian built town called Guthrie! I very much believe in local traveling!
“the following trains will be delayed due to a cell phone rescue mission“. 😉 I enjoyed this video a lot, thanks for filming the landscape when you were on the train so we get an idea what the surroundings of your city is like. I also always enjoy watching you and Tolya interact with Agatha. You seem to be so relaxed with her, not stressed.
Hello from Australia! I love watching your videos and learning so much about Russian culture and life. Your family is so lovely and your comments about local travel is so true! We should all look around our regions and explore more. No need to spend thousands of dollars travelling overseas. Stay safe and thank you for all your wonderful videos.
Not only do you advocate a positive attitude toward life and things around you, but I am impressed with your fluency in English. I envy you the ability to express ourself and share your views and culture with others. Thank you.
My husband and I are big believers in “exploring your own state” (we are in the USA) and we love taking day trips during the weekends to places nearby. I have looked up places or we just pick a direction and drive....but I will say I enjoy seeing the places you show us. I love watching your videos.
I am also from Russia,but i am living in Greece since I was 8 years old and now i am 29 so i like your videos Very much.I love to see how are the things there.Keep up the good work that you are doing.
I’m so in love with the smaller cities in Russia, of course Moscow and Saint Petersburg are amazing, but Suzdal (Суздаль) definitely stole my heart 🥰 Kaluga looks so nice! Thank you for sharing 😊
Its really lovely sharing your story, you need to make the most of it with children, I know she is just a baby but all these moments are special memories and you will always remember them. It all goes in a flash. My wife and are in our 70's and have just celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary albeit it very differently to what was planned. We spent as much time as we could with our children when they were young and we've had a wonderful life with a few ups and downs but happily mostly ups! We now have some lovely grandchildren and the best thing with this scenario is you can give them back at the end of the day!! hehe
I love architecture so it’s so interesting seeing what your area is like. Thanks for taking us along. It is so very interesting. Love your little family. Stay safe and God bless.
Hello! I love seeing what life is like over in your part of Russia. That space museum seems so fascinating to me, I do NASA space research in the US and would love to visit this place one day. Thank you for doing the local travel, for some of us globe-trotters, seeing what is local for you is what we would consider to be a wonderful, hidden gem. It's good to see such things appreciated and explored, this is how they are sustained! :D Cheers from America & Venus!
Vika,you're so right,ppl should explore their own cities and towns,there is still so much to discover. This video was so much fun and the three of you are such a sweet little family I found myself tearing up 😪 Agatha is a great little traveler,I nevet see her crying or being fussy,shes so adorable with her daddy. And I have to compliment you again on your grasp of english Vika. Ty for another great video!👏👏👏👍👍👍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Hi from South Africa again! Thank you so much for introducing us to your Russia in such an amazing way. The weather was actually perfect, such beautiful photography! We have a beautiful and diverse country and South Africans love being outside to explore our towns and different parts of our country. Travel bans during Lock-down definitely increased people's appreciation for it even more!
Isn't it cool how her video is getting all us Americans with NASA connections excited as well? My great-uncle worked in Houston in the 1960s; my dad did contract work in Huntsville in the 1970s; a friend worked on the Cassini probe that went to Saturn. Just love this and when I get to go to Russia again someday, I definitely want to go to Kaluga!
Definitely after/during Covid I appreciate travelling in my local area a lot more. Now things are open, I'm finding my own city an adventure again actually!
Such a beautiful yet quiet city. Really like how big and clean looks. I really love russian art and buildings. I studied Art History at Uni and had a subject about russian architecture, it was very interesting. Much love from Spain :)
Agatha is such a cutie 🥰 sweet little one. Thank you for sharing your family and country with us. You’re like me….I love old buildings and way of living
It was nice to see people traveling and NOT on their computers, iPads, phones etc. Fun trip! You are so right..there are things to do locally. I live only an hour and a half outside of New York City …and by far I’d prefer to venture around the local areas more than spending my time and money going there. It’s a lovely area that you explored.
🤣🤣👏🏼👏🏼🤣 oh my gosh, I thought, “What a nice place to stay, looks so cozy.“ Then up pops the zebra bedspread and I burst out laughing. I don’t mean to sound judgmental, but what a weird choice for whoever purchased the bedding for that place! Oh well, it made it fun.
I also love local travel...... it’s very underestimated, but you can find the most interesting little places, museums and historic homes/sites. Thanks for showing us around Kaluga, I would never have seen this special place without your video!!
It was wonderful to be able to join the family for a virtual tour of this "space" city. I will never be able to travel abroad to Russia, so I especially loved this video.
I grew up really poor in the US, but my parents always took us to places that were inexpensive and nearby. Local parks and hiking trails are totally free, after all. I never got to go to Disney as a child, but that didn't mean I felt neglected or like I missed out on something. I went to fisheries and local farms, parks and trails, beautiful places, art shows and performances. My parents really made the most of what we had, and I think I grew up better for their ingenuity.
Your father sounds like he always found great adventures for you. I would love an entire video of one of your train rides with your narration! Would love to see more of the the countryside there. You can see so many interesting things by train. And hello back from Texas!
Totally agree! I love local travel in South Africa because it’s helps me know my surroundings a bit better and yes! with an open mind you can always find a new & great adventure 🌸
I love your thoughts about local travel. Our attitudes have big impact on our daily life and future days. I find that curiosity is important thing as well. The best part of traveling is spending time and shared experiences with our family which create a strong bond, and a satisfying life. Love experiencing your Russia.
Thank you for this video Vika! Here in Argentina now is very popular regional tourism or countryside tourism and very tiny towns have now hotels and little museums and activities. With my mom we like to trip to those towns and spending time walking around and meeting the people. It's cheaper and beautiful. Greetings from Argentina, I'm studying for my last exam at university and watching your videos help me calm down.
I find your videos so interesting. I think its fascinating seeing how people live in other countries and I subscribe to similar channels from different counties but I think yours are the most interesting! Your English is amazing!
У вас прекрасная семья. Спасибо, что показали малоизвестную часть России. Еда выглядела такой вкусной, что одного было бы достаточно, чтобы поехать туда 😁😉
It’s so pretty there! I love how the buildings look so old and that space museum is amazing! I live in the U.S. I’m close to the ocean so I go to the beach as often as I can. I love it! I enjoy shopping at the little beach shops and eating seafood. I also live about 4 hours drive from Washington D.C. so I have made a few trips there to see our national museums. We have a national Air and Space Museum, but honestly, that one over there looks more intriguing.
I love these old, wooden houses with all the fancy fretwork. They look like something out of a Russian fairy tale. As far the church with the crumbling exterior - I find wonderful old structures in that state have a charm all their own. It looked like the roof was in good repair though, which is important. As long as the roof and the foundation is in good repair, the building will last.
I love this video! I am American, and visited Russia only once, but this made me "homesick" for things I remember. I love that all your cities have such respectful memorials for soldiers, and also they are full of art everywhere - statues, paintings, architecture and sculptures on the buildings. So many old buildings are still standing. Maybe not always in the best repair, but they are not torn down. The churches are gorgeous! And I agree - the old homes of famous people, are so interesting! In the US, if a building looks old, usually it is torn down to build something new - but that means a loss of history. I love how the plants are green and growing like crazy in the summer there - and how they are allowed to grow a little bit wild. I love the scenes from the train and bus, showing the countryside - I visited a sweet family in a town in Siberia, and the countryside there is also beautiful! The yellow field near the end - is it sunflowers? I always think of sunflowers in Russia! I am especially excited by the Space Museum in Kaluga!! If I visit Russia again, I want to go there! There is a similar museum a few hours away from me, in Huntsville, Alabama. Some of my relatives and friends have worked for NASA, and I think space exploration is so interesting! Even though there was tension between the USA and CCCP, I am grateful for how it pushed the US to grow in space exploration, and how all the world has benefited from the work of our two space agencies (and other countries' space agencies now also). I like what you say about enjoying local travel. I belong to a Facebook group that shares ideas for local travel around our state. So many beautiful places I did not know! Thank you again!
This life is vastly different from mine, where I live in the city and everything is fast-paced. But a peaceful home and family is just not something you can put a price for. You have something very special.
I LOVE your perspectives that you share on life in general, especially in regards to local travel. Lol I was actually just telling my boyfriend how much I love watching your channel because you seem like an everyday girl showing the world what life is like in your country. In other words, you're not inspiring envy like so many influencers do, you feel like a faraway friend showing us your world! Before watching this video, I also commented to my boyfriend how it's wonderful to even see the local travel you do as it's much more relatable to your average person. I think most people don't get to do so much travel to foreign & exotic places. For the longest time, I wanted to do bigger travel but I am so grateful for all of the local travel I get to do in the US. I agree with you, that every place can be fun & amazing, you just have to seek for it! A couple years ago, my boyfriend and I went to a wedding in a small town. The next day, instead of just going straight home, we did some local travel. We visited a historical home that was part of the Underground Railroad. We were the only ones there for a tour so we got to know our lovely tour guide very well! And then we visited a covered bridge that had beautiful wildflowers off the side of the road. I still look back fondly to that trip. Sure it's no Paris or Disney World but I truly believe that every place can be magical, you just have to be open enough to experience it. You are very inspiring but not in the superficial way that many influencers/RUclipsrs are. You are inspiring because of who you are, the way you see the world, & your ability to be grateful for all of the wonderful things that you have and get to experience. Wishing you & your cute little family the best from a girl in the US 💗
You, your husband and your little girl bring a little sunshine into my day! 😊 BTW - I agree with you that it's best to travel locally. I live in a cute little country town in Northern Vermont, USA. (I love living here!) I used to want to travel across the USA to see places like Washington DC and the Grand Canyon. But it's lots of fun to take a bus and see Vermont's state capitol, Montpelier, about 47 kilometers away. I like to visit the small stores and just walk around. I hope you can google Montpelier, Vermont and see how pretty it is!
Oh i enjoyed that so much!! That was lovely, i love that you took the time to express how you enjoy the trips around local cities and towns because it's true, there's beauty everywhere and is also a matter of grate attitude, hope people follows you in that Sence, love it!! Love it!!! ❤️ Keep them coming!
Thank you, Vika, for showing us round the lovely city of Kaluga. I agree, it is important to visit areas local to us. I love hearing about Russian culture and seeing all the beautiful buildings Russia has to offer. Russia is a country I have always wanted to visit. Maybe someday! I am learning a lot about it from your videos.
I really enjoy watching people show everyday life in different countries - thanks for doing this! Beautiful church, and old neighbourhoods. The space museum was impressive as well. I really like foreign travel, but maybe because I ride a bicycle a lot I also know that it's possible to explore your own city and region and enjoy it. It can be just small things - a garden, a cafe, a beautiful street or house - and these are often things that most people don't see or notice even if they live nearby. It's always refreshing. Compliment your husband on his nice smile. :-)
Interesting tour of a city I knew nothing about but which looks much nicer than I would have expected. Very green and lush. And a fascinating tour of the museum and Tsiolkovsky's house. Makes me want to see them some day if I ever get to visit Russia.
I really love your thoughts on local traveling an interesting places. To be honest... I always thought there's nothing to see in my town... I'm 40 now and just a few days ago I learned that we've a little temple in our town (since 1968!!!!) I was shocked that I didn't know about! Also just learned about our little Town Gallery, where local artists can exhibit their art two years ago... I was born here in this town, but always thought there's nothing to see.... man, was I wrong! And when you talked about local traveling I felt guilty of being someone like you mentioned, instantly... because I am... or I was... 'cause now I want to see those places I didn't know about. You also can visit our bell tower.... the only problem (for me) is that it's getting very tight the more you go upstairs. ^^''' Which is the only reason I haven't checked it out until now, because I really love churches, bell towers, old houses and everything old (from the 18ths and the beginning of the 19th Century). So I really enjoyed watching your video, 'cause you showed so much I really adore. :-) Have an awesome week and lots of love from Germany! :-)
Funnily I'm also from Germany and I had the same experience. I grew up in a suburb of about 2000 inhabitants and only about 5 years ago we realized that there used to be a manor (Rittergut) there, starting in the early 17th century and the old knight's graves are a 5 minute walk away from my house. It was fascinating. I actually love having friends from other cities or countries visit me because that way I always discover awesome things to see that aren't far away.
@@airotkiv We also have a Rittergut here, so I was pretty startled at first, when I read it ;) But I think there are many of those all over Germany, right? But it's pretty amazing when you realise it's that near to you. So awesome! :-) I'm living in a small town with a population a bit under 20.000 people... it's a nice town and I enjoy living here. :)
Thank you for sharing your local travel philosophy and your fascinating trip! So enjoyed the architecture, historical sites and natural vistas. Watching your videos brings a sense of calm and peace. Your family’s love for one another shines through. Life’s simple pleasures are the most fulfilling when done with those we love. We also enjoy taking day trips in our local area and come away with a new appreciation for our beautiful part of the world here in Northern California.
The whole problem is, there isn't any space. We are living under a dome. We can't even go many places on earth, how can we go to space..? ( MAG BITTER TRUTH M MAG DISTURBING TRUTH...).
I’m enjoying your videos and seeing more of your country. It’s nice to get a glimpse into the life of the average Russian family. Hope you had a wonderful time Kaluga
That “victory square” looks great! I love to travel locally. Actually, funny story, I was living in Sao Paulo (came back to my hometown because of the pandemic), and my husband and I knew more about the cities than our friends who are from there. Every weekend we would go explore some region or city. And we usually take our own food and stay at Airbnb’s. ♥️
Thanks for taking us along on your vacation. I enjoyed your informative tour of Kaluga and the sights it had to offer. Love older Russian architecture.
I loved this vlog and I hope you’ll share more Russian cities! I had a dream last night I traveled to Russia and then woke up and saw this on my playlist 🤣. I think this was my favorite of all of your vlogs so far. Thank you!!!
Hello, first let me say this channel is awesome! You guys look like such a happy family………..mature beyond your years! This is the first time I’m commenting, I do watch your videos regularly. I like the Eternal Fire memorial for the people of WW2, Also the building are so interesting! How cool is that…….you can get breakfast & visit a free zoo! I just really like the architecture & colors of these buildings! The view from the bell tower is simply amazing……….those clouds are a great contrast from the greenery around the town! I love that you teach about your countries history! Great video, outstanding channel & a wonderful family! Thanks for the great information, have a good day!
Of course I don’t know what your relationship for real but it seems like your husband is a sweet man and great father💓 this is a great vlog!! Thanks for sharing as always
Beautiful places in Russia, thank you for showing us those interesting small cities that otherwise we would not have seen. Your videos are so simple and real, love it. 👍👍👍
I totally agree with your thoughts about local travelling. I've had my driving licence for almost three years now, and since getting it, I've started visiting charming places in my area. You can always find worth-seeing places close to you.
Your videos make me feel so nostalgic! I grew up in Germany but my mom is Polish so I spent a lot of time in Poland when I was a kid. The lifestyle, places etc. you show remind me so much of these simpler days. I miss it! Everything feels a little different nowadays
Yes, I totally agree with you about local traveling. I live in Lithuania and my family and I really like to see places around us. We have like 5 bigger cities, but we very often visit places where only like 5 thousand people live, and there is still so many places to see and visit in that tiny city or just near it. We used to do this all my life and I remember every little trip we had. Great memories!
Hi guys. Ron from Hillsboro from the state of Oregon in the US. I love your vlogs. Please keep making them. I love your attitude and perspective on life in general. I agree completely. You do not need to dine in a fancy restaurant or go to experience shopping in an expensive boutique. Even the simplest things in life are something to enjoy. Life doesn’t have to be expensive. Enjoying the sights, the sounds and the beauty of places around you while spending them with your loved ones is happiness itself.
Oh, the Church of Cosmas & Damian was so beautiful, but it was heartbreaking to see it so damaged! There must be people that could repair it. Something so beautiful and old can't just be allowed to fall apart! That made me so sad. Even old and damaged, it's absolutely stunning. Can you imagine if it was properly cared for?
I admire you, English is perfect. It must be difficult to learn. I like your vlog, it's fantastic, honest, authentic and real. Quietly told without much fuss, just calm and informative, beautiful surroundings. Everyday life as it is. Thank you, greetings from Belgium.
I love the salute for Texas. I live in Pampa Texas and this was fantastic to see. Travel is a wonderful thing to see and do. You are right about travelling local to see the different sites and things to do in the smaller cities in your area. The Buildings that you are showing have beautiful architecture and decorations and Artworks reminding us of all of our humanities and we are all here.
Thank you so much for taking us along on your trip! How lovely to get to see a place I hadn't even heard of before this😊 Absolutely agree with what you said about local travel. A bonus about going to 'unpopular' places is that you avoid big crowds of tourists 😁 So fun to get to see the space museum! My mother actually met Gagarin when she was a child. He came to her school as a part of a tour of Europe after his pioneering journey to space.
O.m.g. I'm fascinated by ur channel and how you show us the surroundings and tell your stories. I completely agree that we don't need to go to hype places, you can explore everything ❤️ It's better for our own local community even, for being appreciative to what you can do etc. Totally on board with your idea! Love your sweetness and your down to earth attitude! So soothing and enjoyable to watch! ❤️ Loved Kaluga with u, very charming, lovely houses and the churches. The museum was masmerising, really interesting Yes, old interiors were elegant and authentic
I loved your talk about local travel. Recently I stopped at some roadside attractions I wouldn’t normally stop at while driving home from a friend’s house. It’s fun to play tourist even if it’s close to home!
I so enjoyed being with you on your trip and the home, in those times furniture and everything had a purpose. I wish you had stayed longer there. It all just warmed my heart. I am very wishy today so I wish I knew what you were eating but I do know you had some macaroni. Agatha, your husband and friend are a delight. I am also enjoying the music. Thank you.
I'm not sure how I found you, but I'm glad I did. I love how you keep it simple, yet entertaining and you feel very authentic, proving that is not needed to do stupid things or being annoying and egocentric like most RUclipsrs just to get subscribers. Russia is a country very intriguing to me and I love having the opportunity to see how normal life is there through the eyes of a local, so I hope I can visit it someday when this madness ends. Greetings to you and your lovely family from a Mexican expat in Slovenia 🇸🇮
I love how your husband always smiling
He has a sweet wife and little baby. He is in love.
I know the feeling 😁
@@jonvancil5547 I think that's his natural personality and it's not affected by life experiences.
@@pluutoop
Jon gave his kind opinion, and you felt the need to argue with him. Just why?
because he is a lucky man.
@@lovingmayberry2000 i don't see argue
Tolya looks like a genuinely good man. Like, he just has a vibe. Your family is really cute!
Yes you look as a very good family and Tolbya is so sweat Whith you and Whith Agatha . Bin huggs from Daniel from France...?❤🙏😉
People who are constantly unhappy and not in peace with themselves will never see nice things around them. And in general, we have to stop living life on speed, we have to look around us and be grateful for this day because we are alive. 🤗 I love how you think!
Yes!!
I agree
I agree as well! 😊
here here :)
Thank you for writing this, I really needed to read this today!
Vika, thank you for once again inviting us along for an adventure with you and your lovely family. I think that I speak for many people here who enjoy getting a peek into a world that we would normally not ever see. You have a talent for making these virtual trips, whether it is to a supermarket, a thrift shop or to another town like Kaluga in this video, an amazing immersive experience where we feel welcomed. Your videos feel very real and not at all staged, so it is like we are living another life in Russia along with some wonderful friends. Also love the music! Keep going Vika!
_ well said Roberto_
[Agata Team] sums up the family like a modern trade mark.
Vikas editing is excellent 👌
@@tanioraaura1274 Thank you, I also agree with you.
Cute, happy family and her command of the English language is outstanding.
Better than a lot of native English speakers on YT!
@@MothGirl007 true spot on, from Paddy land be safe
your husband seems so nice. his smile is so friendly. you really are made for eachother. thanks for taking us on this adventure
I just adore you and your little family you guys are totally awesome
yes, they are
That’s really special your dad taught you to appreciate your local culture. That’s a valuable lesson that clearly not everyone learns.
I think you can find excitement and new scenery anywhere you go, even if it’s your normal commute to work or school. Practicing mindfulness and being in the moment can make the same park you’ve come to 100 times feel new and exciting again. Travel is what you make of it, wherever you go! I watch these rich young RUclips girls take solo trips all over and they end up sucked into their phone, in their room, and not enjoying themselves even though they’re on some people’s dream trips. My grandma used to tell me “ Wherever you go, there you are.” which means, make what you can of your current situation because that’s the one you’re in right now. So whether you’re in the situation of being able to take your dream trip or just a local weekend getaway, make the most of it!!!!!!
I love your vlogs! I am a young, married student which is kind of rare in the US and I love seeing how similar our lives are. Small apartment, roughly same-sized city, taking little weekend trips :) We don’t have much, but we have everything we need, and we are happy.
I live roughly the same life as hers but based in Spain. I am 25, married and with a baby on that way :) we live in a rural home and appreciate the little things.

Sometimes I get the odd feeling that she is some sort of Doppelgänger of mine lol
It's good to hear of happy people. Your post made me smile.
I was laughing that your husband couldn't wait to start his meal.
Agatha is such a good traveler!!!!
As an American growing up during the cold war, I was surprised to see so many beautiful churches in Kaluga. I had assumed all of these lovely structures were demolished during Communism. In fact the whole cultural flavor seems to be hopeful and positive even considering the political nuance of the era. I don't think Americans were getting the entire story of Russia during that period in world history. Thanks for a great video, it made my day.
I was thinking the same thing. The Cold War was a really unfortunate time. I still have all kinds of crazy preconceived ideas about Russia and the former Soviet union. Seeing all those remnants of the Soviet era on this video actually made me feel a little bit tense. Then I had to laugh at myself. Just part of their history and culture. I pray for the peace and prosperity of Russia. I want them to prosper and be happy and free.
Many of the ancient churches survived, have been renovated and look beautiful. Some of them are 300-400 y.o. and much older.
I advise you to see the channel 'Real Russia' of vlogger Baklykov , especially his road trip of last year, as he showed ancient towns with particularly valuable churches, cities of 'Golden Ring' of Russia, along Volga, Karelia.
Some churches were demolished if there was need for that - to build something new on there location. But many were just transformed into utility building, like warehouse, schools or hospital. As a kid i was hospitalized into hospital which was a monastery before the revolution.
@@maria.5974... thank you!
Before the pandemic, I had the privilege of travelling a lot - for work.
Normal for me was a different country every week, 4 flights per week, usually via Amsterdam, because my local airport, BHX, doesn't have direct flights to most of the places I needed to go.
Never been to Russia, but the architecture and scenery in Kaluga remind me of Vilnius and Tallin.
I always stay in apartments rather than hotels if possible (apartments are not common in some countries) - gives me chance to visit local shops to get food.
I agree with you that there are always places to see - have found something pleasant, interesting and educational in every place I've visited.
Your husband's smile can lift anyone's spirits
I cant really explain it but your videos calm me.
My parents came from Russia but i was born abroad, watching you just live your life feels like home in a way.
Thank you and lots of love 💜
I agree with you. In my county’s lockdowns x 4 we could not travel more than 5km, then 10km then 25km as things got better. Our family really explored our area. Always something to see when you look. Best thing about travelling is experiencing how others live. I feel like I’ve been visiting Russia with you.
Dear Vika, I have to say, you really do a public service. Our family is experiencing a very tough time because of our son’s sudden health issue , and listening to you, your calm voice, your simplicity, helps me to calm down.
I hope your son gets well soon.
I love what you were saying about local travelling. People always have it in the back of their minds that big cities are interesting because they are popular, but travelling locally allows you to find hidden gems and it is a bonus that you support local businesses.
I just had a massive tough hour of anxiety/ feeling trapped in my head, this vlog is really helping me being calm and breathe normally. I spent a very peaceful moment thanks to you, please never stop vlogging youre really great for filming commenting and editing.
Glad my vlog was helpful! Take care💛
Glad my vlog was helpful! Take care💛
You are very nice. A very nice family. We ltalians love a lot Russia and Russian people.
so sweet, thank you, we also love Italia, Italian songs and Italian food, yum
@@Natashanjka if you ever come please be our guests, we have a villa on the hills overlooking Assisi, Perugia, Spoleto. Fantastic places.
I loved this ❤️ You are your daughter on the train was so cute!
I enjoyed the exploring around the city and that bell tower was AMAZING! The grass is so green in your country! I live in Edmond, Oklahoma USA and our grass is often burnt up and yellowed from the hot hot summer sun. It still has its moments tho! We have wonderful sunsets here! And I live very close to a super cool old Victorian built town called Guthrie! I very much believe in local traveling!
“the following trains will be delayed due to a cell phone rescue mission“. 😉
I enjoyed this video a lot, thanks for filming the landscape when you were on the train so we get an idea what the surroundings of your city is like. I also always enjoy watching you and Tolya interact with Agatha. You seem to be so relaxed with her, not stressed.
Hello from Australia! I love watching your videos and learning so much about Russian culture and life. Your family is so lovely and your comments about local travel is so true! We should all look around our regions and explore more. No need to spend thousands of dollars travelling overseas. Stay safe and thank you for all your wonderful videos.
Not only do you advocate a positive attitude toward life and things around you, but I am impressed with your fluency in English. I envy you the ability to express ourself and share your views and culture with others. Thank you.
My husband and I are big believers in “exploring your own state” (we are in the USA) and we love taking day trips during the weekends to places nearby. I have looked up places or we just pick a direction and drive....but I will say I enjoy seeing the places you show us. I love watching your videos.
Oh i love that.... Roadtrip🥳🥳🥳
I am also from Russia,but i am living in Greece since I was 8 years old and now i am 29 so i like your videos Very much.I love to see how are the things there.Keep up the good work that you are doing.
I’m so in love with the smaller cities in Russia, of course Moscow and Saint Petersburg are amazing, but Suzdal (Суздаль) definitely stole my heart 🥰
Kaluga looks so nice! Thank you for sharing 😊
Its really lovely sharing your story, you need to make the most of it with children, I know she is just a baby but all these moments are special memories and you will always remember them. It all goes in a flash. My wife and are in our 70's and have just celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary albeit it very differently to what was planned. We spent as much time as we could with our children when they were young and we've had a wonderful life with a few ups and downs but happily mostly ups! We now have some lovely grandchildren and the best thing with this scenario is you can give them back at the end of the day!! hehe
Congratulations on 50 mostly happy years!
Wow 50 years anniversary is a significant thing! Congratulations! And thank you for sharing your thoughts☺️
Happy anniversary From London England
I love architecture so it’s so interesting seeing what your area is like. Thanks for taking us along. It is so very interesting. Love your little family. Stay safe and God bless.
Hello! I love seeing what life is like over in your part of Russia. That space museum seems so fascinating to me, I do NASA space research in the US and would love to visit this place one day. Thank you for doing the local travel, for some of us globe-trotters, seeing what is local for you is what we would consider to be a wonderful, hidden gem. It's good to see such things appreciated and explored, this is how they are sustained! :D Cheers from America & Venus!
Vika,you're so right,ppl should explore their own cities and towns,there is still so much to discover. This video was so much fun and the three of you are such a sweet little family I found myself tearing up 😪 Agatha is a great little traveler,I nevet see her crying or being fussy,shes so adorable with her daddy. And I have to compliment you again on your grasp of english Vika. Ty for another great video!👏👏👏👍👍👍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Hi from South Africa again! Thank you so much for introducing us to your Russia in such an amazing way. The weather was actually perfect, such beautiful photography!
We have a beautiful and diverse country and South Africans love being outside to explore our towns and different parts of our country. Travel bans during Lock-down definitely increased people's appreciation for it even more!
My step dad worked for NASA at goldstone and I'll tell you your museum is just fabulous
I agree! My uncle Paul worked on the Apollo moon shots in the 1960s and early 70s. His specialty was food and hygiene systems.
Isn't it cool how her video is getting all us Americans with NASA connections excited as well? My great-uncle worked in Houston in the 1960s; my dad did contract work in Huntsville in the 1970s; a friend worked on the Cassini probe that went to Saturn. Just love this and when I get to go to Russia again someday, I definitely want to go to Kaluga!
Bold and Bankrupt be like ...ohhh, Soviet Space Mosaic!!!
Definitely after/during Covid I appreciate travelling in my local area a lot more. Now things are open, I'm finding my own city an adventure again actually!
Such a beautiful yet quiet city. Really like how big and clean looks.
I really love russian art and buildings. I studied Art History at Uni and had a subject about russian architecture, it was very interesting.
Much love from Spain :)
Agatha is such a cutie 🥰 sweet little one. Thank you for sharing your family and country with us. You’re like me….I love old buildings and way of living
I look foward to your vlogs! Thank u Vika for showing us your country and your beautiful family!
It was nice to see people traveling and NOT on their computers, iPads, phones etc. Fun trip! You are so right..there are things to do locally. I live only an hour and a half outside of New York City …and by far I’d prefer to venture around the local areas more than spending my time and money going there. It’s a lovely area that you explored.
That zebra bed is a minimalist's night-mare !
No, any ones night-mare : )
I am watching again at 0 .9 speed
Thanks for sharing.
🤣🤣👏🏼👏🏼🤣 oh my gosh, I thought, “What a nice place to stay, looks so cozy.“ Then up pops the zebra bedspread and I burst out laughing. I don’t mean to sound judgmental, but what a weird choice for whoever purchased the bedding for that place! Oh well, it made it fun.
Many cultures love that tacky look. Also syntetic satin etc..
@@rayyg786 I did not intend any offence.
Bed - dreams = joke.
But I get your point.
Such a lovely family. Keep safe always. ❤️
I also love local travel...... it’s very underestimated, but you can find the most interesting little places, museums and historic homes/sites. Thanks for showing us around Kaluga, I would never have seen this special place without your video!!
You are so right Vika, we often don't know our local area enough and everywhere has its beauties. Greetings from Scotland ❤️
It was wonderful to be able to join the family for a virtual tour of this "space" city. I will never be able to travel abroad to Russia, so I especially loved this video.
I grew up really poor in the US, but my parents always took us to places that were inexpensive and nearby. Local parks and hiking trails are totally free, after all. I never got to go to Disney as a child, but that didn't mean I felt neglected or like I missed out on something. I went to fisheries and local farms, parks and trails, beautiful places, art shows and performances. My parents really made the most of what we had, and I think I grew up better for their ingenuity.
I totally agree, traveling locally allows you to see so much of the world you never seen before and its only 30 minutes of driving :)
Love the apartment love the old historic city beautiful
Your father sounds like he always found great adventures for you. I would love an entire video of one of your train rides with your narration! Would love to see more of the the countryside there. You can see so many interesting things by train. And hello back from Texas!
You have a beautiful family. Your videos are very natural and easy to watch. Thanks for a peek into your corner of the world.
Love from the USA.
Going to make a cup of hot chocolate and enjoy this vlog before studying and getting ready for work tomorrow
Totally agree! I love local travel in South Africa because it’s helps me know my surroundings a bit better and yes! with an open mind you can always find a new & great adventure 🌸
I love your thoughts about local travel. Our attitudes have big impact on our daily life and future days. I find that curiosity is important thing as well. The best part of traveling is spending time and shared experiences with our family which create a strong bond, and a satisfying life. Love experiencing your Russia.
Thank you for this video Vika! Here in Argentina now is very popular regional tourism or countryside tourism and very tiny towns have now hotels and little museums and activities. With my mom we like to trip to those towns and spending time walking around and meeting the people. It's cheaper and beautiful. Greetings from Argentina, I'm studying for my last exam at university and watching your videos help me calm down.
I find your videos so interesting. I think its fascinating seeing how people live in other countries and I subscribe to similar channels from different counties but I think yours are the most interesting! Your English is amazing!
I love following you Vika and your family on your trips. Russia looks very beautiful and interesting. Warm hugs from Scotland 🙂
У вас прекрасная семья. Спасибо, что показали малоизвестную часть России. Еда выглядела такой вкусной, что одного было бы достаточно, чтобы поехать туда 😁😉
Thank you for sharing we learn a little about your country and the people and nature.👍
It’s so pretty there! I love how the buildings look so old and that space museum is amazing! I live in the U.S. I’m close to the ocean so I go to the beach as often as I can. I love it! I enjoy shopping at the little beach shops and eating seafood. I also live about 4 hours drive from Washington D.C. so I have made a few trips there to see our national museums. We have a national Air and Space Museum, but honestly, that one over there looks more intriguing.
I love these old, wooden houses with all the fancy fretwork. They look like something out of a Russian fairy tale. As far the church with the crumbling exterior - I find wonderful old structures in that state have a charm all their own. It looked like the roof was in good repair though, which is important. As long as the roof and the foundation is in good repair, the building will last.
Thank you for your time and effort to make these wonderful videos. Keep up the good work
I love this video! I am American, and visited Russia only once, but this made me "homesick" for things I remember. I love that all your cities have such respectful memorials for soldiers, and also they are full of art everywhere - statues, paintings, architecture and sculptures on the buildings. So many old buildings are still standing. Maybe not always in the best repair, but they are not torn down. The churches are gorgeous! And I agree - the old homes of famous people, are so interesting! In the US, if a building looks old, usually it is torn down to build something new - but that means a loss of history.
I love how the plants are green and growing like crazy in the summer there - and how they are allowed to grow a little bit wild. I love the scenes from the train and bus, showing the countryside - I visited a sweet family in a town in Siberia, and the countryside there is also beautiful! The yellow field near the end - is it sunflowers? I always think of sunflowers in Russia!
I am especially excited by the Space Museum in Kaluga!! If I visit Russia again, I want to go there! There is a similar museum a few hours away from me, in Huntsville, Alabama. Some of my relatives and friends have worked for NASA, and I think space exploration is so interesting! Even though there was tension between the USA and CCCP, I am grateful for how it pushed the US to grow in space exploration, and how all the world has benefited from the work of our two space agencies (and other countries' space agencies now also).
I like what you say about enjoying local travel. I belong to a Facebook group that shares ideas for local travel around our state. So many beautiful places I did not know!
Thank you again!
This life is vastly different from mine, where I live in the city and everything is fast-paced. But a peaceful home and family is just not something you can put a price for. You have something very special.
I LOVE your perspectives that you share on life in general, especially in regards to local travel. Lol I was actually just telling my boyfriend how much I love watching your channel because you seem like an everyday girl showing the world what life is like in your country. In other words, you're not inspiring envy like so many influencers do, you feel like a faraway friend showing us your world! Before watching this video, I also commented to my boyfriend how it's wonderful to even see the local travel you do as it's much more relatable to your average person. I think most people don't get to do so much travel to foreign & exotic places. For the longest time, I wanted to do bigger travel but I am so grateful for all of the local travel I get to do in the US. I agree with you, that every place can be fun & amazing, you just have to seek for it! A couple years ago, my boyfriend and I went to a wedding in a small town. The next day, instead of just going straight home, we did some local travel. We visited a historical home that was part of the Underground Railroad. We were the only ones there for a tour so we got to know our lovely tour guide very well! And then we visited a covered bridge that had beautiful wildflowers off the side of the road. I still look back fondly to that trip. Sure it's no Paris or Disney World but I truly believe that every place can be magical, you just have to be open enough to experience it.
You are very inspiring but not in the superficial way that many influencers/RUclipsrs are. You are inspiring because of who you are, the way you see the world, & your ability to be grateful for all of the wonderful things that you have and get to experience. Wishing you & your cute little family the best from a girl in the US 💗
You, your husband and your little girl bring a little sunshine into my day! 😊 BTW - I agree with you that it's best to travel locally. I live in a cute little country town in Northern Vermont, USA. (I love living here!) I used to want to travel across the USA to see places like Washington DC and the Grand Canyon. But it's lots of fun to take a bus and see Vermont's state capitol, Montpelier, about 47 kilometers away. I like to visit the small stores and just walk around. I hope you can google Montpelier, Vermont and see how pretty it is!
Oh i enjoyed that so much!! That was lovely, i love that you took the time to express how you enjoy the trips around local cities and towns because it's true, there's beauty everywhere and is also a matter of grate attitude, hope people follows you in that Sence, love it!! Love it!!! ❤️ Keep them coming!
Thank you, Vika, for showing us round the lovely city of Kaluga. I agree, it is important to visit areas local to us. I love hearing about Russian culture and seeing all the beautiful buildings Russia has to offer. Russia is a country I have always wanted to visit. Maybe someday! I am learning a lot about it from your videos.
I really enjoy watching people show everyday life in different countries - thanks for doing this! Beautiful church, and old neighbourhoods. The space museum was impressive as well.
I really like foreign travel, but maybe because I ride a bicycle a lot I also know that it's possible to explore your own city and region and enjoy it. It can be just small things - a garden, a cafe, a beautiful street or house - and these are often things that most people don't see or notice even if they live nearby. It's always refreshing.
Compliment your husband on his nice smile. :-)
Interesting tour of a city I knew nothing about but which looks much nicer than I would have expected. Very green and lush. And a fascinating tour of the museum and Tsiolkovsky's house. Makes me want to see them some day if I ever get to visit Russia.
This looks so interesting. So much history to everything in Russia. Love it. Also, its very nice of your friend to help with Agatha!
I really love your thoughts on local traveling an interesting places. To be honest... I always thought there's nothing to see in my town... I'm 40 now and just a few days ago I learned that we've a little temple in our town (since 1968!!!!) I was shocked that I didn't know about! Also just learned about our little Town Gallery, where local artists can exhibit their art two years ago... I was born here in this town, but always thought there's nothing to see.... man, was I wrong! And when you talked about local traveling I felt guilty of being someone like you mentioned, instantly... because I am... or I was... 'cause now I want to see those places I didn't know about.
You also can visit our bell tower.... the only problem (for me) is that it's getting very tight the more you go upstairs. ^^''' Which is the only reason I haven't checked it out until now, because I really love churches, bell towers, old houses and everything old (from the 18ths and the beginning of the 19th Century). So I really enjoyed watching your video, 'cause you showed so much I really adore. :-)
Have an awesome week and lots of love from Germany! :-)
Funnily I'm also from Germany and I had the same experience. I grew up in a suburb of about 2000 inhabitants and only about 5 years ago we realized that there used to be a manor (Rittergut) there, starting in the early 17th century and the old knight's graves are a 5 minute walk away from my house. It was fascinating. I actually love having friends from other cities or countries visit me because that way I always discover awesome things to see that aren't far away.
@@airotkiv We also have a Rittergut here, so I was pretty startled at first, when I read it ;) But I think there are many of those all over Germany, right? But it's pretty amazing when you realise it's that near to you. So awesome! :-) I'm living in a small town with a population a bit under 20.000 people... it's a nice town and I enjoy living here. :)
That’s what I was talking about, there are almost always little things to see☺️ Glad that you found out about the temple and the gallery!
Thank you for sharing your local travel philosophy and your fascinating trip! So enjoyed the architecture, historical sites and natural vistas. Watching your videos brings a sense of calm and peace. Your family’s love for one another shines through. Life’s simple pleasures are the most fulfilling when done with those we love. We also enjoy taking day trips in our local area and come away with a new appreciation for our beautiful part of the world here in Northern California.
that space museum is so sick, tbh didn’t even know that space museums were a thing! so soviet looking i love it
The whole problem is, there isn't any space. We are living under a dome. We can't even go many places on earth, how can we go to space..? ( MAG BITTER TRUTH M MAG DISTURBING TRUTH...).
@@ursulasmith6402 😂 thanks for the laughs
@@ursulasmith6402 i hope you dont have big pain because of stupidity
Its very nice museum, not sick
it’s a saying lmao, that’s what it means
I’m enjoying your videos and seeing more of your country. It’s nice to get a glimpse into the life of the average Russian family. Hope you had a wonderful time Kaluga
That “victory square” looks great! I love to travel locally. Actually, funny story, I was living in Sao Paulo (came back to my hometown because of the pandemic), and my husband and I knew more about the cities than our friends who are from there. Every weekend we would go explore some region or city. And we usually take our own food and stay at Airbnb’s. ♥️
Thanks for taking us along on your vacation. I enjoyed your informative tour of Kaluga and the sights it had to offer. Love older Russian architecture.
I loved this vlog and I hope you’ll share more Russian cities! I had a dream last night I traveled to Russia and then woke up and saw this on my playlist 🤣. I think this was my favorite of all of your vlogs so far. Thank you!!!
Hello, first let me say this channel is awesome! You guys look like such a happy family………..mature beyond your years! This is the first time I’m commenting, I do watch your videos regularly.
I like the Eternal Fire memorial for the people of WW2, Also the building are so interesting! How cool is that…….you can get breakfast & visit a free zoo! I just really like the architecture & colors of these buildings! The view from the bell tower is simply amazing……….those clouds are a great contrast from the greenery around the town! I love that you teach about your countries history!
Great video, outstanding channel & a wonderful family! Thanks for the great information, have a good day!
Of course I don’t know what your relationship for real but it seems like your husband is a sweet man and great father💓 this is a great vlog!! Thanks for sharing as always
Beautiful places in Russia, thank you for showing us those interesting small cities that otherwise we would not have seen. Your videos are so simple and real, love it. 👍👍👍
I truly love that you share so much about your region. The architecture and the view from the bell tower is so beautiful! Thank you so very much.
I totally agree with your thoughts about local travelling. I've had my driving licence for almost three years now, and since getting it, I've started visiting charming places in my area. You can always find worth-seeing places close to you.
Your videos make me feel so nostalgic! I grew up in Germany but my mom is Polish so I spent a lot of time in Poland when I was a kid. The lifestyle, places etc. you show remind me so much of these simpler days. I miss it! Everything feels a little different nowadays
Yes, I totally agree with you about local traveling. I live in Lithuania and my family and I really like to see places around us. We have like 5 bigger cities, but we very often visit places where only like 5 thousand people live, and there is still so many places to see and visit in that tiny city or just near it. We used to do this all my life and I remember every little trip we had. Great memories!
Thank you for showing us Kaluga. Excellent job
Hi guys. Ron from Hillsboro from the state of Oregon in the US. I love your vlogs. Please keep making them. I love your attitude and perspective on life in general. I agree completely. You do not need to dine in a fancy restaurant or go to experience shopping in an expensive boutique. Even the simplest things in life are something to enjoy. Life doesn’t have to be expensive. Enjoying the sights, the sounds and the beauty of places around you while spending them with your loved ones is happiness itself.
I think it’s hard for people to be excited about local travel but it’s so fun! I love exploring my own area and you can always find something new!
Oh, the Church of Cosmas & Damian was so beautiful, but it was heartbreaking to see it so damaged! There must be people that could repair it. Something so beautiful and old can't just be allowed to fall apart! That made me so sad. Even old and damaged, it's absolutely stunning. Can you imagine if it was properly cared for?
I loved this vlog!!! More more more local travel
I admire you, English is perfect. It must be difficult to learn. I like your vlog, it's fantastic, honest, authentic and real. Quietly told without much fuss, just calm and informative, beautiful surroundings. Everyday life as it is. Thank you, greetings from Belgium.
I love the salute for Texas. I live in Pampa Texas and this was fantastic to see. Travel is a wonderful thing to see and do. You are right about travelling local to see the different sites and things to do in the smaller cities in your area. The Buildings that you are showing have beautiful architecture and decorations and Artworks reminding us of all of our humanities and we are all here.
Thank you so much for taking us along on your trip! How lovely to get to see a place I hadn't even heard of before this😊 Absolutely agree with what you said about local travel. A bonus about going to 'unpopular' places is that you avoid big crowds of tourists 😁 So fun to get to see the space museum! My mother actually met Gagarin when she was a child. He came to her school as a part of a tour of Europe after his pioneering journey to space.
All so beautiful.Russia is a beautiful country!Kisses!
O.m.g. I'm fascinated by ur channel and how you show us the surroundings and tell your stories.
I completely agree that we don't need to go to hype places, you can explore everything ❤️
It's better for our own local community even, for being appreciative to what you can do etc. Totally on board with your idea!
Love your sweetness and your down to earth attitude! So soothing and enjoyable to watch! ❤️
Loved Kaluga with u, very charming, lovely houses and the churches. The museum was masmerising, really interesting
Yes, old interiors were elegant and authentic
I really liked this video. It was very interesting to see places and everything. Thank you for sharing. 🙂
The music you chose for your visit to the space museum was just perfect.
Thank you for you videos. For sharing your country and family with us. Beautiful scenery. I learn so much watching this.
You are wise beyond your years! Thanks for sharing!
I loved your talk about local travel. Recently I stopped at some roadside attractions I wouldn’t normally stop at while driving home from a friend’s house. It’s fun to play tourist even if it’s close to home!
I so enjoyed being with you on your trip and the home, in those times furniture and everything had a purpose. I wish you had stayed longer there. It all just warmed my heart. I am very wishy today so I wish I knew what you were eating but I do know you had some macaroni. Agatha, your husband and friend are a delight. I am also enjoying the music. Thank you.
Beautiful vlog. All of it. Music, scenery, narration were all lovely and most enjoyable. Thank you!
I'm not sure how I found you, but I'm glad I did. I love how you keep it simple, yet entertaining and you feel very authentic, proving that is not needed to do stupid things or being annoying and egocentric like most RUclipsrs just to get subscribers.
Russia is a country very intriguing to me and I love having the opportunity to see how normal life is there through the eyes of a local, so I hope I can visit it someday when this madness ends.
Greetings to you and your lovely family from a Mexican expat in Slovenia 🇸🇮
