Trip to Russian City Kaluga - space museums, suburban transport and bell tower | Travel Vlog Russia

- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
- We spent almost two days in the Russian regional city Kaluga and this trip was great. We walked about 21 km around the city, have visited the biggest space museum in Russia and the old house of Tsiolkovsky - a USSR space engineer. We got up on the Orthodox church's bell tower, spent 5 hours in total on suburban public transport with a toddler, and just had a lot of fun.
It would be my biggest pleasure if you join us and enjoy this trip too by watching this vlog✨
Thank you so much💛

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...?❤🙏😉
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
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
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.
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.
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!
Agatha is such a good traveler!!!!
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 💜
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 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 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💛
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!!!
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 :)
“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.
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’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 😊
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.
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
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!👏👏👏👍👍👍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
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!
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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!
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.
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!!
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 totally agree, traveling locally allows you to see so much of the world you never seen before and its only 30 minutes of driving :)
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
У вас прекрасная семья. Спасибо, что показали малоизвестную часть России. Еда выглядела такой вкусной, что одного было бы достаточно, чтобы поехать туда 😁😉
Love the apartment love the old historic city beautiful
You spent 3 hours on the train to go to the next town in the region. If I spend 3 hours on the train I’m in a different country. The size of Russia…! 🤣❤️ also the old men on the train playing cards and being responsible about their masks ❤️
But it's only an hour and a half by car, so it's not about the size of Russia in this case.
@@alh6255 oh well, in that case it’s the public transport system, I suppose.
@@lenalernova Not quite, the train they are using is not your regular intercity express train, those usually connect cities like Tula and Kaluga with Moscow. The one they’re on in the video are just regular regional trains that will stop on each and every small platform in the middle of nowhere so people in those remote regions can get to their respective area capitals, thus they’re slow. In Russia we say that this type of trains “bow down to every milepost” they encounter. :)
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.
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 following you Vika and your family on your trips. Russia looks very beautiful and interesting. Warm hugs from Scotland 🙂
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 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. :-)
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!
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. ♥️
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?
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.
Thank you for sharing we learn a little about your country and the people and nature.👍
This looks so interesting. So much history to everything in Russia. Love it. Also, its very nice of your friend to help with Agatha!
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. 👍👍👍
Travelling locally makes a lot of sense if you worry about the climate crisis & otherwise live frugally/economically & with intention/in proportion to your values. It truly is just a matter of mindset.
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
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
Ordinary people are the same everywhere around the world. We love family and joy in our daily lives. The internet has allowed us to see and appreciate that we are ALL connected. Only official powers everywhere seem to rely on us feeling separate. Keep your beautiful videos going and thank you for the insight into your daily lives ❤️😘
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!!!
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!
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.
You are wise beyond your years! Thanks for sharing!
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
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!
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.

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!
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.
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!
Thank you for you videos. For sharing your country and family with us. Beautiful scenery. I learn so much watching this.
Please Vika keep doing these videos because I always get such a comfy and homey vibe everytime I watch them. I love the simplicity and the spontaneity of your character plus your family is just so cute!
Love your videos! Makes me want to visit Russia!
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.
The music you chose for your visit to the space museum was just perfect.
I find you, you're family, and you're regional short trips very interesting. From Omaha to you, I am a big fan.
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.
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!
Living in a bigger city...I live in Denver, Colorado, USA, you often start to take for granted what's around you. I forget how beautiful the mountains are and just want to go to the ocean. You're right we need to explore our areas more. There is always something new to do or see
It snows in Colorado doesn't it? I live in Australia, and I'm often desperate to go experience the snow up in America or somewhere like that! I take our hot, sunny, beautiful beaches for granted alot of the time 😅 Its true, we always want something different than what we have, but we just need to be mindful of the beauty that we already experience!
@@risotto4life577 it does snow in Colorado. The snowy mountains are beautiful. I would love to visit Australia. Its on my bucket list. We're having a heat wave now. It was 100 degrees and. I love that our seasons are opposite that's so fascinating to me
@@susancarlson1908 And I'd love to visit Colorado! Australia is very beautiful, I'm sure you'd love it here. And yes! It's so funny how our seasons are opposite. The rest of the world is getting all hot and sunny, but it's been pouring with rain for days where I am!
That's why I enjoy and appreciate living in Scotland- I may be from and live in the capital city but then it's only a couple of hours drive until you get to the Highlands. Even picturesque settings just outside of the city. Best of both worlds.
i struggle with social anxiety a lot and watching your videos have given me the confidence to go places by myself again, Ive been exploring like crazy! thanks so much for sharing your life with me c:
I live near the beach in California. There is so so much to see around my area. I love exploring the pacific coast.
Beautiful Rusia , beaitiful people ❤🌻🌞
I loved listening to you talking about the trips your dad took you on when you were younger, you could hear how happy those memories make you in your voice.
Loved the video! Beautiful city, love to learn of different ways of living, food etc. Thank you for working hard on this one ❤️
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!
I just love watching you and your daily life.
I loved that apartment!
Hello and Thank you for all the cool footage of your family trip
I did not skip over your talk it was good, I agree small trips away are a great and low cost get away in NYC we can jump over to Boston which is fun or Philadelphia both cites about 2 or 3 hours away. via train car or buses.
I enjoyed the vintage musuem of the writer , so intresting. Your family is beautiful. Zzzz hope you slept well.
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 love your content. It's exactly what I would do in Russia, visit small towns and medium size villages. What I'd like from you is if you could tell us what items cost, you know, a meal, tea, bus ticket, train ticket, etc. Also if you could tell us how things work over there as far as what the government gives its citizens free and what you get discounts on. Once again, thank you for posting and please, more more more :-)
I’m so happy for you and your family for that beautiful trip, hugs from Guatemala 🤗🌸
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 🇸🇮
Russia is very pretty:) I'm Russian too and like it's my childhood place so yeah ur family is so adorable:) btw happy pride month and stay safe!
Wow you explained it so well! I totally agree with you about exploring your current place or places around it, since I am aiming to travel and experience more things while also spending less money.
Random fact: my twins birthday was last 9th of June. Just discovered it was the day Peter the Great (Пётр Вели́кий, tr. Pyotr Velikiy) was born. Hehehe One of my son's name is Yuri, after Gagarin. My other twin is Icaro. And... Korolev was a genius. I've read a lot about him.
This is such an inspiring video. It also reminded me to enjoy the moment, the "now". What is easily accessible can as well be equally interesting if you put enough thought into it. ❤️🙏 Thank you for the lush and serene Kaluga and all the inspiration. 🙏
The name of that town sounds like an old-time car horn, “KALUGA!”
I like the way you see beauty in simple things. The Soviet engineer's house was lovely.
What a beautiful country Russia is
I can't get over all the trees 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲
Thank you for sharing Russia with us
I feel like I actuality went somewhere 🙂
This is probably going to sound weird but it's a true story.
When I was born my doctor said my heart sounded like the Sputnik satellite 🛰
So it became my nickname in my childhood years
I forgot about it until you showed us all the Russian space memorabilia 👨🚀🚀
My mom from time to time lovingly called me Sputnik
Thank You 🙋♀️
Thank you for all the time you put into your videos to post maps, translate many different thing to English and to your husband and your daughter for all that they add
Kaluga's wacky weather reminds me of our weather here in Seattle, Washington! Although it is super sunny and warm right now :) . This particular video is an excellent travel vlog and made me miss traveling so much. I miss the wandering around a town or city and just enjoying the process of discovery. I loved how you shared your father's philosophy about traveling in that any place can be a wonderful place to visit! Also, I really like it when you take time to talk and share things. In my opinion it creates an atmosphere of the intimacy of friendship even though we are all online and have never met! Question: who is the cellist of the cello music you added to the part of the video when you are exploring museums in Kaluga?
I look forward to your videos, thank you so much for sharing!
