My wife spent some time in the Ukraine as an exchange student there. She would like to revisit. It looks like the locals in the village are quite friendly. Rakhiv has that small town charm with beautiful landscapes. The food looks all soooo goood. Thanks guys for another nice vlog and Thank You for allowing us to come along for ride. Your biggest fans. Harriet and Jim Richmond, Va.
@@MattandJulia My wife lived in Kyiv and Odessa and went to school at Pavlo Tychyna Uman State Ped University. It was years ago. She enjoyed her time there.
Yay. Another great video. I love to see all the beautiful landscapes, the people, the culture and the food. Kids are kids the same all over the world. Always wanting money. 😂😂😂. Stay safe. Always so good to see you two. ❤️
What a lovely video! The morning clouds in the mountains was beautiful. The town's were so quaint. Safe travels. I look forward to seeing the next one. ☺💕
Hello from Texas I just wanted to say Ukraine is such a beautiful place. And I also got to know 6 young beautiful girls from there. Today they are married living in the states one in Germany. They still talk to me when we have the time. I love watching and learning about this beautiful Country. 🇺🇦
Your film seem to last seconds. This is some of the best. No the very best editing I have ever seem in the hundreds of travel videos I’ve looked at. I know the Carpathian Mountains very well and you have shown me some thing new. Congratulations on another outstanding video. Sorry to go on but the cutting from mid landscape to far landscape to close landscape is incredible.
The music selection on this video was especially nice. And I love seeing all the beautifully presented food selections. I'm eager to visit Ukraine next month. You've multiplied my excitement to meet the people and try their food.
It’s been a few years since we were in Ukraine. But yes everything seemed to be a cash only society. And 1 out of 3 ATM’s working seems about normal. We worked with a translator and my wife thought she was drinking tomato juice in the morning. So one morning my wife got one. The shocked look on her face was amazing. When she got her voice back she says “now I know how to get a Bloody Mary” Still wondering were we that difficult that our translator needed to start her day with Alcohol? Thanks for bringing back memories.
All Ukraine is not the same as we see here. It is different. But here we see a beautiful corner of this country. Very good and easy to show it. Here we are all, all Ukrainians are resting in soul and consciousness ... You reminded me of this place. I am excited. Thanks!
After 1919 it was the part of Czechoslovakia. As part of Soviet Ukraine became after WW2. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpathian_Ruthenia#History?wprov=sfla1
Fantastic. I only discovered you guys a couple of months ago so I have a lot of videos to catch up on. I'd love to know which languages you both speak. The problem I have is that growing up in UK I feel it really wasn't encouraged to learn other European languags at all, to everyone's detriment.
Thank you so much 😊 we speak two languages fluently, English and Russian 😊 Yeah unfortunately, us Brits are quite bad with learning other languages. It is a shame becuase it opens so many doors, not to mention a whole new culture 😊
Judging by all the baby strollers, Rakhiv is quite a fertile town too... 😳😉 Kvasy is such a beautiful, peaceful and rustic village nestled in that beautiful valley and you captured the atmosphere so perfectly in your video!
Lovely vlog...I love the Carpathians, so beautiful and peaceful. So what was that scrumptious breakfast at the end of the video? They looked like corn cakes.
Looks like you guys had a great time! I've always wanted to go to the 'geographical center of Europe' but haven't made it yet. But the Carpathians are lovely -- not as impressive as some other European mountain ranges, I know, but so relaxing.
@@MattandJulia this is how I feel about the Pyrenees in Spain/France... Not overly dramatic but Soo beautiful, quiet and peaceful... I prefer it like that...
What nationality are you two and how many languages do you speak. I was trying to find a video on how you two met, and maybe the beginning of how you started this. I watched the first video but it doesn’t really say how this all started.
I was drinking kvass when I was in SSSR, it's a typical summer drink. They have it also in Balticum. In Sweden we have svagdricka, it also a summer drink.

the earliest roots of carpathian hutsul people who are living in ukrainian ivano-frankivsk + chirnivci + rakhiv raion & romanian suceava + maramures (they were called in 1100 AD the huci tribe and later came the romanian -ul ending) goes way back to the median busi tribe who were listed by herodot around 450 BC as one of the ancient westiranic median tribes, the busae. an oldiranic typicalness of some iranic languages or dialects was that not rarely happened that the bh sound shifted to h sound: busi>husi/huzi>huci & some variations of hutsul in romania are huzule or hutan. herodotus also wrote about the colonists from media called sigunians (shuhani is the main luri dialect and the lurs counts as one of the descendants of the antique medes), sigynians wore median clothing, had many median customs and they themselfes said (to herodot) they are descendants of the medes, so these median colonists sigynians settled sometime between 630 BC and 530 BC in transylvania. so i can bring some proofs/facts/similarities/expainings/theorizations to show the direct connection of proto-hutsuls with the medes, concretely the median busae tribe & the median sigynnian branch who settled in westromania. so genetically hutsuls are in first case a mixture of dacians/vlahs+slavs but from their origin(the old substrat) an iranic median sigynnian people (that means generally to a lesser degree median than dacian or vlahian or slavic but anyway enough genetically and lexicaly median percentage to be considered as a people of iranic/median origin). about when the sigynians came to transylvania exist 2 options, they left their homeland and moved via armenia/turkey to there around 640 BC (the following years after phraortes death when the things get bad for 28 years for the median kingdom because the assyrian-scythian mixed king made phraortes' son kyaxares for this time to a vassal in his own kingdom) or in the time around 540 BC (when the median kingdom collapsed and the persians took over). the historican strabo (who lived 63BC-23AD) wrote about siginians who lived near the south caspian sea (southwest caspia region like gilan & mazandaran & talysh mountains that means the areas where today gilaks, mazandaranis, talishs live), these siginians were the ones who stayed in media kingdom and didn't leave like herodot's sigynnes. strabo said about these siginians that in general they practise persians customs and he mentioned like herodot their small horses race which were shaggy long haired flat-nosed/short-snooted ponies that pulled a chariot or cart in a four-horse-team also often driven by women, maybe that small horse race is related to the eastcarpathian hutul-horses/ponies (but as a newer mixed breeding that originated from the sigynnian horses). where is the connection of the median subbranch of the sigynnes (apollonios wrote them also as sigunnes with u) and the luri people? you can see it in the name of the shughani dialect speakers of the lurs. somewhere i also read that sigynians where described as living alongside with an unknown gaulaki or guylaki tribe (possibly the gilaks are meant to be them but i don't have a concrete source to that statement anyway they sure have to be that siginians from elburz mountains of strabo). but i want go back to the topic with proofs that the hutsuls of the carpathian mountains were in fact of iranic median sigynian origin, the ethnicon itself for example besides the most possible explaining that it comes from the median busi tribe name, has also another 4 theories of it's meaning and etymoligical roots (until today nobody could say or proof what the ethnonym ghucul really means), the 4 other theories what it means are all iranic median =luri/leki/kurd/gilaki/garmsiri/behdinani/balochi cognates: 1. it comes from the gilaki word for "mountain"="qukh"(but in a median dialectical way it is more possible cuz there was in earlier times a between-sound of the letter k & g (like kg) so like gkukh' that leads to ghukh+ul(adjective ending) so the proto-huculian(sigynian-orientated) word/ethnonym would mean "the people from the mountains/mountainous people"(meant are sure the carpathian mountains rather than elburz or talishs mountains in my opinion)=ghukhuls=ghuculs. 2. gilaki word "houz" for "lake" so hutsuls would mean " people who live by the lake" (speculative said maybe it could even be the caspian who counts as the biggest lake of the word or just one of the smaller lakes in the carpathian mountains) 3. garmsiri word (if zarandi dialect counts as garmsiri but it's anyway very close related to garmsirian jirofti or kahnuji or marzigal-bashkerdi dialects) "guch"="ram/ibex/capricorn/battering-ram/mountain-goat" that means guculs are "people associated with rams/got something to do with rams (of the mountains)" 4. gilaki word "ghut" for "immersion" that would mean ghutsul mean "(water)diver/aquanaut" (like i said i see in first case the connection of hucul/huci name with the busi/busai tribe and as the factly most possible explaining of the hutsul-ethnonym). following words are typical hutsulian and have ties to westiranic median descendants' languages(luri,garmsiri,gilaki,laki,etc.): an interessting exclusive huculian word (that is not to be found in ukrainian language) with etymological ties to neo-median(luri/gilaki/balochi/kurdi/behdinani/bashkardi) cause it sounds related to these two gilaki words by meaning "hooz"(lake/pond) & "ghut"(immersion/diving) is huculian word "ghuk" and means "waterfall" so connected with watermasses/lake/diving somehow. another exclusive huculian word (not found in ukrainian language) is "kootüga" and means "dog" while in the luri language "katu" is "dog" these words are really close and belong to median dialects in origin (besides that word for dog in luri and in median language exist a second word for dog in median "spak" and luri "sag"). a huculian word (not in ukrainian language again) for "farm-animals/domestic-animals/livestock-animals" is "marga" what you can compare to the luri & gilaki word "morg" for "chicken/hen/rooster" what sure is etymologicaly related with the hutsulian marga. a typical ukrainian word what means untypical for the other slavic languages (what could really possibly be borrowed by ukrainians from the carpatian regions where hutsuls live) is the word "gharny"="great" which can be compared to the garmsirian bashkardi word "gohrt"="big" but not so sure about that one, better would be to see the balochi word "shar"="good" as of same origin/roots with the ukrainian "harny/gharny"="great/good/amazing", but the bashkardi word "gohrt" fits really good to the typical ukrainian word "gurt"="group"(a group is big so synonymous to the meaning big/large & by the way that word gurt i really think has etymological ties to the ethnonym kurd cuz there are 2 versions explaining the ethnonym of the kurds either with the meaning big collected group or great-group/group of related tribes/people-group or a more chauvinistic meaning like big people/important ones/heroes/huge or strong people), and there is another word that is only typical for ukraine "khata"="house" what shares the same origin/meaning like the yazdi-behdinani word "khäda/khda"="house". one last word is huculian "bardka" for "axe" while in the "modern-zoroastrian" behdinani/gabri language (spoken by the behdinan people in yazdi dialect) "barda" is translated as "spade"(maybe including spade-chissel and trenching-spade) these two words are surely related, also in the luri language exists the word "bard" but it means "stone" but it could be anyway etymologically connected to these behdinanian and huculian words and even to the word "bronze". the proto-hutsul ethnos was surely formed in the maramures region and some bordering north-transilvania areas/northwest-romania where the sigynians sometime between 100-500 AD mixed with the surrounding dacian population & vlahian shepherds (you can see the hutsul has also from vlahian shepherds' something mixed in their culture/clothing/hats) and a bit later came the slavic component(tiverians & whitecroats) in their ethnogenesis. it was either so that proto-hutsuls stretched out their territory more wider out to the north namely ivano-frankivsk, zakarpatia, chirnivcy regions of southern-west ukraine or these 2 slavic tribes came down after 600 AD and mixed with the daco-vlaho-sigynian proto-huculs in the bordering areas (south)ivanofrankivsk/chirnivtsy, at that time proto-hutsuls were possibly already romanized or i would better said nearly/not complete romanized by language. sigunnians had 2000 years ago surely 2 median identities: the word siguni has to be the same as the name shuhani (what means one of the main dialects of lur people) so it's showed their median subbranch language-identity, but the other identity was the tribe-identity the word that would later become the ethnicon hucul that means they had seen themselfes as belonging to the husi/huzi/huci tribe what is a dialectical changing of the word busi, means the origin of the huculs can really might be the median busae tribe. the last thing i wanna say about the sigynians what herodot thought about what their ethnonym could be, that name he used to detonate as "spear" or on the other hand to associate it with "traders"(or "hucksters") but he just speculated.
Nice, beautiful, neat and quite places. I liked the cream dish you had for dinner. I guess you hv to have cash and speak the local language to survive ? 😀 Thanks !! 🙏
I wonder. How is the life in Carpathian region? What jobs do they get after graduating from schools? Would it be easier for women to find future husbands? Agriculture, Sightseeing...
Beautiful couple like your video exploring Ukraine beautiful villages it's heaven in earth .hope more countries, cuties ,villages if different country you show in your videos .thanks with love and regards🌹🌹🌹🇵🇰

Actually, the probably the best word for kvass is bread beer. And if there is one thing that is originally not supposed to be in kvass it's hops. Because it's basically a very very light beer made with old bread, without hops. Also, maybe a little bit too bad you didn't give the kids some change. I know it Could (just sometimes) give the wrong signal, but in my opinion: not in this case. And also: Why not.
This breaks my heart to see what Putin has done to Ukraine. What a pretty place. 😭

regions where hutsuls live) is the word "gharny"="great" which can be compared to the garmsirian bashkardi word "gohrt"="big" but not so sure about that one, better would be to see the balochi word "shar"="good" as of same origin/roots with the ukrainian "harny/gharny"="great/good/amazing", but the bashkardi word "gohrt" fits really good to the typical ukrainian word "gurt"="group"(a group is big so synonymous to the meaning big/large & by the way that word gurt i really think has etymological ties to the ethnonym kurd cuz there are 2 versions explaining the ethnonym of the kurds either with the meaning big collected group or great-group/group of related tribes/people-group or a more chauvinistic meaning like big people/important ones/heroes/huge or strong people), and there is another word that is only typical for ukraine "khata"="house" what shares the same origin/meaning like the yazdi-behdinani word "khäda/khda"="house". one last word is huculian "bardka" for "axe" while in the "modern-zoroastrian" behdinani/gabri language (spoken by the behdinan people in yazdi dialect) "barda" is translated as "spade"(maybe including spade-chissel and trenching-spade) these two words are surely related, also in the luri language exists the word "bard" but it means "stone" but it could be anyway etymologically connected to these behdinanian and huculian words and even to the word "bronze". the proto-hutsul ethnos was surely formed in the maramures region and some bordering north-transilvania areas/northwest-romania where the sigynians sometime between 100-500 AD mixed with the surrounding dacian population & vlahian shepherds (you can see the hutsul has also from vlahian shepherds' something mixed in their culture/clothing/hats) and a bit later came the slavic component(tiverians & whitecroats) in their ethnogenesis. it was either so that proto-hutsuls stretched out their territory more wider out to the north namely ivano-frankivsk, zakarpatia, chirnivcy regions of southern-west ukraine or these 2 slavic tribes came down after 600 AD and mixed with the daco-vlaho-sigynian proto-huculs in the bordering areas (south)ivanofrankivsk/chirnivtsy, at that time proto-hutsuls were possibly already romanized or i would better said nearly/not complete romanized by language. sigunnians had 2000 years ago surely 2 median identities: the word siguni has to be the same as the name shuhani (what means one of the main dialects of lur people) so it's showed their median subbranch language-identity, but the other identity was the tribe-identity the word that would later become the ethnicon hucul that means they had seen themselfes as belonging to the husi/huzi/huci tribe what is a dialectical changing of the word busi, means the origin of the huculs can really might be the median busae tribe. the last thing i wanna say about the sigynians what herodot thought about what their ethnonym could be, that name he used to detonate as "spear" or on the other hand to associate it with "traders"(or "hucksters") but he just speculated.

Just up the hill
After a few videos, it is hard to watch. Beautiful scenery but there is poverty and an expensive artistic building next to the dirt and gravel roads.
So nice
Thank you!

Actually, the probably the best word for kvass is bread beer. And if there is one thing that is originally not supposed to be in kvass it's hops. Because it's basically a very very light beer made with old bread, without hops. Also, maybe a little bit too bad you didn't give the kids some change. I know it Could (just sometimes) give the wrong signal, but in my opinion: not in this case. And also: Why not.
If we didn't film something - doesn't mean we didn't do it 🙂
Brlarus, Ukraine, Slovakia, Austria and Poland all claim to be the center of Europe, but only Lithuania is in the Guiness book of records.
