I'm still Johnny stuck in 2007 living on West Coast working a Corporate job with 20 years of clutter. It would take 3 Semi Trucks to store all of my things. Thank you for letting me live vicariously through you and your 5 shopping bags of your amazing new life Bro!!
@@JohnnyFD The only good news is that I haven't had to wear a tie since 2008. The bad news is that I've lost over 80 weeks of unused vacation days, that didn't roll over. At least I found your channel. Baby steps.
It is so strange watching your videos now, knowing the horror that is going on in Ukraine as we speak. I have been enjoying your story. I hope your places somehow survive ok. I know you got out ok. I am so sad for the people of Ukraine. You really showed in your videos how beautiful these cities are (were).
This is first time I saw this video, I don’t know how I missed it. However I see how excited and happy you are and now with what’s going on with Russia I can understand why you didn’t want to leave your home. I really hope things go well for you Johnny. You will be in my prayers.
I feel awful for Johnny, but Jesus do i fee bad for Tatiana. I hope to hell she’s out, and would hate to be in a position where I put in the effort to be a real estate lawyer only to be exiled from the country where all the laws i studied applied.
This is awesome to watch man. I was born in Izmail/Odesskaya Oblast' and have only visited once since I moved to America 23 years ago. Nice to see the excitement on your face throughout your moving process. Keep on keepin' on g
Hey Johnny, really interested by the fact that you wanted to move to Ukraine, quite rare for a westerner. Do you have a video in which you talk about why? I'd be really interested to know more
Johnny, congratulations on your new place, I'll eventually be buying a place in Kyiv myself. watching your process and things to do and to avoid has been helpful =)
Nice apartment. You should do a vlog on the Gorodetsky House (also called the House of the Chimaeras), it is located just northeast of your building, but mostly uphill, in the government zone. Somehow all you vloggers have missed it.
If I had vlogged moving in to my brand new apartment in Tunisia it would have given this video a huge run for its money. I rented with only $100 down and roughly $375 for the first month's rent. BRAND NEW, never lived in two bedroom flat on the third floor of a new building over a new Carrefour!! It was a bit of a pain navigating the utilities and shopping for a flat top range, refrigerator and furniture. But it all worked out great and for the 4 months I stayed there I slept on a sponge on the floor and had WiFi from the coffee shop downstairs. I really miss Tunis. 2 hours from Istanbul. These videos bring me back to my travels through Istanbul to Tunisia and Nigeria.
Man, undrinkable, completely! No way, especially in the center and in Podil district. Only ordered water, you can have 2 huge 18,5 lit bottles for 150 uah. And filtered water is for cooking only dont drink from that filter. And yep, congrats, awesome content!
i feel so bad watching your vids man , and you are not home ... im so sorry johnny man if you ever come to michigan you are welcome, if you ever come to damascus syria you are welcome into my home man you and bald of course! feel better brothers things will get better.
You never used a microwave before? you don't run it without food/water inside, and especially you don't run it with metal inside. Lots to learn in the new house. Congrats.
Good stuff Johnny 😊🇺🇦 I am going to do the very same thing at IKEA Odesa to find some things for our apartment. Always good to have some help as the fixing can be tricky 😉 Enjoy your new life in the capital.
@@JohnnyFD not sure I’ll check it out later . I got a bit confused in Kyiv recently as went to one place via the internet and it didn’t exist and another one was order only ( front desk thing ) . I’ll see 😊🙏
Hey man, that $7 water kettle is terrible. My hotel had that one, smelt like burning plastic. Sometimes you get what you pay for. And, the closest thing to Amazon in Ukraine is Rozetka.
I've used it for some time now, it smells fine thankfully, but takes forever to boil the water. I hate Rozetka by the way, it's more like Aliexpress than Amazon even.
Hey Johnny I didn't know you were a muy thia fighter before..I think probably you were in American service jn the past..your clips are great..I am enjoying and learning alot.. I also follow your biritish friend.fantastic keep up the good job in Eastern Europe.
According to the World Health Organization, low mineral drinking water produced by reverse osmosis (RO) is not suitable for long term human consumption and in fact, can create negative health effects to those consuming it.
Johnny, Please stop buying all the cheap stuff for your place. We have a saying it's better to buy 1 good thing than 10 bad ones! PS I bought a condo myself a few years ago in Kiev as well. Cheers!

That used to be my life as well, it would take multiple trips with a UHAUL to move. Remember this. Clutter Kills Your Soul.

So sad,,,beautiful country, beautiful cities
Beautiful people...
Go to he'll putin!
I thought exactly the same
They still are, gladly. Only the northern suburbs of Kyiv are destroyed, russian army retreated.

Good to see you've moved in Johnny, been following your journey since Sri Lanka!
Microwaves the instructions. 😂
Oops 😬
I was thinking to myself "you're really not supposed to run a microwave empty" but it turns out it wasn't empty!
@@JohnnyFD If the stench dont go away, try vinegar
@@JohnnyFD cheers 🍻👍👌
Thanks Johnny - fun fun fun who doesn't love moving in!
Johnny, congratulations on your new place, I'll eventually be buying a place in Kyiv myself. watching your process and things to do and to avoid has been helpful =)
Did you buy it in the end?

Exactly how I moved into my apartment 10 years ago. Mattress on the floor and 1 chair
Glad you found great apartment and very professional solicitor, Good effort.
I did the same thing wen I got my place 2009, I still here today but now I have so much staff is insane!
why is this so comforting to watch
*Well Done Johnny 🔥👌 Congrates for your upcoming carrier and much love from Sri Lanka !!!* 😊👍
|🇱🇰 🎁🎉️🎊️
Johnny love your positive outlook and Congrats. :)
You almost set the microwave on fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm happy you are safe. It's just stuff. I pray 🙏 for the people of Ukraine. Right now it's not looking too good.
I’m the same I’m very minimalist and less cluttered.
Painful to see how nice the city is in this video.

Amazing congrats! Keep up the good vibes Johnny 💪
it is a thing like amazon in ukraine . named rozetka

Is the one in Odessa a real IKEA? I think it's just a reseller of IKEA stuff.

@@БогданКрадько thanks for that
Johnny.. best wishes👍 from İstanbul 🇹🇷
Anyone wishing he would go back to visit turkey again , loved his Turkish videos 🇹🇷❤️
Congratulations on moving in to your new place! I cannot believe that you took an Uber ho e from IKEA with a mattress! Too funny…
So awesome man! Congrats!
Hİ johnyy thanks so much nice vlog good day and best day paka paka....:))
Hi Johnny, you didn't buy a vacuum cleaner.
Just an idea to have a Murphy bed to make the optimal use of space.
I'm so confused. How many places did you buy?
ALWAYS WASH sheets/bedding, towels, clothes (including underwear/socks) BEFORE USING!!!!! lol
congrats, you got ur apartment in the right location. on basseyna street somewhere.
I would sleep in the room with the A/C. It hasn’t been 55 at night for quite some time…
Wow Johnny I would not give poa No! I'd stay to close the deal.
Great apartment in a awesome area, completely jealous. Who was your realtor ? And by the way t
Don't drink the water!!! I made that mistake before
ENJOY JOHNY YOUR NEW APARTMENT KIEV UKRAINE
If guess frugal buying isn’t necessary. Are there not any Thrift stores or second hand furniture store in Kyiv?
So cool...you did this...I'm planning on doing the same in Thailand 🇹🇭
👣
you should start a blog , I'd watch that how you buy a place and settle down in Thai.
Hey man, that $7 water kettle is terrible. My hotel had that one, smelt like burning plastic. Sometimes you get what you pay for. And, the closest thing to Amazon in Ukraine is Rozetka.
I've used it for some time now, it smells fine thankfully, but takes forever to boil the water. I hate Rozetka by the way, it's more like Aliexpress than Amazon even.
@@JohnnyFD why do you hate Rozetka? Free shiping and you can order litteraly everything.
Amasing video love it ceap em coming sir
all the love from norway
Is there a washer in the kitchen and in the bathroom, too -- 2 washers?
Congrats man!
Johnny, I saw you in Kharkov today. In the center, you crossed the road.
Q: Why did the Johnny cross the road?
A: _________________________
@@JohnnyFD it was not you in Kharkov?
An advice, take Engin for a week or two and double down to do some renovation.
Hey lets just turn the miceroway ON i dont care if there could be anything in there before i start it lol
Did you like the pillows? I also plan to get a new pillow, mine is very hard
Yes they are fantastic, super comfortable to sleep on. A bit small though, but really good to sleep on.
@@JohnnyFD Thanks for letting me know! Going to Ikea then 😅
Johnny, what did u do for work before? Congrats on your apartment. You should definitely invite Mr. Bald . Anyways Congrats on everything.
Hey Johnny I didn't know you were a muy thia fighter before..I think probably you were in American service jn the past..your clips are great..I am enjoying and learning alot.. I also follow your biritish friend.fantastic keep up the good job in Eastern Europe.
Water is Kyiv is not drinkable.I got an infection. The jug filter thing doesn't work either.Better install a water RO system directly or buy water.
According to the World Health Organization, low mineral drinking water produced by reverse osmosis (RO) is not suitable for long term human consumption and in fact, can create negative health effects to those consuming it.
@@JohnnyFD thanks mate! didn't know that.I usually order water in kyiv from those online water delivery companies.
@@JohnnyFD thats why all new RO sistems have mineralisation option included.
👍👍👍 congrats !!!
Hey johnny ..great videos. Enjoy watching your journey. Great place .Can anyone buy property in kiev. And isnt US strict on taxes.
The price of the microwave and pan makes me think it must be tough for the locals.
7:32 that Mongol king look
Congratulations Hope this works out for you.
What net yield do you get from the apartments and how easy to manage the airbnb aspect?
In Kiev, around 10-15% yields. You can hire an Airbnb manager.
@@JohnnyFD That's pretty impressive. Thanks mate. I'm absorbing all your content and plan on moving out there for a while so it's immensely helpful.
Johnny slowly becoming my favorite youtuber
1:51 she loves counting money look at her eyes...LOL
Cool Nice city !=8)
No mosquitoes in Kiev? notice no insect screen on windows.
Damn, Johnny breathing like he did need the COVID vaccine
Bro Be careful with the microwave 😂
Now you tell me.
You could've burnt down your entire house with that microwave before you even lived in it for a day ! Phew that was a close one
Where did you get USD in Ukraine?
Wow! Hej hej, hur mår du! nice!
I’ve always wanted to visit the Ukraine 🇺🇦. Hopefully one day I bite the bullet and attempt to go. I need to get out of my comfort zone of California
Yeeep, visiting Ukraine is a complete comming out of your comfort zone, belive me, I live here)))
Congratulations !! Does Ikea Kiev not deliver goods to your home ?
They do, but I wanted the mattress the next day and not next week. Plus shipping was expensive.
It's not a Johnny FD video without you randomly walking around topless
Hope you enjoy the FSB provided Wifi. 😂😂😂
How is your Swedish pronunciation so good? Hej, hur mår du was pretty perfect
Tak my Swedish ex girlfriend =)
How much it was totally? That is great place to live. Congrats:)
The apartment was $145,000 total.

"totally"? Totally d00d!

When in Sweden, you gotta speak Swedish. 🇸🇪 🙃
you should wash all the linens before you use them
How quiet are these old buildings?
Extremely
@@JohnnyFD So i your neighbor has a surround sound system or music playing you won't hear it? What about smells? Is the building musty?
22:25 Agreed!
why did you not buy a bed which ever size you want for that room
most likely that bed was for his other room, but wanted to see it for size in his main bedroom
No TV but plenty whiskey..... somebodies gonna get fuurrked
Like I can’t even watch this video after everything that’s happening right now

Since you're shopping IKEA, get she tools, and a utility knife if you already haven't done so.
