- Here is part 1 of our three part video series exploring Kyiv Ukraine! We are so excited to share this city with you. Kiev surprised us with its stunning churches and cool places to visit and yummy food. On our first day we visit the deepest spot in Kyiv and the highest tower. Kiev holds the world record for the deepest subway station second only to one in North Korea and you won’t believe how long these escalators are. Wow! The subway was not the only underground adventure of the day. We explored Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, the famous orthodox monastery that has an extensive cave system of catacombs and then went up for a skyline view from the stunning bell tower. The nighttime drone footage may be some of my favorite. Sunset of these gold domes really is a sight to see. Kyiv is such a cool city and we cant wait to share the rest of this series with you!

Those drone shots of Kiev are epic!
Thank you!! It was so awesome being in a beautiful city that we can fly it and the gold domes from above are so beautiful!
The timing of that intro with the train coming was awesome!! 4 minutes and 30 seconds - that's crazy!! Did your ears pop at all? That's so far down. Your little picnic looked cute and that monastery is a dream! I would LOVE to go down to those caves one day. Do you have to cover your head in most orthodox churches in Ukraine?
I second this! The intro with the train was perfection!!
Guys thank you!!!!! We wanted to start the vlog like that and then some post production magic made it look so so awesome🥰! Really really appreciate you all commenting and appreciating these little things that we put so much effort into 🥰 truly Thank you!
Thank you for appreciating the intro!!!! We were so excited to start the vlog like that and even more excited when we got it to look so good in post ☺️. Our ears did, its so crazy. Made every other escalator feel like a waste of electricity 🤣 I would say about less then 50% of the orthodox churches in Ukraine the women cover their hair.
The monastery is beautiful! It’s always so hard to share places you can’t film. Our next video has some of that. Lol enjoyed your bloops going to the bottom of subway for accuracy 😂💕love it
Yay! So glad you enjoyed it. We love the funnies in the end its just fun and real haha. But yes it's one of the hardest things to vlog about stuff you can't film because there's no supporting footage for it and people usually want to see the thing you're talking about.
I so wanted to hear the bells!!!
Us too, they must have had a dinner break because they rang the next hour haha :)
Omg, those escalators go on forever!
They really do. Cant even imagine if they stopped working 😳
I seriously wouldn't have patience to wait that long on an escalator haha I would be ringing all those bells. I enjoyed this vlog! :)
So glad to hear you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching and telling us- means so much to us 💛💛 it was a long ride haha
Oh my gosh I thought you were going to run into the camera at 2:20 hahaha. My heart skipped a beat. Also what camera and drone do you guys use? All your shots are stunning! Love the bloopers. 😂 "Just waitin for the bells."
Hahahaha glad you are enjoying the bloopers I love sharing our mistakes and just silliness 😆

That is all the gear we travel with. Minimalist everything else but not so minimalist with the tech.
Wow that was a huge escalator!! I think when we took the subway in Paris that was the longest (and creepiest) escalator ride we've been on. Too funny that Yevhen timed it twice 🤣 I Iove bringing food for picnics, such a good option to save money and eat healthy. Great views from the bell tower!
We really love picnics. I think we have done one in every country 😀 Yev wanted it exact haha 😆
Awww you guys! Your vlogs just get better & better 👌 😀
Awwwww thank you 😊 means so so much coming from you both! Yev says the one coming out tonight is his favorite Ive made. I live that we get to share Ukraine and in this next one alittle about their fight for freedom
That is a loong escalator. I laughed at the end when you guys had to do it again 😆 it was cool to see the bell tower, but it would have been really cool to see them ring! Great idea to warm up after 😊
So crazy we heard them ring the next day 🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️ so just not when we were there, probably good for our ears 😆
whaaat? how freaken cool is that escalator, great editing guys, loved the drone footage! Those bells looked amazing, cant imagine how loud it would be if it went off whilst you were there! whahahahaha how funny that you had to redo the escalator - hahaha! Accuracy is king! loved the funnies at the end, laughed so much because we can relate like you have no idea....
Hahaha 😆 I love how relatable bloops are 🤦🏼♀️ haha It would have probably been so so loud but fun for the vlog 😆
Can't (actually CAN) believe you rode the escalator twice for the footage ;)
Wasn’t actually for the footage it was because the timer got messed up and you know Yev... He needed to know the exact time not a ball park. Haha 😂
What in the world would it cost to create a subway system from scratch that deep...which is what you'd need in many cities because so much other infrastructure is already built? Wow.
Oh, and #GoldenHourDrone greatness.
We have absolutely no clue but it's more money than I can comprehend for sure. It will be interesting to research actually. I'll comment again of I find out. It was a little to dark and a combination of probably bad settings on the drone so it's not the best quality but it was stunning for sure!
Hi I'm flying to Kyiv next week just wondering about entry did the ask to see a negative covid test and medical insurance? Are the hotels and shops all open?
The hotels, restaurants, and shops were all open a week ago and masks were required in stores and on transportation. We were asked for proof of medical insurance upon arrival. We were coming from Turkey and at the time of our arrival negative covid test on entry were not required from there. Depending on where you are coming from it may be required. Enjoy Kyiv!!!
