    Hope you are enjoying this series with my family! ❤
    For those of you asking, Matt is currently in Kazakhstan, working on our future video and channel plans!
    We are so excited for what is coming and can’t wait to share more soon! And of course I can’t wait to see him very soon! 🥰
    Lots of love to you all ❤️

      I am enjoying you sharing life in Siberia and Russia with your family. Hard to imagine how cold the winters are as I grew up by the beaches of Southern California, USA. I lived in Kansas and Idaho during snowy cold winters but strangely when I lived there they were experiencing their warmest winters ever so, i never was bothered by the snow but rather enjoyed it. Be safe. Take care!😎🏜❤

    Strange that we in the normal USA (rural folks) could sit down and have supper together. Please know that there are many people who love Russia and it's culture. Me personally love the Bolshoi and The Nut Cracker.

I love the backyard vegetable gardens, I grew up with such a garden and still remember the taste of freshly picked homegrown produce 😋 Not many people on the streets, it seems quiet. That birch is beautiful! Enjoyed you sharing the area where you grew up and recalling Gran's description of community life at that time. I hope your aunt will enjoy being retired once she get used to it. So glad that Gran is much better. Lots of love to all of you ♥️♥️

    It must be very hard to be without Matt at the moment, can he come to Siberia soon? Do you have dual nationality as you’re married?
    You speak English so amazingly well!!!! Where did you learn it?
    Where do your Mum and Dad live? Do you and Matt have other jobs in the past or have you always done UA-cam? Perhaps you could do a Q & A sometime, if you haven’t already?
    I really love watching your vlogs!! I think you were very brave travelling alone for such a long distance and crossing borders!! I would be anxious just short distance in U.K. where I live.
    Very interesting to see the trains, buses and beautiful landscape. Hope Matt’s ok and you’ll soon meet up again!! Hugs and love to you both from UK 🙏🏻🌻🍦🥰🙅‍♀️🙅‍♀️

    Birch trees are very important in any cold wet climate, it is paper to start fires. It starts fires easier than paper when used correctly. My family lived on a small island back in my great grandfsthers day in Newfoundland, it was called Birchy Island. Great timber for wood woodworking as well.

    Hi Julia( and Matt in Kazakhstan) 👋. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I love watching Julia and her sister walking around town and especially like seeing "Gran" cooking some special dishes. It's always interesting to hear about traditional remedies for taking care of an illness. Every culture has "timeless cures" for getting over a "cold or sore throat". When I visit different countries I am always grateful to learn of these traditional methods as they are fascinating to me. Julia, your "Auntie" and your "Gran" are such strong, hardworking and independent women. They have certainly set an excellent example for you and your sister. Have a wonderful time in your hometown, please say hi to Matt when you talk with him. Hope the rest of your family(and Matt's) are well and happy. Looking forward to what special treat you will be cooking in the next video. 😋

What a change now! nice garden, I have a garden but only grass in my Buenos Aires home. But what I have in common is that I also have an old bathtub using it as a flowerbed, we renovated the bathrooms and removed it but it was so heavy that the easiest thing was to put it outside....I hope you keep your promise to upload recipes... .I looked for the recipe for Courgette caviar but they put sugar in it, I'll see how it turns out without that ingredient that I can't eat due to my diabetes. Most of the comments you receive are positive but there are some .... what patience you must have, I admire you!

    Hello from Kettle Falls, (eastern portion) Washington state in the United States. I have cold and snow here for about 5 months in the winter, but I’m only at latitude 48.6 N, about the same as Volgograd, so definitely not so cold as Siberia! Watching your videos is so fun and enjoyable. Such great and interesting adventures! I hope your Gran stays well. She is feisty, independent and so efficient (making your jams before you can get to them). She must truly be your treasure. Your auntie Olya has a sharp wit and sense of humor. You wanted pumpkins from her garden, but she says you came too late to decide if they would be planted. Ha! But such a beautiful garden! You made me curious as to what kind of special apples you made into jam. Our state is know as the best place for apple growing in our nation. By the way, Washington state has many birch trees as well!
