Love your carefree demeanor.the childish enthusiasm before you embark on an unknown journey.the cheerfulness you maintain on a dull n lonely road.have to hand it to you.👏👏
Hey, I'm actually from Belarus, from a little village called Gorodiolvo, near the little city Molodetshno (one hour car drive from minsk)...getting a bit homesick watching your vids. I'm living for over 20 years in Germany now and visit once a year my family in Belarus. Great content m8, love it!
@Parma zyxwvu Its pretty difficult to get a proper job in belarus and climb up the latter...and since the payments are so low u wont get a chance to see a lot from the world. The rest of my family still lives in Belarus, so they know what they are talking about. Sure some things are rly cheap but dont forget that a standart months payment is about $ 300...
well that’s probably because you’re planning to go back to your starting point right? bald doesn’t do that, he just keeps going. can’t really get lost if you don’t need to go back.
I find this to be the perfect antidote to the modern, Western world- the superficial crap. Watching this is so relaxing. The stark scenery, the ‘grimy’ weather; it’s bleak, but strangely calming. I love it! Thank you so much for sharing your offbeat travels 💙
thats because everyone hates their own shit now ask these villagers how they feel about their life and with their moody weather ? they are probably depressed as fuck and want to live in more developed country
Yeah, people living in some of the worst poverty in a developing world probably think it's super "relaxing". I have multiple friends in Russia and from Russia and it's awful there, they rather want to get our or never return now that they are out. Massive civil rights violations, disgusting and abhorrent infrastructure, drug problems, domestic abuse problems, alcoholism, etc. By taking some sort of weird "relaxing" pleasure in seeing the legitimate downtrodden in a country that DESERVES to be rich, you are basically what you hate, a disgusting part of the modern, Western world.

Thank you sir... I am from the Caribbean and I can now afford to visit Belarus through you. Where are *WE* going next? I will pack a few sandwiches and a flask of tea.
Once more, I'm amazed how little litter there is and how everything is so clean (even in spring). People in Belarus are not rich, but they have self-respect.
They don’t package everything in plastic or give plastic bags away in shops. People bring their own bags. In the west there’s too much litter because of too much packaging/wrap and plastic shopping bags
This guy really show us how the poorest live without much complaining. I am sure they do but they carry on inspite of. I like Belarus a lot, also Ukraine country side.

Even when 'correspondent' Bald is sick, in the cold, rain and wind, he still 'soldiers on' with his charisma, charm and a nice, warm smile: an absolutely epic legend!
Man, you really go deep into thoroughly exploring a country that most around the world have little to no idea about. Belarus really looks like a time capsule to Soviet times in some parts. All while modern at the same time. Being so closely culturally related to the better known Ukraine and Russia. Keep up the good work!
Hey bald and bankrupt. I watch you pretty often and i would like to recommend you Slovakia. It is country that is rarely mentioned in the world and there is a lot of castles. I recomend Eastern part of it because every tourist just go to Bratislava and they think they have seen true Slovakia. There is a lot of gems, like thermal pools, a lot lot of castles and beautiful nature.

One of the best channels on UA-cam, I've been addicted to your videos the past two days. Taking us into the depths of the world that no-one ever gets to see.
I cannot help but admire how daring you are. Most people plan months in advance before visiting a new place. I enjoy your videos.Thank you for taking us on a ride along with yourself.
You really change my mood man. I wish I can do the same. Keep uploading! Thank You. Note: please don’t call us “the” Ukraine 🇺🇦 we are an independent country now
Wonderful adventures Mr. Bald. You take us to places and show them as though we were there with you, your traveling companions. Thank you kind sir. Warm regards and safe travels Albus
We are really enjoying bald and bankrupt, this is amazing to see, he always ventures into the most remote places, giving us the opportunity to enjoy just as we are on tour. He is fantastic in his language and speaks fluently specially the Russian which is indispensable tool when in Russia. A big applause to Mr.Bald and Bankrupt. Jacolyn.
Your videos are the most interesting on UA-cam - because nobody does a raw, incisive, natural video of on foot adventures in places nobody really want to venture in. Keep up the good work. Brilliant. :)
No. No one in England owns an umbrella. They've consumed so much garbage American TV over the courses of their lives, they're convinced they live in Los Angeles. Every morning they wake up. and are sorely disappointed. It's like 'Groundhog Day'. LOL.

women have little collapsible umbrellas in their handbags. Men wouldn't be seen dead with an umbrella - not manly. Anyway, it rains quite frequently but rarely hard rain. Dallas gets 37 inches of rainfall per year, New York 50 inches, London 23 inches.
My good friend traveled all over the planet, including Bhutan, Ecuador, not to mention USA and all of the Europe. He said that Belarus was the most surprising and best experience for him. Excellent food, people, safety and cleanliness.
There's something about these rarely visited rural places you show us that is so intriguing & fascinating. Would be awesome to explore one of these villages at some point with you Mr Bald. Keep it up!
My father comes from Belarus and we used to visit our relatives there every year. Since Corona and the fact that my passport would have to be renewed if I went there again, I‘ll probably won’t go their for a long time. It‘s nice to see that someone actually is interested in this country. By my experience it is actually as grey and dilapidated as shown, which isn’t supposedly bad, just sad. My grandma is the typical Babuschka. She lives by her own in an old colourful wood house, in a small village with not even 50 residents. The living standards are very low but you can "survive" as a German, who is used to a comfortable and easy way of living. I wish this country for the future all the best and that it has the strength to escape the old system. I truly enjoyed the video. Greetings from Dresden :)

Belarus is a little known country as far as common people are concerned. On watching your video I was surprised to learn that Belarus is really beautiful and clean too. No doubt it's Alina's native country and hence everything has to be beautiful like her. Thanks for the video.

Blue is a very traditional color of the Eastern Orthodox church, most likely the reason for the widespread use there in Belarus
In earlier times, blue was a colour of nobility since it was quite rare and hard to create. The colour of kings and nobles.
Belarus, despite it being a relatively small country, is host to around 900 rivers and 11,000 lakes. We call ourselves a blue-eyed nation because of that. Not all of us are blue-eyed though
Hence the devotion to Our Lady of Perpetual Help as Mary is the Queen of Heaven and earth I’ve always heard it referred to as Blessed Mother Blue

@@roymarshall_ Google "Ioanno-Kormyanskiy Monastyr' " and you'll find it. Actually, this is a different Korma in Gomel region from the one I lived in. :) The church is really spectacular!
@@barfed64 thank you! Yeah i realized after a while that I was looking at the bigger Korma hahaha
@@roymarshall_ You got it! The other one is slightly larger :)
Just found your channel, and man I love your videos. You just go everywhere with an open mind and smile on your face.
Love it! Gomel my native city.
Getting home sick. Big hug fron OZ land. Good stuff Mate!
This guy's an absolute legend!!😁
when you opened the door to the church wow so beautiful
Im Irish worked for a Belarusian guy in Ireland nicest guy ever Bald. Love your vids man!!!
Seens the statue was of Ivan Shamyakin, who was an author, academic, soldier in the Red Army during the Second World War and later a Communist official. Apparently was a deputy at various points in both the Belarusian and Russian Soviets. Was born in Karma
Hey Benjamin! 1- You are absolutely addictive and I admire your courage 2- I love how you speak in Russian 3- you ARE a Korrespondent! What you do has great value and gives vissibility to forgotten people and places. And you make us travel everywhere! Thanks, a hug from Argentina.
This man is smiling 24/7. What a positive person, there should be more ppl like you ;)
WOW. Subscribed and started watching your vids. Absolutely love them. One of the most enjoyable, informative and educational channels on youtube (that's what I call a triple bonus). Thank you and keep it up.
Вы так чётко выговариваете все английские слова, что очень хорошо практиковаться в английском, слушая Вас. Спасибо!
Margarita Medvednikova Здравствуйте! Я учу русский язык и живу в США. В каком городе Вы живёте?

Even when 'correspondent' Bald is sick, in the cold, rain and wind, he still 'soldiers on' with his charisma, charm and a nice, warm smile: an absolutely epic legend!
the church is breathtaking !
being russian orthodox myself seeing these videos make feel so enthusiastic about traveling here
Love the Belarus villages and the scenic. Expecting to see more Russian beauties 😋
he left that one behide like a true man. continue with misson never stop for a pretty face.
Bald you are far ahead to any 'correspondent' .... thanks for allowing me and rest of the world traveling with YOU
Man, you really go deep into thoroughly exploring a country that most around the world have little to no idea about.
Belarus really looks like a time capsule to Soviet times in some parts. All while modern at the same time. Being so closely culturally related to the better known Ukraine and Russia.
Keep up the good work!
Hey bald and bankrupt. I watch you pretty often and i would like to recommend you Slovakia. It is country that is rarely mentioned in the world and there is a lot of castles. I recomend Eastern part of it because every tourist just go to Bratislava and they think they have seen true Slovakia. There is a lot of gems, like thermal pools, a lot lot of castles and beautiful nature.
Tatra is nice
Supreme Leader slovakia does not have a border with slovenia 🤦♂️
Go cheks rule😘↔↔🔁...
I went there a year ago
@@ranijhansijhansi4044 did you like it ?
I would love to thank you! I live in America and would love to travel but not going to happen so watching your videos is so awesome for me! THANK YOU FROM🇺🇸
Loving these long videos, brother. Thank you for sharing these journeys with us. There is a beauty in the hardness and old sadness in places like that. Daily Mail, lol, you've got high standards. Sat Sri Akaal!
Yes I know a lot of people find these vids depressing but I find the region beautiful too. Something melancholy that you either feel or you don't. Yeah the comment was tongue in cheek. Sat Sri Akaal mate.
these empty fields grow feed animal feed wheat bean corn for chichen pig cow I AM AFTER 50 YEAR KNOWING LITTLE HOW TO WATER WHEAT yet irrigation schemes of PUNJAB gughera branch and aswan dam knew centuries back ;;;;;;;;;;;;;; i watch elvis ,mexico acapulco and think of bald wadoo
Hii rob kaise ho
Hope you are enjoying your day
One of the best channels on UA-cam, I've been addicted to your videos the past two days. Taking us into the depths of the world that no-one ever gets to see.
I cannot help but admire how daring you are. Most people plan months in advance before visiting a new place. I enjoy your videos.Thank you for taking us on a ride along with yourself.
I will be saying"in Soviet times" with a English accent for a month
You really change my mood man. I wish I can do the same. Keep uploading! Thank You. Note: please don’t call us “the” Ukraine 🇺🇦 we are an independent country now
Ukraine is small Russia
kokan mokan nope 👎 not quite
Babushka "Move over, I'm gettin in with you."
Bald: "What!?"
No, he wants that! 😉
Hes pretending, we all know he runs babushkas regularly
He pretends to be coy, but he knows how to stay warm. Sometimes a traveling lad has to do what he has to do.
@Liver Success yeah so did I hahaha
Wonderful adventures Mr. Bald. You take us to places and show them as though we were there with you, your traveling companions. Thank you kind sir. Warm regards and safe travels Albus
Amazing that you got out of cities to visit rural villages. Thanks!
🙏 Namaste Bald! Very nice and informative video.. Waiting for part 2... Take care and I bid you peace!🍃😊🍃
U comment on every bald's video
Namaste emma ji
Jai bhole ki.
why you such attention seeker? eh ??
Emma Jones bla bla bla
We are really enjoying bald and bankrupt, this is amazing to see, he always ventures into the most remote places, giving us the opportunity to enjoy just as we are on tour.
He is fantastic in his language and speaks fluently specially the Russian which is indispensable tool when in Russia.
A big applause to Mr.Bald and Bankrupt. Jacolyn.
This is such a beautiful video and place, even though its gloomy I can smell the rain. Thanks for this.
you will have 1 million subscribers very soon
certified correspondent ;)
No doubt. And his own travel show on TV. This guy has something special.
He got more than 1 million subs so far
@@awskalynch2797 yeah they posted that year ago..
One year later. 1.76 million subs.
@@kevinheintz4046 no please no TV! Television will ruin this beautiful simplistic format.
Your videos are the most interesting on UA-cam - because nobody does a raw, incisive, natural video of on foot adventures in places nobody really want to venture in. Keep up the good work. Brilliant. :)
The inside of that church was breath taking, would love to just sit there for an hour and enjoy the peace.
Wow! A Brit' complaining about gray skies and rain....no Brolly??? I thought you guys were issued one at birth?
No. No one in England owns an umbrella. They've consumed so much garbage American TV over the courses of their lives, they're convinced they live in Los Angeles. Every morning they wake up. and are sorely disappointed. It's like 'Groundhog Day'. LOL.
@@redhedkev1 There is something called a hood though, but that's not seen as always being manly pmsl, mind you yes do have umbrella's certainly arent issued with them at birth, unless you get called the label posh twat lol its unlikely someone will have an umbrella ;)
Having to put up with rain sometimes doesn't mean we can't complain about it. Most people just wear coats when it does rain.
women have little collapsible umbrellas in their handbags. Men wouldn't be seen dead with an umbrella - not manly. Anyway, it rains quite frequently but rarely hard rain. Dallas gets 37 inches of rainfall per year, New York 50 inches, London 23 inches.
@@xwsftassell what on earth are you blabbering on about
Mr. Bald, the demented fantasy monologue with the Belarussian babushka that started about 23:20 had me helpless with laughter. Brilliant!
The Serbian Kalashnikov song at the end...priceless!
My good friend traveled all over the planet, including Bhutan, Ecuador, not to mention USA and all of the Europe. He said that Belarus was the most surprising and best experience for him. Excellent food, people, safety and cleanliness.
I watch many You Tubers and this is the only channel I have notifications turned on for. Keep up the great work 👍
You are a nice human being. I like the way you interact with people. It's been fun to watch your adventures in Belarus. Good luck, bratan :)
Those are the places we want to see and not over hyped tourist attractions
Yeah just eat good food and eplore all day like this with your friends
I guess you speak for most of us in here.
12:11 The interior of that church was simply divine.
Looks just like my moms church and we live in upstate NY now
There's something about these rarely visited rural places you show us that is so intriguing & fascinating. Would be awesome to explore one of these villages at some point with you Mr Bald. Keep it up!
‘Correspondent from the Kingfeemer times’ 😂 you legend haha. Had to pause the video for a good laugh
I think you’re the most cheerful person on UA-cam.
My father comes from Belarus and we used to visit our relatives there every year. Since Corona and the fact that my passport would have to be renewed if I went there again, I‘ll probably won’t go their for a long time. It‘s nice to see that someone actually is interested in this country. By my experience it is actually as grey and dilapidated as shown, which isn’t supposedly bad, just sad. My grandma is the typical Babuschka. She lives by her own in an old colourful wood house, in a small village with not even 50 residents. The living standards are very low but you can "survive" as a German, who is used to a comfortable and easy way of living. I wish this country for the future all the best and that it has the strength to escape the old system.
I truly enjoyed the video. Greetings from Dresden :)
Hi I absolutely love your videos. You have awoken the travel bug in me. Safe journey from Natalie in Ireland🇮🇪 xx
*His mood management is super advanced.*
God Bless Belarus. One love from Ethiopian orthodox. 💚💛❤
@Boldee..Thanks for the videos you have been posting
Мне нравится этот мужик. Заряд позитива мама не горюй! Удачи тебе во всём! И да, молодец что показываешь Беларусь такой какая она есть, точнее до чего её довели, а не скажем только Минск.
Да ляядна, довели! Посмотрите его ролики об украине, вам еще есть куда стремиться😜
В смысле довели? Разве ваш лидер не следит хорошо за страной?
I drove my camper from England thru Germany and Poland then across Belarus to Gomel...slept in my camper in the villages great fun then drove down into Ukraine and Moldova...on and on....
Must have been a great adventure. I'd like to do the same thing and carry on across Russia
@Lookup2Wakeup yes same with me the weather beet me so I put my cover in storage in November and next month I will get it out and continue thru Russia to Georgia etc try to get to Thailand....Pakistan is the problem...I did it in 1969 very easy in those days.
@@baldandbankrupt you would have a great time travelling in a camper going thru Belarus Russia kazikstan gorgia Iran etc...in 1969 I went from UK to Australia overland took 2 years...love to do it again but Pakistan is the problem....ready in 1969...love watching your trips ...I'm in Australia now to keep warm I left my camper in storage last November it got too cold in Belarus and now I get up to date info on Belarus from you and I see it's still to cold yet...maybe wait till may...for sunshine...I love the 50c a litre for diesel for my camper in Belarus.
Hated history at school but boy you make it entertaining thanks pal keep em coming.
@@JWB86 I hated school
Man you have BALLS of STEEL, This vlog should be called "Foreigner going into haunted Belarus Town" even the name sounds haunted Karma, by the way you would definitely make a great international correspondent for a global news agency!
Belarusian small towns are not haunted, it's very safe and people are very tolerant, you just don't know us and feel fear seeing another culture
@@sirsharonan7033 It all looks a lot more pleasant and safer than most English towns.
I love you channel I just discovered maybe a 1 week ago and I almost watched all your videos 💪💪💪
That church was mesmerising and beautiful.
I'm actually from a little "shithole village" called Gorodilovo and we have two of those :D I'm not even the religious kind of guy but sometimes I miss those churches (living in germany for about 20 years)
Belarus is a little known country as far as common people are concerned. On watching your video I was surprised to learn that Belarus is really beautiful and clean too. No doubt it's Alina's native country and hence everything has to be beautiful like her.
Thanks for the video.
"I suppose when you've been let down so much by gov and
by the harshness of life, that you put hope in something else
you put your faith in God may it's some kind of way to ensure that the
next life isn't as harsh as this life." 12:37
He explained it so well
Nice words😄 and btw great videos💪
Ah back when you were allowed to have a common cold, good times.
Lol thats funny but sad
I absolutely cried with laughter when you were talking about the old woman getting in bed with you. I haven't laughed like that in ages. You're nuts! Love it. Subscribed!
Was looking for anyone who commented on the old lady story. I laughed so hard. He's nuts
Well you will hit 300K. So congratulations 🎉🍾🎊🎈
so fast, congrats mr bald!

@@BooBoo-pu1jh Nice you can read too. :))
His videos are very simple but yet addicting it's very interesting to see other parts of the world he does a very good job narrating
Great to see the adventure of a foreigner in my country. I was born in Belarus and lived there a big part of my childhood ( In Slutsk, a little city 100km south from Minsk ).
