  • Traveling across Russia in the winter, from Kaliningrad to Siberia (Novosibirsk & Kemerovo), answering your questions! Well, that isn't the only reason, we also flew to Siberia to see our family. Julia's Gran, brother and sister are living here in Siberia, in Julia's home city of Kemerovo, the coal mining capital of Russia. Whilst on this epic travel day, including flying 5 hours from Kaliningrad to Novosibirsk & traveling 5 hours overland to Kemerovo, we aim to answer all the questions we get asked about ourselves most often.
    Any questions that didn't get answered in this Q & A video, please feel free to put in the comments 🙂

      Did you try to get to Siberia from Transnistria and couldn't?.
      After you said your flight was from the coast to Siberia, I just hoped you weren't going anywhere near the Polish border or Belorussian border. Not saying anything else.
      Siberia is very much like Saskatchewan, Manitoba in Canada, relatively flat and often -40 °C with winds. It's not always that cold, but it is a "dry" cold.
      Calgary, Alberta is a high altitude city, so it gets winds like the Foen winds, -10 AM + 10 afternoon.

    I only discovered your channel a week ago, but what a breath of fresh air you are! It's wonderful to see two people clearly in love enjoying their travels with such an open approach to meeting new people. You come across as very generous of spirit and your sense of humour (individually and as a couple) is a hugely positive feature of your videos. It's so nice to watch a channel which doesn't manufacture drama (I'm approaching sixty, and don't need any drama any longer) and within which you're open and honest about life's experiences. Congratulations on a great channel!

      Agree! Watching Matt & Julia's videos are a great respite from all the 'crap' going on daily that is impossible to control. Julia explained it, and I'm sure Matt agrees, that there is nothing one can do about what is going to happen, so why struggle against it. Wish I had more time to watch all the videos they make.

    You both made my day today! You reminded me that joy is found in your midst and you can find it at a cozy kitchen table as much as in traveling the world. It just takes a relish for life and believing that having an open frame of mind makes wherever you are the best place to be at the time. I say this having started out in cold Detroit, Michigan and moved to even colder Montreal, Canada for medical school in my late 30's and while in medical training I was so fortunate to visit St. Petersburg and Tsarskoe Selo and traveled as much as I could to Europe and Asia, and now at age 66 I live in Tucson, Arizona. What I can say about this is I wake up nearly every day with zest for what is before me and ready to enjoy the uniqueness of every place I find myself in. And listening to the two of you talk of your own delight in where travel takes you and how your viewers can feel like your friends - I understand that so well and just love your outlook and the sense of satisfaction I receive from listening to you. Thank you for sharing your lives, I am absorbing the waves of good will you project! Thinking back to my (brief) time in Russia, I now am longing for borscht and smetana and for the amazing assortment of mushrooms of all kinds, but am really nourished by the fellow feeling I am finding on your channel. Thank you!

    Julia, I agree with what you said around 16:00 - people watch UA-cam to watch fun or inspiring things, not people complaining. But I admire what you said about recognizing that you're a more negative person by nature, and that part of maturing was realizing that you could control that and try to change how you see things. I wish more people were as mature as you are! By the way, those of us who follow along on your journey don't expect you to always be chipper. We want you to feel free to be yourselves and show us how it really is to travel full-time, it's hard. I'm not afraid that you two will wallow in self-pity!😍 P.S., I do try very hard never to skip any of the ads on your channel, because I know that will help keep you on the road!

There are a lot of things happening in our world, experentially different depending on where you are. I believe though that the world is actually getting smaller and it is the peoples of the world and not the elite that will need to be aware and understand others humanity. I feel you are contributing to this awareness and for that I thank you. Please keep abreast of what may be happening with carbon tax and the potential of limiting travel etc. You are both obviously very bright and resouceful. You do not need to share where it is you might want to settle. There are so many factors to consider. Please give it thought. Intutitevly i feel you will have a child planned or not and so that reality should be factored in. A take care to two beautiful people.

It’s such a deeply personal thing to ask someone and I would urge people to think carefully before you do!

    Hi Matt and Julia 👋. Thanks for this interesting and enjoyable Q&A video. I am a loyal fan mainly because of your personalities and your basic kindness to others, no matter what their culture or nationality is. I appreciate how much time and effort that you put into producing this channel. Your honesty, maturity, friendly and non judgemental manner in dealing with others in foreign countries always keeps me "looking forward and coming back" to your channel. I traveled extensively in my youth and it is something that I will never regret even though it did involve some sacrifices. One thing that I learned is that it is amazing and uplifting to realize how much people have in common world wide than any insignificant differences. Watching your travels brings back so many wonderful memories to me and I thank you for that. Wishing both of you and your families and loved ones a very Happy, Healthy and Peaceful New Year in 2023. 🫂❤️🎆🥂🙏🌎🕊

I would really love to see a little Matt or Julia, or even a Matt AND Julia traveling with Mom and Dad. 😅😂🤣Wearing their little back packs and pulling their little roller cases! Sure fire way to get thru customs and border crossing quickly! LITTLE ONES CAN MELT THE FROSTIEST HEARTS! (Sorry, just thinking out loud) Keep safe and warm (cozy for Julia) ! Whatever was in your goody bag, glad you made it thru security with it!!!!

OH, SOME OF US DO HAVE CHANNELS WITH VIDS IF YA EVER GET A BIT CURIOUS WHO WE ARE... SMILES.

    Lovely knowing how the both of you together decided to take up travelling. It's honestly inspiring to see since it's something many people of our generation would love to do, yet fear leaving the comfort of our homes / security of our jobs for.
    Hope to perhaps bump into you someday. Much love from India.
    P.S: Love the watch Matt! Good to see someone else rocking the old Casio (F-91w ?), especially on their right hand!

    I'm loving your video's. I stumbled on them about a week ago. I love your travels, adventures. I get to see so much through your eyes and how you both handle the stress and struggles and more so the excitement of your travels. I use a wheelchair so traveling like you both do is not possible. So thank you for being amazing and letting me experience the countries and locations and cultures that you both are experiencing.

I want to wish you a Bonne Année for a very successful 2023 🥂🍾 Jos AZ USA

    In the Canadian prairies, the cold is genrerally a dry cold. On the pacific coast of British Columbia, the cold is a damp cold and, although it's not as cold as the prairies temperature wise, it is more penetrating.

    I wish most ppl have this kind of relationships. It is more than love and affection.

    i Just subscribed to your channel. It's very nice to meet you both. Thank you for sharing your lives and thought while you travel around. My husband and I have decided to learn this year to do the same and do some traveling around and give our perspective and personalities to the world about our own native land. We are both from Florida, USA and we still live here.
    I particularly enjoy the snow in your films and you have some beautiful shots of real life, family life in Russia. This video was very lovely, for I was able to capture your perspective on the traveling life and seeking balance between homestead and travel and all the little things that come up in the mind about how to balance these two. Thank you again.

    I agree with you Julia: my favorite feeling is also being "cozy"! I live in a town at the edge of a desert, so it's 40C or more 4+ months per year, but for a couple of months it goes down to 5C. I love it being "cold" and bundling up under a warm blanket! When I'm lucky enough to be in snow, it's even better (as long as I have the right clothes). I love the seasons, I don't like the weather to always be the same (especially when it's hot).

    Hi, I just discovered your channel. It is great. Your videos in Russia reminds me a lot of Poland, where I used to go very often. You should consider writing travel books, not right now, but maybe in the future? So start making still photos if you don’t already do.

    Curses! I missed my chance to ask a question. For future Q&As I’ll ask it now. If it hasn’t been already answered. What is the biggest changes or differences in your personalities or mindset that you’ve noticed since starting this journey? Are you different from when you first started and where you are today? Thanks for posting your videos. Happy new year!
