THE JOURNEY OF A LIFETIME | Leaving Russia Arriving In Ukraine

x

Solo Along The Ukrainian-Russian Border ( One Day Before Invasion )

????????Who could have predicted the horrors which were about to befall on Ukraine. I went there like so many others thinking an agreement would be reached at the last moment. Alas...

The Journey Is Over ????????

This journey that started for me aged 17 in Anna’s Russian class has now come to an end. I have been officially banned from Russia for a period of three years. What great memories were created. From the villages of the Komi republic to the mountains of Dagestan, to the Siberian forests and Baikal, we have experienced so many adventures. I'll always remember the amazing Russian people I met with great fondness but it's time to to bring the curtain down.

Glory to the USSR!

The Reality of Life in Russia 2023 (bureaucratic nightmare)

This is our life in Russia in late 2022 / 2023. Traveling to Russia as a westerner has always been difficult, a bureaucratic nightmare, but this year is the first time Matt and I have really had any issues. We arrived in my hometown of Kemerovo, Siberia, after crossing in to Russia at Kaliningrad and flying to Novosibirsk. Once here and staying with my family, we went to register with the local authorities, but everything turned out to be a little complicated to say the least. This is a week in our lives here staying in Siberia as we hang out with my family and prepare for New years eve (the biggest celebration of the year in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and many other former Soviet countries). Welcome to a very cold, wintery Siberia.

Leaving Kyiv On A Refugee Train ????????

???????? With reports that the city of Kyiv was soon to be closed off I decided the best thing to do was to join the crowds and leave for the border before being stuck. Whilst it was a sad to see the people leaving their homes behind and taking their kids and pets with them towards an uncertain future it also showed the best of the people. Spirits were high, nobody panicked, people shared food and drinks with each other. It was humbling to be a part of it.

Having spent 3 weeks in Belarus, I continued my journey to the Far East region. A spark of curiosity has led me to travel to these less visited regions. I was interested in gently peeling away the layers of Belarus and connecting more deeply with the people. By taking the time to observe, it allows me to understand the culture more and have a greater appreciation of the different human stories I hear on the road.

On today’s journey, I took a small van from Vitebsk, south through the countryside to Mogilev before continuing Southeast to my next destination, Gomel. I walked around the city, visited another Lenin monument and stumbled upon a traditional market. I then headed out to a smaller town that was greatly affected by the Chernobyl disaster and got to experience a traditional weaving method before being helped by a bunch of teenagers while trying to return home.

ABOUT ME:
Hello there, welcome to this channel!
I am an Indonesian female solo traveler, who started solo traveling in 2013. After working for the government till 2016, I left Indonesia to pursue full-time traveling and to document myself as I explore different cultures as a solo female.

Having initially traveled for 5 months throughout Asia, I moved to China in January 2017 for an English teaching job, which was my first experience living abroad.

Since leaving China in 2018, I have taken the move to become a full-time YouTube creator and traveler. I strive to create unique, culture-driven content and capture authentic interactions as I travel.

Baden-Baden: Germany’s Most Russian City | How it has Changed Since the War in Ukraine

Baden-Baden is known as Germany's Russian city. From as far back as Czarist times, the spa has been popular with Russian tourists. Even writers such as Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, and Turgenev once visited the spa town in the Black Forrest. But tourists have stayed away since Russia's invasion of Ukraine. But what has changed due to the war? How are Russian and Ukrainian residents dealing with the current situation? DW reporter Lukas Stege was on location and has built up a picture.

HOW I ESCAPED WAR IN UKRAINE ????????

As the situation in the capital city of Kyiv was getting more and more dangerous, we made the tough decision to leave and try and make it west. Our original plan was to go to Lviv to join our friends, but during the trip, we got word that even there was being attacked by air raids. But first, we'd have to make it on the train. Here's the journey with myself and @baldandbankrupt as we attempt to cross from Eastern Ukraine, to the West by train.

We left Russia. (Long journey!)

We left Russia. We said an emotional goodbye to my family, left Siberia and traveled for two days, first to Saint Petersburg, where the plan was to catch a bus and leave Russia through the Russian / Estonian border at Narva and continue through Estonia, onwards to Tallinn. The land border crossing was a long, stressful and intense process. This journey turned out to be one of the most emotional and physically draining we've ever had. This will be a day we will never forget for so many reasons.

Ukraine's Frustratingly Long City: Kryvyi Rih ????????

???????? Doing the simplest of tasks like popping to the shop for a loaf of bread is no simple thing in Kryvyi Rih. That's because it's seemingly the longest city in the bloody world and going anywhere takes a bloody eternity and ends in sweaty frustration. However I was on a mission to seek out its Soviet past so I stopped complaining and set off on an adventure in search of an old dude with a Lada. Join me as we go back in time to good old Kryvyi Rig, Ukraine's most frustrating city.

THE COMPLETION OF A JOURNEY OF A LIFETIME

3 months doing the Trans Siberian Express... To say this was the most epic trip of my life so far WOULD BE AN UNDERSTATEMENT. To return back to Russia and see where a large part of my heritage is from, to see the cities they lived in and to allow myself to get in touch with the part of myself I haven't had the chance to discover, was absolutely incredible. Thank you to everyone who has supported me on this journey so far. I hope you enjoy this video and are ready for all the amazing adventures ahead xx
