    Here on my channel I share my journey, topics for adoptees, my vlogs, and support for others adopted, including their stories and journeys with my An Adoption Story series.
    As a Russian-New Zealand adoptee, adopted at the age of two from an orphanage in Arkhangelsk, Russia, I share what I've been learning on my journey with my upbringing here in New Zealand, my current life, and how I connected with my birth family. I also share what my bloodline means for me with those connections from Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan.

    Such a cool and interesting video, Alex! I never knew Russians were into the log cabin-look until I started watching Sasha and Masha’s videos on the I_am_puma & I_am_cheetah YT channels since their house it that way. It makes sense though seeing as how you showed us that the landscape has a lot of lodgepole pines. Please give my thanks to Vera, too for showing all of us those places as well. Yuri G’s memorial 🧑🏻‍🚀💐 was something that a lot of us travelers may not get to and I’m glad that you guys didn’t get gobbled up by the famished bears coming out of hibernation. They’re doing that here in Colorado, too! 👱🏻‍♀️👱🏻‍♂️🍽🚫🐻 Looking forward to your next adventure! xoxo Christine in Spring-like Colorado, USA 🌸
