Slava, you and your lovely lady are truly citizens of the world. As a fellow traveller, I always try to stress to people that haven’t had the privilege to travel-that we all have more in common than we do opposite. You are both wonderful and kind people and explorers. Maybe someday I can host you in Canada.
It's a dream of mine to travel due to a work ending illness I cannot afford to travel but it's so wonderful that intrepid vloggers such as Slava and numerous others take the time to share their own experiences so folks like myself can and enjoy it vicariously
I'm very pleased and happy for these wonderful times for you! I hope for a lifetime of fond memories. I hope too these will encourage openness and curiosity between Russia and USA.
Superb video! You always describe the places you are visiting in such great detail. Great narration. Mark and his family are wonderful, God bless them. Of all the wonderful places you have traveled to, great places that I’ve never seen before, what impress’s me that most is the friendship’s you have with the people of America. Lana looks like she was was having a blast!
We are part of one of those 1960's simple houses on a bay in Alabama. It has thankfully survived many hurricanes except for the boat dock. Earlier this year the family got together with hammers, nails, and a pump to sink pilings and rebuilt the boat dock one more time. Maybe it will last a little while.
Two months in the US gives you a multitude of different cultures the happiness on your face was genuine the efficacy of your freinds invite was refreshing to see in these troubling times I'm seriously Thinking of leaving the US its hard to be upbeat!! That's why your videos are so well recieved
Thanks Slava !! John Lennon said we all as humans crave things foreign, (paraphrasing) having said that your American vlogs give us americans a great juxtaposed look at our own land through a foreigners eyes so another thank you is due! Also sorry for my verbose comments
Just was browsing during COVID time from India. Came across your channel immediately subscribed . Me and my family loved your Videos about Russia and USA . Thanks for wonderful Vlogs .KEEP GOING STRONG BIG BRO !!!!
I watch your channel and Baklykov's to get a more true and better perspective of Russia and it's people and I'm very happy you are giving your viewers the same for the U.S.
Hi guys, I am from USSR multinational, born in Kiyv what's now Ukraine. I had oppt to live in Florida when I was a kid, I stayed at Monte Verde academy and ofcourse couple times we traveled tourist visa....so I can recall what it's like, just cozy cookie and duce. Clinique happy tbones ... Beaches in this video reminded me of cape Cod in Massachusetts..... was also a fascinated getaway via a nice family by culture in exchange. Try that and ask a German or Russian friend to move to a place for a while...!? Your kids can mesmorise thus coping skills lessons learned...etc
Hey Slava, I have been to Florida several times but not so far up north. And I have been spending 1 vacation in Georgia. So your videos remind me of the look and feel of what I saw and enjoyed. :-) But wow.. you meet so many interesting people! That sure does make it a local experience!
You all looks very happy, The hospitality of the family mixed with the environment, that's must felt like heaven, what else could better than this , the goal of life is happiness afterall
I used to travel here almost every year with my family to go scalloping in the Bay. Haven't done it in almost a decade though. Beautiful place with a lot of memories.
Thanks, Slava. Well done as usual. I live in the SE Corner of Alabama and have visited this area, but not since Hurricane Michael. I was surprised at how much the area has recovered.
excellent content, as usual. You really give a good broad vision of the area, its surroundings and some of the people and culture. Love that you did a bit on volunteer fire department. They are everywhere in small town USA.
Home is where the heart calls, Slava your home is Rural Russia and Rural USA, I see so much heart in the last two minutes of montage. I hope you one day build your dream house on that stretch of white sand
This is impressive. I am from South Florida myself, and have been to South Georgia and North Florida many times, but few from outside the country stop to see these areas. It says a lot that you're going to the places outside of most tourists' knowledge.
My husband, dog and I visited for a week in 2018. We rented a condo. The cape reminded us of a beachfront version of our home here in AL. Very quite and rural. We are loving your videos!
This is where I vacation. It is spectacular, but don't tell anybody. Most of the regular visitors and the locals want it to remain forgotten. Thanks for this great video.
Florida is beautiful and most of it is still rural towns. Large city’s like Tampa and Jacksonville have grown so much over the last 20 or 30 years if you had left and came back you would not recognize them.
Hi Mark, cool house, you mentioned your wife was making apple crisp and BINGO, that's what I going to "pig out" on this year with our bumper crop of apples...thanks for the tip.
Sounds like a great idea. It is one of the only ways that I really like vanilla ice cream, and the oatmeal is a good source of fiber. Otherwise, I am all about flavors. 😊 Sometimes, I just dribble half and half on it. Eaten with a good cup of strong coffee, it is great and the apples and oatmeal inside allow me to convince myself that I am eating something healthy!🤣
Our house is the green one with all the columns and decks just beside the one in the water near end of this video. We love Cape San Blas and March to End of April is such a beautiful less hot time of year. One correction is that some cape beach front houses cost over 2.5 million dollars.
Basically a beach Dacha. It's a good system. Others may rent it and avoid the never-ending work in progress that a Dacha involves. And, the kulaks get a little return on investment for their troubles.
Cool video. I live in north Florida more towards the middle of the state. We go out there for our vacations. Lots of wildlife. Great for birding. Welcome to Florida.
Glad to see you made it to the Florida panhandle and the Emerald Coast. Hope you and Lana had a chance to drive the strip at PCB and then Destin before you went to Texas. 👍
Great video! You're at a place where I've been going in the winter months for many years. If you're still in the area, stop by Gant's BBQ. It's a little trailer on the western edge of Port St Joe, just before the bridge to Mexico Beach. The BEST BBQ, which is very popular in the Southern states. Cheers!
Amazing place. Thanks for great video. I was planning to go Florida in November this year, but finally I decided to go to NYC. Greetings from Warsaw, Poland.
I'b be willing to bet that the pressure treated 2X4 burning in the beach bonfire would contribute a unique flavor to those marshmallows. Slava Ukraini.
Small world! I actually flew from Russia to stay in Indian Pass for a bachelor party. We even climbed up that beached boat after probably too many adult beverages. That's one of my favorite places anywhere. Did you have a chance to visit Indian Pass Raw Bar? Write me next time you're in Anapa!
@@RussianPlus Can't wait to see. I am planning on going to Russia for the first time next summer since I was adopted from far east in 1996. But I am unsure how to arrange accommodations or what are my best options for traveling around Russia. I really don't have the best idea yet what my trip will look like. Any advice or ideas of where to start looking online? I want to avoid hostels, as I will be traveling alone.
Which cities did you want to visit? If you stop by Yekaterinburg then we can show you around. There are affordable hotel options in most cities. In Moscow you're looking at $40 $50 a night for a decent hotel. I normally use booking. com and choose something with a rating no less than 8
@@RussianPlus I think I want to start on the east side (Komsomolsk is where I'm from) see Vladivostok maybe, and then work my way West ending in Piter. I'm not sure about the in between. Baikal is on the list. Yekaterinburg would be amazing. Pskov, Moscow and a few of the golden ring towns would be nice as well. I'm not sure my Russian speaking will be as strong as I'd like come next summer..should I be worried about not being able to converse east of the Urals?
Nice part of Florida, and a great host family. I've often wondered what insurance costs for such coastal residences, and is "Hurricane Insurance" available?
Insurance costs can be very expensive. The main thing affecting rates is which flood zone the house sits in. The Army Corps od Engineers issues flood zone maps every few decades with many different zones, each reflecting a certain level of risk. That dramatically affects rates. Thankfully, our house is in a part of our lot that is in the “x” zone, which means we are basically nearly zero flood risk. Salt water backed up from the Bay and soaked the roots of most our pine trees during the hurricane, though, and killed them, exactly where the flood zone maps said it would. Here is a link to what those kind of flood risk maps look like: hazards-fema.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=8b0adb51996444d4879338b5529aa9cd
Are there some areas in America not touched by the crime wave? I'm sorry, I read foxnews and they have a crime section. Dailymail has a crime section too and a lot of comments are from Americans complaining about crime lately. What do you think?
