We have done a lot of train travel around the world, and this first class overnight train from Kyiv to Lviv, Ukraine surprised us in a few different ways. We give a tour of our private room, show the bathroom, do a little bit of delirious giggling, sleep for 5 hours, and arrive in Lviv by 6 a.m.!

Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the travel bug! We started “travel hacking” & finally decided we wanted to travel for one year. After 2 years of saving $ and over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016. We started this TH-cam channel to share our experiences with friends and family, then decided we really liked vlogging and traveling! So we extended our 1 year trip to now FOUR years :) Now we have a goal of traveling to 100 countries before 2020! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)
Guys! Many of those old Soveit trains have storage under the seat. You would have to lift the seats up. Just a tip for next time! 😘
Timezone Junkies lmao i was screaming at the screen "nOOOO, lift the bed, babes, lift the beeeed" poor things had to bump their feet on their luggage all night
well not many. ALL. I guess so haha
@@CucumberpatchAddict Me, too! Of course, it's hard for somebody to break in to your room and steal your luggage if you are sleeping on top of it. Of course, our Amtrak hasn't come up with that idea yet...
minmilwaukee im always paranoid about luggage on trains so it's the only thing that helps me relax - the certainty that someone would have to physically lift me up off the bed to get to my stuff xD
@@CucumberpatchAddict Me, too. My brother almost had his bag stolen once in an open train in Hungary. I think the Russian trains are more safe as your bags are much more secure and out of the way for the occasional opportunistic thief.
How sad that such a beautiful country now is in so much danger breaks my heart so bad :(
Ikr Putin is just a immature man child at this point
:( ik
Same
Shit country
Fuck Ukraine Hail lord Putin 🔥
I want someone's eyes to light up when they see me the way Kara's eyes light up when she sees coffee. 🤣
So sad to watch this with a war currently going on there . Looks like such a beautiful country
Re-watching this with a new perspective. Glory to the brave people of Ukraine
Shit
slava ukraine 💪🇺🇦
Quick advice:
1) Ask for another sheet if yours dirty, wet, or package is not safe. It's free)
2) AC start to work when train moves, and you can check if you train have AC, when you buying tickets on the website.
3) Put your stuff under the bed, there's a empty space.
4) WC button (red/green) shows if WC is open or someone's there.
@@ianmay8065, well by your logit you need to eliminate too many countries...I suggest to start from Russia :D
было бы кому это рассказывать. Это ж муриканцы! Они даже нишу для багажа не увидели
@@Chervick так в неё всё равно чемодан не входит (по крайней мере не любой). Я обычно ложу на боковую полку сверху.
@John Volken c'mon! I know! and everybody else knows.. It's just a natural protection reaction)) We are trying to develop! And you don't know how it's hard, cuz you don't have a mad rat as a neighbour
Am I the only one who is smelling some arrogance in his advice?
I was born in Ukraine but moved to the US when I was really young. I visited Lviv in 2018, it was my favorite!! So glad to see y'all visited it before everything changed.. :'(
I was watching Bald and Bankrupt yesterday and it is so eerie to look at the Kyiv train station from travelers going to and from different European destinations in 2019 to refugees trying to get out of the city in 2022. Stay safe Ukraine and peace will come again.
I absolutely love Kara’s bubbly personality.
That train brings back memories of the Trans-Siberian Railway, only a little bit more cozy and a little less clean... Can't wait to see more from Lviv!
Rich and Kirsten I agree! I was watching a train review on the train from London to Paris, and I scrolled through the suggested videos and saw Kara and Nate’s video about the trans Siberian railway I was curious so I decided to watch. By the end of it I wanted more. So I watched their entire train journey and fell in love with their personalities. Obviously I had to binge watch from the beginning. I look up to their bravery, and out look on life. The videos were so raw in the beginning. Love the cute moments they share with us as well as the vulnerable moments.
I agree! My first introduction to Kara and Nate were those videos, so when I saw the thumbnail I got pretty nostalgic. That was almost 2 years ago and I have grown so much thanks to them! I've learned a lot and have seen so many places I never thought I would. I now slay at Geography during quizzing. Honestly, the most wonderful find on YT ever. Thank you my loves. 😍😍
Lvov. Not Lviv
That is not a Soviet Passenger Carriges they are GDR (East Germany), Soviet Union imported them in a huge amounts of dozens of thousands. A place where these passenger carriages were produced still exists, but there is no production of these.
Visit not just Kyiv or Lviv. There are: Zhaporizhzhya, Dnepr, Poltava, Odessa, and Cremea was great place to visit too.
@@ZhekUA but Crimea is not ukrainian..
"On a scale of India to Switzerland" 😂😂😂
Switzerland ofc, India is worse.
I love the trains in India! Booked before arrival. Last trip 13 overnight trips without a hic-up. Clean beds and sheets, slept like a baby.
After that, flew to Frankfurt and took day train to Milan, thru Switzerland. Unbelievable views and food. 3-4 times the cost of India.
It's all relative, and both were great experiences!!
Indian train cheap but best
Government is spending millions on buying Bullet trians which will be very hard to implement at a large scale. What we need is semi high speed engines, double tracks and station renovation.
where would Amtrac be on that scale I am wondering? I would say closer to India :)
There are another class of trains in Ukraine: Intercity trains (5hours from Kiev to Lviv).
same is inside)) ua's hyperloop))
Просидеть 5 часов - то еще удовольствие. Хотя люди и автобусами сутки ездят. Каждому своё...
@@NeuroTechnic Провести 5 часов в поезде интерсити, намного удобнее, чем 3-4 часа в самолете.
@@victorg145 А проспать в своей домашней кровати 8 часов еще удобнее. К чему вы это? O_o
Туда куда 3-4 часа самолет летит - на "интерситях" не ездят :-)
А во Львов по мне 91 поезд отличный вариант. Зашел в купе, лег спать, проснулся и ты во Львове.
P.S. К тому же не все IC идут 5 часов, некоторые в районе 6, а 715й вообще почти 7. Да и быть к 6-7 утра на вокзале та еще радость. Нет ни одного нормального варианта в Интерсити чтобы приехать и потусить по Львову в тот же день. Или выезжаешь невыспавшийся и дремаешь там сидя, потеряв полдня на поезд и потом полдня как зомби. Или приезжаешь на день раньше что бы приехать чисто поспать. Так что смотря кому и для чего ехать.
@@NeuroTechnic ездят)
6 MORE COUNTRIES TO GO!!! 👍
Kara sometimes STINKY FEET is apart of full-time travel. We've learned that being full-time travelers as well. 🤣🤣
I would totally feel the same about showering in Chernobyl Kara,. I’m sure it would be OK, but for peace of mind, due to the radiation, I probably wouldn’t shower. Thank God you brought the foot de-funk cream aka Germinex! 😂😂 At least you guys don’t have to share a room with someone! Nate, you’re a trooper for taking all the stained towels and sheets.Thanks for taking us along y’all!
To avoid stinky feet, just wash them when you shower. Basic hygiene.
Adrian Lopez Right? I’d rather get radiation poisoning than go around *nasty*
Cant't wait to see more from Lviv. Ukraine has always been on my bucket list.
😍👏🏼

Train Kiev - Berdiansk Ukraine

When you're binge-watching kara and nate and a notification appears 😁
Seeing all your train travels reminds me of my college excursion in 2022, when I went to Europe and traveled from Berlin to Warsaw via train.The way you guys obviously bump and sway around in the train....That memory is so vivid to me. I love you guys for this type of thing.
Other than the fact that I am absolutely living vicariously through you two. Thank you for that!
This hit different now
Nate: its not that bad
Kara: it looks like poop
Kara: you get the poop blanket
Nate telling himself it’s clean just stained 😂😂😂😂😂😂
They look like bed bug stains 😳
mayela ruggles that is a possibility
It’s just rust stains from old rusty pipes or old tubs in the laundry plant. Looks unattractive but it’s in no way unclean or toxic. Once stained, the stains are hard to remove, and require special treatment.
YOU GUYS ARE LIVING THE LIFE!!!!! Enjoying your journey as I plan my next....... Thanks for the video and morning enjoyment. 7:00 AM here in SoCal. 👌🤘💪🤑
Travel More! Worry Less!
Good morning 💛 happy you liked it! 🤗
wealthy Pearl wtf
@@FlowerForYouBRUNO That's your opinion which you have the right to share. Honestly I couldn't disagree with you more and that's my opinion. From what I have seen these two are kind , generous people who have given us the opportunity to follow their journey. I have enjoyed being able to see places that I probably will never be able to see and I will continue to follow along on their path. You shouldn't be so hateful and shaming others. All that does is create more negativity in this world which is not necessary.
wealthy Pearl Why tf are you writing the same comment on every video?
Married with Wanderlust Oh shit I’m from SoCal too! Although I definitely did not wake up as early as you. 😅
Lviv is absolutely amazing! I loved my short trip there. I love the coffee culture there, I didn’t have one bad one there. Enjoy!
4:10 Not a door lock, a door alarm, to wake you up when someone opens the door!
Haha! "On a scale from India to Switzerland..." I feel like that's a very good train rating scale. I also recently took an overnight train from Moscow to St Petersburg, and I can relate to those tired faces SO MUCH.
I hope they’ll reach 1 million before they have reached their 100th country
ummm SAME😁
@@KaraandNate many hotels will give you an early check-in, especially if you are a member...airbnb is sketchy!
I don't think so
They have
2:10 Nate, you should lift up the seat .It is usually a space for luggage under .It looks bit like a chest . Try that way next time.pls
Oh, Lviv!! I love that city! You could say I lvove Lviv!
Love seeing you guys on this adventure!! It was so cool to see you guys on this train ride, and cool to know it was so simple to book. We loved seeing your Ukraine videos and thank you for taking us on this amazing adventure with you!! Your AirBnB looks really nice and a great price!!! Much love!
You are all so relaxed and laid back in this one! Way to go!
kara’s a big mood 😂 every bathroom tour the train is iconic!
I love the train tours and your facial reactions to what you find.
Next time you and Nate book a train trip, buy cheap sheets and towels that you can donate afterwards so you are sure they are clean.
Right? If I were to ever ride a train overnight, I’d definitely bring at least a shawl to cover the pillowcase.
No matter where you at, you always deliver a fantastic and entertaining video.
Great to hear Jack!
I’m so excited for them to hit 100 countries!! But also so sad because I love their videos and I don’t want them to end!
You two are doing great. You guys have great videos. Keep on inspiring the world! Let’s continue to inspire everyone with our Travel TH-cam channels!
I love your channel so much, it's amazing how much energy you have to explore the world. You guys are the best! it would be my dream to meet you!!
Your skills are just sky rocketing Kara and Nate. It’s the highlight of my day watching your vlogs ❤️
💙💙💙 you are the best
My husband and I decided to try Faredrop; we love it! Scored a great deal to San Jose del Cabo! Thanks Kara and Nate!
1. Guys you lift up your bed and that's where you put your bags
2. The AC only turns on when the train starts moving
3. You can open your own window when you want to
4. You can ask for another sheet
5. For the sink there's a push botton that you either have to push it with your foot or hand it depends on the train
Wow, this is incredible looking back on what is even now more a famous place and train and shown in photos so very much due to the Russia's/Putins horrendous war on Ukraine...
So heart broken as I think so myself if we would of known then what we know now when I see this entire series... wow. 💔
I love this Ukraine tour!!
Good to see both of you again.such an amazing experience that you are both doing.
I am so exited about the next video where you guys gonna explore Lviv!! The place where I was born. Very interesting 😍 Thank you for that! Love your videos!
Scenes from the train room (with its yellow color) give impression of old Soviet films 😅👌🏻
And I felt so relaxed and happy for you at the end.... When you finally reached a bed to have a nice rest 😌😊
Thanks for your videos. They make me smile and enjoy the views all around the world 😍
Love your videos.... I have a Ukrainian background but have never been there so I really enjoy watching your adventures in Ukraine!!!!
Hello guys. Welcome to Ukraine, I hope you'd like your time over here. But I am sorry and embarrassed that you had to face that conditions in the train. Unfortunately that's not our best.
Thanks for visiting my country ❣
hope you're safe right now! :)
That train ride bring so many memories. As a kid I used to travel from Minsk to Crimea when its still was a part of Ukrain on trains like this one. The second I saw the sink I was like "let's see if they'll figure it out" haha. There usually space for storage under the bad, like you have to lift the top of the bad up. Like a trunk of sorts. Great video guys as always!
FYI: Actually Crimea still is a part of Ukraine lol
Crimea is Ukraine. It's simply occupied by Russian colonizers currently.
You must like living on the edge, always just making your transportation.
Love your videos, I really enjoy watching your videos😍🌍
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, you two are awesome!! Safe travels!!
💗💗💗 thanks so much Erin!
Train episodes are my favorite, such a cool mode of travel especially in the 1st class private cabins. I def want to travel that way some day, so cozy and cool and ypu get scenery. I love being stuck in a small place if its not with strangers lol
The look of fear on Nate’s face at 1:07 when Kara mentioned not eating yet😂
Looking forward to see a video from Lviv 🇺🇦 I didn’t expect Ukraine is so beautiful country♥️
Come and see :) its much better than on videos)
Ukraine was an original crossroads for Europe and heads of state historically. It is an ancient country - 1500 year old cities.
Could you guys do a backpack/luggage organization video?? I'm so curious to see how you guys pack so minimally for all your traveling :) love your videos!!
On older trains is you lift up the lower berth, you'll find storage there. I love your train videos, and nothing beats an overnight train. Probably the most fun you can have while on the move.
Wow your channel is amazing. I love all your videos so much and I’ve learned so much after watching your vidoes. I wish you all the best for the years ahead.
Thank you 💙💙💙
I really love how yall might not like something....but u make do with what u have. Thats awsome. Keep up the awsome vlogs!!!
Hahah we try!!
my favorite way to travel , love love love trains.
Cant... stop... binge watching! You two are absolutely the sweetest 💖😁!
Welcome to Lviv!
Take the intercity express trains. Much more modern/clean.
Love your channel guys you inspire me to be like you guys and Kara is so sweet
love is...swopping sheets and towels with your hunni...AND THEN SNIFFING THEM! above and beyond that man!x
Those stains look like bedbug remains. When they're squashed, they leave behind blood (sometimes red sometimes brown) and it can stain sheets permanently. Make sure you watch out for any bedbugs that got on your stuff (they're hidey! and can really only be killed by squashing or Really high heat, like an industrial dryer), but the sheet could've easily been from another compartment, or even another train if the sheets are washed as often as they should be. Though, that one definitely should've been thrown away. :D Thanks for sharing this part of your journey!
Oh boy, I remember that level of tired during my travels. Interesting bathrooms.😄
That bathroom stuff was made for water economy, because some people just turn on water and proceed brushing their teeth, with such mechanism as in those bathroom it's impossible to waste lot of water
I look forward to you new uploads and LOVE YOUR ENERGY and Kara I ADORE YOU A TON!!!
Living the best life! Future goals!!!!!
Omg that just made my day❤️❤️❤️
Anyone else who spent the entire time thinking how Nate was going to wake Kara up with a coffee, given the water/faucet situation on the train??? Had to wait until 13:00 mins in to see how Nate would give the gorgeous Kara coffee.... solution Coffee shop 3km away. Im guessing Kara would have settled for "tasteless brown water within walking distance" if she had to.
I think we all know Kara to well by now!!
Ive also picked up on Karas habit of peanut butter out of the jar to save $$ on lunch!! Does anyone remember there Melbourne Australia vlog down ths Great Ocean Road trip when she called it "Peeaaanue Butter". 😅😅😅
Wow!! How cool that you went to Lviv!! My great grandmother is from a village outside the city!! I am planning to visit next spring!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
My nighttime routine is watching you guys before I go to bed, i don’t even know if that’s weird 😆 it’s just relaxing and entertaining and I get excited to wind down and listen to your voices regularly
It’s so sad what’s happening right now😔😞
Hi Kara and Nate, I love your videos so please keep them up, I am a viewer from Denmark. ❤️🇩🇰🇺🇸
Thank you 💗
Thank you for making such positive videos about Ukraine. Your vlog s great!
Always bring a compact camping towel with you when you're backpacking! Always comes in handy when things don't seem very clean...
Your train videos are my favourite
Love ur channel so much guys keep it up
i’m enjoying your vlogs so much lately! 🥰🥰
If you like over night trains, you might consider taking the night train with SJ from Stockholm, Sweden to Narvik, Norway. From the city and farmlands, to beautiful mountains and fjords.
Kyiv and Lviv sound so similar! Every time you guys upload a video, I just feel so happy!!! Love from India!!
Kara your the best and seriously inspired us to start our channel, hope you can support ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
love from 🇧🇩Bangladesh dear KARA N NATE...hope u will visit this beautiful country soon..good wishes.. Go Ahead❤
11:05 Coffee! ... Finally!
Your train adventures are some of my faves!
You guys are the best!So happy that you have been posting so many videos lately!keep going and congrats!
The coffee shop looked awesome!
Soft booth yummy coffee.
I don't know why I like so much the train travel day. I'll keep on binging old videos while I wait for new ones! No rush y'all! jaja
You guys are crazy haha! Love your positivity even when you're tired!😂♥️
😁💗
The stains are probably rust from the laundry
Nobody wants rust in the first-class carriage.
Well it’s basically a 3rd world country lol what do u expect
Just an old laundry plant with old pipes.
Guys so sad I didn’t meet you any where while you were in Kyiv , I watch you for 1 year aprox . Didn’t think you would be coming to Ukraine 😁
It seems that you liked it and I’m extremely glad about it , hope you come back sometime and would be really cool to meet you guys !
Love you !
hope you enjoyed with Lviv and his spirit
An hour until your train and you go to a restaurant? I'd be panicking!!
Also, including switzerland on your scale will always leave you disappointed :(
Bed bug findings!! Aaahhh! Nevertheless you’re still living your best lives!! 😊😊
Only just found you guys. It's wonderful to watch the interact ion between you and even in the darkest of issues you always find a positive.
I love the way Kara needs caffeine . Just like me X
Your videos always bring a smile to my face. 😁
So do comments like yours 🤗🤗🤗
Love you guys. Have you thought about going to Albania!
0:33 Is that a Chernobyl reference t-shirt? God bless that guide :D!
1) Never get tired of the Kara Bug Eye Look 2) Dirty Clean vs. Clean but Dirty... thats worthy of a philosophy class... 3)...of course the first order of the day is an Uber to a Coffee Shop... Just another day in the glamorous world of adventure travel... Priceless :)
I am happy you are on a safe train.
its weird because I rode 3rd class last weekend and my sheets and towel were cleaner than those
Me too, not sure what class it was, as tr was a few years sgo.But there was 4 beds in each room but everything was clean for me too.
@@fionahanton1985 that was Not corporate train I took it couple of times because the price was low and always there were free places but experience was close to their's. The best sign you are in not corporate train is no fresh air Now I don't take any train except of Intercity
@@fionahanton1985 2nd
it's just a lottery. it looks like a rust drops.
@@LB-sn4cb maybe it wasn't. My boyfriend at that time was ukrainian so he sorted everything like that. But i enjoyed the train ride. It was an experience.
The trunk in such trains is under the seat, all you have to do is raise the seat up.
Lviv is so lovely!
Love you Kara and Nate!!
