Dari, I tried to send you the cashmere coat on your Amazon wish list, but Amazon says this item cannot ship to a gift list address, that is not to your address. I would like for you to have that coat, but don’t know how to get Amazon ship it to you. Any thoughts? Patrick

[@DariStep]

@@dcproman oh really!? Firstly, thank you sooo much for willing to do so ✨🙏🏼 I really appreciate it! Tbh, I don’t understand why it’s like that... For me it shows that it can be delivered to my address (and it’s added to the list but hidden) so it should work 🥲

[@dcproman]

@@DariStep I agree, the coat is still listed on your list, but it won’t let me send it to your address (which is hidden on the Amazon page). It gives no reason why it can’t be shipped to your address, only that it can’t be shipped to a wish list address. Do you have any other address where it could be shipped-I understand you want to keep you residential address private-but is there any alternate address where you could receive it?

[@RussianPlus]

Merry Christmas Dari 🎉. These Christmas decorations are one of the many many beautiful things about living in America. Even small towns will have fantastic decorations. Makes me miss America already 😂. Glad you are having a great time 🎉

[@DariStep]

Ahahah you should come back here!!! Happy holidays 😊🎉

[@gabriellagirardi4741]

Congratulations Dari for your studies and above all for your good grades! The video was so nice. Wish you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, a fantastic 2024❤⭐️🌲⭐️🌲⭐️🌲⭐️🌲

[@DariStep]

Thank you! Wishing you the best holidays!

[@jts-x5k]

🎉🎅🏻That’s exactly what I would say to Dari! 👍👍🎄

[@KB-kn4yz]

STAIGHT A's!!!!! WOW. CONGRATULATIONS So proud of you..kicking butt this semester. Thank-you for sharing your life with us.. Great job...

[@jeffbreezee]

Congratulations on the straight As in your classes. My 17 year old daughter also just got straight As! You have something in common.

[@peterpetiet7900]

Congrats with your good grades on the uni, have a wonderful and happy 2024 ! Greetings from the Netherlands !

[@SagaciousHamster]

What a fantastic wrap up to the year. Great to learn you passed with such amazing grades. Loved the views of the decorated houses. Awesome that you took time to watch some documentaries on space. Looking forward to your adventures in NY (and elsewhere?) in 2024.

[@DariStep]

Thanks so much!

[@malignentsin]

This is the first video iv seen on your channel, I discovered Natasha today while randomly wondering what life is like in Eastern Russia. After watching some video iv been through a lot of emotions up and down. But just want to wish you continued success and prosperity for 2024. Thank you for sharing your journeys.

[@DariStep]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@chevychase]

I'm glad you are enjoying good Christmas movies! "It's a Wonderful Life" is by far my favorite. It shows how we all make a real difference in the world, and I feel that you are making a difference in the world. Two wonderful new movies now in the movie theaters are "The Boys in the Boat" and "The Holdovers" - both will make you SO happy!

[@DariStep]

Ahahah thanks for sharing!

[@MichaelW969]

Congrats on a very successful 1st semester! My favorite Christmas movie is It's Wonderful Life. It was filmed in the 1940s in black and white, but it is a great movie with a great message. Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!

[@solconcordia4315]

Donald John Trump's Shuttle flight was handing this VHS videocassette to passengers. I hope that he himself had actually watched it and taken its message to heart.

[@mkl80]

You should watch the movie "Bad Santa" to see a different perspective of the season. It's a classic.

[@EricOfTheNorthlands]

If you have time, Dari, please add "Miracle on 34th Street" (the 1994 version) to your list of must-see Christmas movie recommendations. The entire film takes place in NYC starting with the Thanksgiving Day parade, and is every bit of heartwarming and funny you could possibly want in a Christmas movie. It even features a Russian-speaking Santa Claus, how's that for a tease?😀This movie doesn't get quite the recognition or fanfare of some other Christmas titles, which I think is a pity because it's a childhood favorite of mine that I still enjoy coming back to watch over and over again especially at Christmas.

[@uzeela]

Congratulations Dari on your academic achievements this term!!! So proud of you!! Enjoy your break and Happy New Year!👏👏👏👏😘

[@DariStep]

Thank you ☺️

[@paulharrison8379]

Its 2024 here in the UK and so I thought I would wish you a happy new year. I hope that you enjoy the celebration in New York, which I think is in 4 hours time.

[@DariStep]

Happy new year!!!

[@harrydecker8731]

Congratulations, Dari! A's in all classes, even accounting! Love that white and pink sweater! The mulled wine looks delicious. Sounds like you're going to have fun. You deserve a rest. New York City so beautiful. Happy for you that your dreams are coming true. You and New York City seem to go well together. Having you there certain makes a more beautiful and friendly town. Once the New Year comes, you have more work to do!

[@DariStep]

Thank you so much!

[@thekru2024]

If you are a hopeless romantic check a movie called “sleepless in settle” it’s an old one but really good.

[@curtvona4891]

Merry Christmas Dari! Congrats on the good grades. Hope you are having a wonderful holiday. ❤

[@DariStep]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@blue-fj9ky]

Happy holidays! We your fans are glad your American adventure is going so well!

[@DariStep]

Thank you!

[@daviddb4858]

Thank you for sharing a part of your Christmas. I'm glad to see you are doing well in your studies, and that you are enjoying your explorations of New York City. Yes, there is much more to explore in America! Best wishes and take care.

[@DariStep]

Happy holidays!

[@teambanzai9491]

Congratulations for not only successfully completing your first semester, but acing all of your exams, Dari! One of my favorite Christmas stories is The Shepherd by Frederick Forsyth, who is best known for his thrillers like The Day of the Jackal and The Odessa File. It was originally a gift to his wife, who requested a ghost story. Now a short 2023 film on Disney+ (but I still recommend reading the book even over the movie). Thank you for the neighborhood tour. Being from a tropical country, I don’t envy the freezing temperatures! 😁 I know it can be difficult being alone at Christmastime so thank you for taking the time to share with us this vlog! 🥹 Wishing you a prosperous New Year ahead!

[@DariStep]

Thank you a lot ✨

[@72151]

Congratulations to you Dari 👏👏👏

[@nancyrasmussen-evans1055]

I went for a walk on Christmas Eve along the waterfront in Williamsburg, Brooklyn where I live. The city looked absolutely magical. Happy Holidays❤

[@DariStep]

Oh I’ve been there! So pretty 😍

[@blancacordero3998]

Congratulations on your good grades! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year🎉

[@DariStep]

Thank you! You too!

[@rons3103]

Wow Dari, you really give a new meaning to Christmas from your first impression, expression. It kind of reminds me of Brenden Fraser movie, Blast from the Past! And speaking of movies, your in American now, your suppose to have Die Hard on the list (Yes, he say it was not a Christmas Movie, but everyone makes it one)! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Of course, I have enjoyed watching all of the movies from your list, but I would add The Polar Express and, my all-time favorite, Miracle of 34th Street(1947) (BTW: Its set in New York)! I can see your eager to travel and look forward to those adventures coming soon. Pretty soon, we will have to call you, Dora the Explorer (Boy those names are so close Dora-Dari?)! 😂😂. Too bad your new friends had to head back home for the holidays, but it happens! I'm sure your Mom is just a phone call (video call) away, I hope! Again, thanks for sharing your Christmas adventure in NY! Have a wonderful New Year's as well! T's & P's for the New year! 🗽🗽🗽

[@DariStep]

Thank you so much 😃 In Russia Dora The Explorer translates as Даша путешественница (Dasha the traveler) ahahah so my friends calls me like that for many years already 😂

[@yodaz101]

A for accounting ... One of hardest courses in mba.. brilliant.. outstanding👍👍👍

[@DariStep]

[@drummy2112]

Merry Christmas Dari! You are a bringer of light and I'm so proud you're here❤

[@JimJenks1]

Hi Dari! This was a real Christmas gift of a vlog, thanks very much! Looks like you had a really wonderful and beautiful Christmas. Very happy to see that you're the A student I always thought you were and I'm sure you'll do fine in the future. As far as Christmas movies go, if you have Netflix there's a couple recent ones you might like; "The Holidate" and "Love Hard". I hope your new year is as exciting as the last!

[@DariStep]

Thank youu! And thanks for sharing the movies 😊

[@miguelgonzales8879]

The "Home Alone" scenes were a great idea! you should stay here forever.

[@danielstuck7532]

Merry Christmas in the US Dasha. Hope it fulfilled your dreams of our country. It is wonderful here in the rural parts for us. We spend time with our families. I have 8 grandchildren. It is great seeing them open their gifts.

[@DariStep]

Wow I can imagine!

[@scottamendola3909]

Congrats on your Finals Dari! 👍😊❤️ Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 🎊

Congrats to you too ✨

The movie is called The Santa Clause (like a clause in a contract), not Santa Claus. By putting on the suit, Scott is subject to a legal technicality known as "The Santa Clause," and has accepted all of the late Santa's duties and responsibilities.

I was so excited to hear you got straight A's your first semester! I always knew you were brilliant, and seeing your hard work pay off makes me so proud. I knew you could do it! I also saw your pictures from Dyker Heights - those lights are truly magical! Photos and videos just don't capture how incredible they are in person. I'm so glad you got to experience that. Wishing you a Счастливого Рождества and a wonderful Новый год! May the next year be filled with joy, success, and plenty of праздничный пирог. We are going to miss your friends that have gone back home. But look forward to meeting your new ones.

After watching Natasha's last video and now yours - I think you should try to help her apply to Harvard (I like your shirt) and come over to the US.

Hi Dari! Welcome to NYC!

[@koenv5740]

Merry Christmas and enjoy NYC, especially this time of the year the city is very beautiful and festive.

[@larrybxl5406]

Why do you have a Harvard shirt rather than your own university?? Harvard isn't getting great publicity recently after the president of Harvard testified at the US Congress a few weeks ago.

[@gregbromberg5427]

I love that you are embracing this experience. I would totally do the same if the opportunity presents itself in your home country. Congratulations on your college experience. You are setting yourself up for future successes. Enjoy the holidays!

[@informationcollectionpost3257]

Wow, they have an Arabica Coffee House! Used to be one of my favorites when I was single and living in Indiana. ( about 18 years ago) Also one of my good acquaintances lived in Queens, NY before he & his wife moved to Indiana to escape the high prices of living in the NYC area. My VPN usually connects me through NYC ,and occasionally through Charlotte, NC or SC. They have an interesting advertisement for Indoor Skydiving in the NYC area called iFly. Some of my Spainish co-workers are going to Kentucky to view the Creation Museum and the Ark. I tried to talk them into seeing the Natural Bridge too. Most of my co-workers including myself are staying home or going to Columbus to shop or tour the arboretium. ( however you spell it, giant greenhouse with lots of plants from all around the world) A few may travel to Miami, FL to see their parents and family.

[@mpgrenda]
