Hello, few days ago I found Natasha's channel, completly randomly, looking for some information about Georgia, because I want to go there this year. She recommended your's channel, and I loved both of you instantly :). Great job. I love your dark sense of humour, especially knowing your situation... Hope evrything will be better. You are awesome, do what you do, cause it's, give a lot of hope, seeing so clever young generation from Russia. Greetings from Poland, and awaiting for next films. Paka, paka :P !

I was wondering where you were..been missing you're videos..I'm just so happy to see you again..love your videos..glad you're looking very good 👍👍🤤❤️❤️❤️🥰

[@bitegoatie]

Sounds like another lovely bus ride. At least you got your stuff done, walked around Trabzon, ate candy, petted cats, watched fish, looked at the sea.

[@poetsincinlandnorthcounty1941]

Your cameos, especially at the aquarium, were very polished.. and also very adorable. I like how comfortable you are expressing both the positivity, as well as the downside, of your situation. Sure glad you have a bff to travel and vlog with, Alena!

[@SandroBalser-u8h]

Found you some days ago cool videos

[@MikeJones-gd1gp]

[@LeeBv9983]

The small cash only bus/van is called a dolmus (pro: dole-moosh). It comes from the Turkish root word "dolu" which means stuffed. Originally they were cars/vans that went point to point but often did not begin the journey until they were completely full, and then the driver would try and stuff in a couple more people.

[@letter203ify]

Nice lesson

[@georgescott6049]

Definitely fun to get out and experience other cultures.

[@ARWest-bp4yb]

You can do it Alina!💪💪 Things are pretty crazy in Georgia since you left, hoping for the best!🤞🤞

[@tweezerjam]

Been following you for a couple years. I admire you and your friends. Stay strong. Much love from Philly ❤✊🏼

[@dorkbot7534]

I really appreciate your vlog. It's refreshingly light. I am also soo very glad you are out and seeing the world. I'm so jealous of all your experiences and getting to see those parts of the world and try all that delicious food, but I am very happy for you being able to do that. Stay safe out there and enjoy your life.

[@FluffyFluffles]

I lost it at the Lokma nuts joke. Wasn't ready for that one. Good vid.

[@vaxuvax]

Merry Christmas

[@jamesvanlandingham9296]

I took a 15-hour Turkish bus ride from Istanbul to Marmaris in 2012 as a poor student. It was exhausting. Thanks for the video!

[@ianh8039]

Good to see you again Alena!!!

[@DD-fj2ut]

I like these videos. It is very interesting to learn about these different countries from your perspective.

[@gabriellagirardi4741]

Thank you very much for showing some interesting things about Turkey! I am glad that you enjoyed this journey. Beautiful video. It is really well done. Chapeau also for your perfect english and take care🍀💕🪻

[@mihaivasile9645]

Nice video. Great to see you posting more regularly, i am sure the viewers will come back also.

[@ericrabinowitz2920]

What an interesting place. I love your curiosity, flexibility and can-do attitude. I hope renewing your visa went smoothly.

[@blue-fj9ky]

Interesting video. I've never been to Turkey. Also, you look very pretty with your hair pulled back. And compliments on your videography and editing, you have skills!

[@I_am_ka]

Someday make a Turkey vs Georgia video. Living cost etc. Your journey inspires so many. SeLaVie

[@PaulFellows3430]

Very interesting and entertaining video Alena.

[@jonathanmoore4837]

❤ Thanks for the share. Love your video

[@kevinarft4625]

Congratulations Alena on 50k subscribers. You're very brave to walk around Turkey without a head scarf and short pants.

[@mariemccann5895]

Great to see you doing so well! Keep it up and all the best .

[@rustyford2790]

Cool video aquariums really are very relaxing and interesting at the same time. Glad the rest of your trip went so much better. that four story candy store was killing me almost worth the trip right there plus you found a cat. Although you didn’t look so happy on the bus lol.

[@curtvona4891]

Great video. This was very interesting. Thank you.❤

[@Chuck44442]

I'm amazed at your bloggs!!

[@JohnHolmes-h9v]

Lovely seeing you again ❤❤

[@Paul_Plays_Games]

Howdy G'day Alena glad you are in a more gooderer mindset , there's always such yumny 😋 things in your Video's , thank you🌜 🌈🌛

[@KawaTony1964]

Have you had Mexican fried ice cream? They used to serve it at a restaurant near where I live called Chi Chi's. It's a ball of vanilla ice cream coated with corn flakes. The corn flakes protect the ice cream when the ball is dropped in the hot oil and fried for 10 or 15 seconds. Then, you sprinkle cinnamon on it, and coat it with honey.

[@mickeyalba]

You are SOOOO cute!!!!!!! I wonder what these shops do with all the WASTE of spoiled candy????

[@Alex_Gordon]

congrats on hitting 50 K subscribers! 🙂 should have happened a long time ago!

[@Blackadder75]

köfte is very nice, it's basically the only thing I ever order in those turkish kebab snack-bars we have here in europe . they also serve it with rice and vegetables so it feels more like a real meal and not just fast food , from a fast food place

[@jaimegatseos6121]

You look great and seem like you're enjoying yourself. I was sorry to hear about the unreat in Georgia about there elections. Hope your safe and sound as some people say in the US. Thanks

[@johnodonohoe7602]

You look so happy on the bus 😂

[@aPizzaStainedSlob]

I was there last October and didn't like it that much. That experience sent me to an unplanned trip to Armenia which lasted 8 months, and now Tbilisi to which it has been four months. Armenia has been the best out of the three by far.

[@jeffreyallen1290]

Your english is so good. So much better than your friends that I also watch, Natasha and Dasha. I am amazed, it's almost perfect. Oh, and walking is good for you so keep it up. Just saying.

[@piccadelly9360]

👍👍👍👍

[@sfango007]

"So long, and thanks for all the fish!" ;-) No seriously, special thanks from me being a fish freak, for that beautiful aquarium footage :)

[@williamgarvy1393]

1:55 "random flower store" is called a "nursery"...

[@Alan-pv2bi]

Thanks for sharing Aleena. I agree that most men stared likely because of your fashion and cultural differences.

[@wardtroetschel3362]

Small bus is called a Van in the USA

[@solconcordia4315]

When Hong Kong's population growth created much traffic congestion, allowing these privately owned and operated small buses (小巴 each can hold up to 14 passengers) relieved the traffic problem.

[@bigtex741]

You look happier. Good luck with the visa.

[@schawk8709]

It's great to try new foods. I just discovered Vietnamese food!

[@98Zai]

The last part on the bus made me laugh. Culture differences are so fun, but maybe not for 6 hours straight.

[@littlechestnutorchard]

Apart from Samsun and Sinop city most of the Black Sea towns are conservatives. Their populations are actually ancient Greeks and Georgian converted to Turkish. Some older generation still speak ancient Greek. There is no visa or passport requirements between Georgia and Turkey, you could easily travel with an ID card between countries. Although it is not a touristic place but crime rate is nearly zero so %100 percent safe to travel around. Food wise they got their own kitchen; it is simple but healthy. At the moment bonito Fish season, there are fish restaurants everywhere. very simple grilled bonito with fresh salad would be ideal meal. Summer season a lot of tourists come from rich Arab countries because of the green mountains and sea.

[@conchfritters01]

9:20 - nice sturgeon

[@akncamlca2728]

welcome to turkey

[@shortaybrown]

What kind of music would you like to hear on the bus? What’s your favorite music to listen to right now ? Great video! Make more like this! Thanks!🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈

[@paulomendes928]

Fun fact, dis you know that the origin of the word PORTAKALLI, is actually PORTUGAL? The first oranges that were traded in this part of the world, came from Portugal. 🇵🇹 😊

[@gamefreak8924]

You should upload more videos even if they are not like special videos... The YT algorithm prefers more frequent uploads and thus a greater reach can be generated

[@uncleron9481]

"flower store" was a "nursery."

[@erikthompson404]

8:51 “I don’t have much to say about fish, because they just look delicious and that’s all I know”

[@ABrit-bt6ce]

A Polish friend went fishing in the UK once. Yum was his summary. The look on his face when we told him he was supposed to put them back was priceless.

[@solconcordia4315]

​​@@ABrit-bt6ce The ones who released caught fish had a great advantage in winning a fishing competition. The same fish or its buddies stirred up by the commotion were probably caught again ! 😂

[@carycoombe3380]

1:50 That place was selling "shrubberies" (instead of flowers). It is a pity you were not on a quest for them, and found out the owner was named Roger. 😆🤣😉 (silly reference to a Monty Python movie from before your time)

[@caseylee2394]

Oh boy .... it's 2025 everywhere now! And some of us didn't get closure in 2024 (missing recap) 🙂 Guess we'll be stuck in a time loop 🤔

[@anetaondrusovaszamocka4759]

Hi, welcome to my country. First of all, it is kind of unlucky that you went to Trabzon for your first Türkiye visit. It is one of the most religious and nationalist city in here. And most of the locals are becoming more religious now since more Arabs decide to settle down in there. (That's why we call this city as Arabzone now to mock the situation). Wearing short is normal in south of Türkiye but not common in the north, so I would suggest you to wear jeans or something similar. Other cities of Türkiye is more openminded so they dont care much how you dress. To find taksi, there is an application which we use in İstanbul but i learned that it is not used in Trabzon unfortunately. Every neighbourhood have their own taksi stand so you can ask their number from your hotel reception,maybe they can easily call for you.

[@mangimages5]

Only a really honest person would go to an aquarium and say about the fish that they look delicious...

I've been curious about the origin of word "Maidan" since beginning of the of the war in Ukraine, that '"Maidan'" means public square in a number of nearby languages. Thanks, and you did just by a random happenstance.

Would you ever do a video with anna from Ukraine?

[@travelleryildirim3013]

Yeah the North site specially Black Sea Region and East Türkiye is much more conservative but anyway you can live how you want and of corse you have Bars or clubs and can buy alcohol etc... but the Big Citys and West Coast and South Coast and around Istanbul is living much more European and you have everything what you have also in European Countrys and the best beaches are around Izmir ... ( Cesme . Urla. Ayvalik - Seferihisar )

[@truepeaker150]

That bus driver is LOUD

[@peterrichardson4192]

i didn't know you were in Turkey i thought you had gone back to Georgia. Looks like they are buying British sweets and re branding them as Turkish.

Dj Mallah feat Mc Gauland - WIR WERDEN SIE JAGEN!

[@SunjuhTribal]

Hey beloved Alena i just want to let you know that my backpack has been stolen and it sucks. i havent watched this video so this isn't a response to the video. I have been camping homeless in America which is where Im from but that is how it is when i dont have an income to provide for my own place. I had things I needed in that bag and a secondary phone for doing things while using my main phone and it is good for multitasking, but that phone is so slow i planned to get a new one soon no one will find value in that phone and no ine has connected to Wi-Fi with it. Its hooked up to google so that means i can track it and i set a security feature to lock it when it connects to Wi-Fi from my main device. All of my charging cables were in it that were with me but I had some more at my parents but I bought one because I needed to buy one otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get in contact with my mother but I did not tell her what happened until maybe the next day I did not want her to worry. I had a good black hoodie in it and a natural amazing scented soap and a bandana that is not sold anymore at Walmart theres things that i want back that i wont probably be able to buy I just want to share this hardship with you because you probably relate to thinking someone can steal stuff while traveling. It ruined my life in different ways.

[@caseylee2394]

Were all starting to think there will be no 2024 Recap 😮😮😮 10 hrs until 2025. Where r u? 🤔
