Derbent, Dagestan (Russia’s southernmost city 🇷🇺)

[@davidbakara5044]

Wonderful video! Love all the ethnic content and food… great hosts, too!!

[@MattandJulia]

They are amazing people in Dagestan 😊 So glad you enjoyed it David! ❤️

[@ExpressAudioVideo]

Its impossible not to love this couple... If your having a bad day just watch their videos and you will feel better.

[@costasworldofmusicmemories5792]

The views from a top Derbent are breathtaking. Love you guys. Julia , Walking up all those steps to the fort huffing and puffing with a smile 😁 on your face. And Matt egging you on. That's why we watch and never miss a video. You take us to places Harriet and I only dream about.😍😍 Sending you lots of love. 💖💖 Jim and Harriet. Richmond, Va.

[@neverwise]

That story was already funny and then you tell us about the key snapping. I instantly thought of the lyrics to Hotel California "You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave" I could never go anywhere with so many roaming cats, I'd be stuffing cats in my backpack and kittens in my pockets to try and smuggle them back to Scotland! Great video, I'm always chuffed when your new vids come out.

[@chrishamlin4004]

Brilliant editing. So enjoyable to watch. I love how natural you both come over in your videos. Nothing is contrived. Oh and the fort looked amazing.

[@joannmcgowan9394]

Another great video! The views were amazing!, those boys made me s,ole ! Not so much the roach - I’m paranoid too , glad you got another room ! Thank you for sharing

[@nadinecampbell3676]

I am flip flopping all over the world as I watch your wonderful videos as I have no idea how to watch them in order. Love every moment, so many places that I will never see in person. You give 100 per cent in all your videos. Simply amazing. One thing that I am curious about is what you pack for each of your journeys. You may have mentioned in previous ideas but I have not come across it yet. Would be interested to know how or if your packing has changed as you are becoming more experienced on your travels.

As usual you've put a huge grin on my face and lots of warmth in my heart! I am addicted to the relaxed and natural feel of your videos and your zest for life. I do believe that you enjoyed that meal after the long windy climb to the fortress and I am glad you could return to a nice room with no cockroaches and no "boiler of Damocles" over your heads! Your laugh is still so contagious Julia! 🤣😂 PS: I am fascinated by your facial expression after taking a sip of that meat bouillon(?) Matt? Delight or surprise or too hot or too cold? 🤔

[@kabardinka1]

The cockroach crawling inside Julia's ear paranoia is classic. If it did lay its eggs inside, please have a special episode devoted to that! Gorgeous views (and kitties) from the fortress. Счастливых путешествий.

[@MattandJulia]

If it did, we would do an entire series 😄❤️

[@bukitkatilmp]

Its a bit like Alien Resurrection!

[@alicomando1195]

What is the antenna of a cockroach called? Hint:-Since the cockroach waves them about, the antennae are also called 'feelers'. In fact, the antennae are the 'nose' insects - they are used for the sense of smell. A variety of individual joints make up the paired antennae. That implies that they can be very mobile.

[@PJL7095]

So several weeks back I came across your channel. I really don’t recall how but I do know I was watching the New Year’s video as well as a couple other ones made around that time. I thought at first both of you were actually Russian lol. I wondered why two Russians were making videos in English! Then I read the ‘About’ section you have on your channel explaining that you’re from the UK and sold everything, quit the nine to five to go travel. I guess my next question would be how the two of you learned to speak Russian. Do you plan traveling to other countries in hope of one day going to them all? Also- what is your concern about the impending Russia/Ukraine conflict if any & are you even aware of it? Thank you for the videos & safe happy travel!

[@MattandJulia]

So glad you are enjoying the videos! 🥰 So, I (Julia) am Russian & British- I was born and bred in Siberia but moved to the UK when I was 18 and Matt is English 😊 And for sure there isn’t a country on Earth we wouldn’t travel too 🥰

[@evl1536]

The "impending Russia/Ukraine conflict" exists only in the minds and in the media of the British and Americans, and it can only exist if one or both of these countries deliberately provoke it, which they are actively doing.

[@АлександрДобрый-х9э]

Конфликт хочет запад, поэтому и нагнетает ситуацию. Россия ничего не хочет. Пора бы давно это понять и защитить себя от пропаганды западных СМИ.

[@АлександрДобрый-х9э]

Вы посмотрите на официальных лиц Америки. В каждом предложении ложь и манипуляции. Говорят, что вооруженные силы России прямо на границе, а они от границы 250 км. А украинские войска на границе с Россией, в количестве 120 тысяч, они не замечают или не говорят об этом. Также нагнетает ситуацию и Джонсон.
