The future of this channel and our lives...

We are finally back together after what has seemed like a lifetime apart! In this vlog Matt and I are spending our last few week or so in Almaty, Kazakhstan (after I, Julia arrived from Russia / Siberia ) and we want to share some exciting news about the future of this channel and for our lives over the next year at least! ❤️

I'm sharing this Jack Conte Extra video, just to put forth ways at looking at issues. I don't know that there is value there for you, and it's not like I have any wisdom to share but if I don't put this forward, there could be something of value that you might not see unless I share it. It's stuff you're thinking about, plotting out your forward motion. Sorry if it's redundant or of no interest, but hey, I tried. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIXTc3mfjJqDeNE

[@lurquizo]

I just discovered you this summer & I enjoy your videos. I’m 70 y/o & live near Chicago & I want to tell you that you are providing a very important service to the world by bringing your viewers to parts of the world that many (if not most) of us have no idea about & this creates goodwill between our countries-especially important during these times. I’m half Slovak & visited there in 1972 so I can understand a few words here & there when you speak in Russian. It’s such a big world but we’re all so much like one another in our pursuit of life. I’m old now & raised a family who are very successful & off doing their thing. I have mobility issues & can no longer walk very well but I can travel along with you to see the world & this is a tremendous gift. Anyway, I’m so glad I have found you & will be watching. Have a beautiful life together, you two, & thanks for taking us along! - Laurene

So it sounds like your goal on this channel is to go to places where there are stereotypes and you are going to show what it's REALLY like in these places. True? Do I have that right? P. S. We like that it's just the 2 of you; thats what makes it special. DONT CHANGE THAT PLEASE.

Loved this video again and you show the reality and beauty of places without creating clickbaits. I am so sick of all these travellers with titles like: "do not go here, the worst, disgusting food,..." they never understand the cultures and they do not want to, just gettings views plus there is mostly no research done. So glad you are different and that is why I love this channel more than ever. Thank you so much ❤️

Another way of looking at this is that you guys are our eyes and ears in places that some of us, for whatever reasons, can't get to. The added bonus is that you'll be telling us about the places behind the headlines, the real stories and the real people. I'm really looking forward to seeing them! Oh, Julia, will we be seeing an updated snail bread? 😁

I don't know if you two realize what a wonderful service you provide to many of us. Your happy, positive, strong and down-to-earth characters bring a fresh perspective to a world that seems to be wracked with strife and injustice. To show us parts of the world we would not normally see serves to teach and remind us that we are all just a small puzzle piece of a beautiful picture. Until I am able to lace up my own travel shoes again and pick up where I left off, I will be following and looking forward your candid & educational posts ♥

I really enjoy watching your videos. You show what a beautiful planet we live on and, despite cultural and ethnic diversity, scratch the surface and we are all the same. You will find that you are on a journey of constant learning. After 42 years as a teacher, I learned far more from the students than I ever taught them! All the best to you guys. Love the interaction between the two of you.

[@rocroc]

It is 6,423 miles from Westfield Center, OH. to Almaty. I never heard about Almaty before a year or so ago and I didn't know much about Kazakhstan either. That has all changed since then. I know that Daneliya Tuleshova comes from Almaty and I know that Dimash is from Kazakhstan. Daneliya has filmed several location videos from there and of course the two of you have given a lot of information as well. New people, new things, new ideas. Thanks for what you've done and - live long and prosper!!!

Cool retention trick - sharing the big update closer to the end 🤪 But yeah, as a KZbinr - albeit a newer one - I totally support changes to upload schedules, whether or not they are brought about by a shift in content strategy. Sometimes we just need a break - we are HUMANS after all 🤗🤗

[@MattandJulia]

Hahaha, to be honest that's true, about the retention rate buuut we didn't even think about it at the time haha! Just made sense to us to talk about it nearer the end 😀 thank you very much for your support! I definitely agree, we are only humans and everyone is just trying to do their best 🤗❤️

[@heathermccready8794]

Yes! I love this decision about how you want to focus your channel. It feels like a natural extension of what you’ve already been doing: taking us to places that a lot of people don’t go, appreciating the people, appreciating the food, and showing us that most of the world is full of good people just living their lives.

[@MattandJulia]

Thank you so much Heather! Really appreciate it, can’t wait to share more 🙌🏼🥰❤️

[@sandybotkincpaesq.6410]

Actually, I like your plans. I would love to see one video per week that goes a LOT more depth into each area. You have focused only on food and restaurants, which is fine, but I would also like to see the inside of major buildings, museums, schools, more on culture, sights etc. As for food, as an elderly person, I would like to see baked goods that are also healthy such as very little sugars and salts and butter. I don't know if you can make cultural foods with these limitations, but it would be nice to see. Anyway, I look forward to see what you are doing each week. You guys are a very cute, interesting couple.

Now enjoying re-watching your clips after visiting places in Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan, and enjoying them differently having been to the same places now. Currently up to date with all your latest updates and can’t wait to hear about where life takes you next - I can’t wait for what you’ve described , and learning more about the real stories and people you meet ❤ from Wales.

Watching your videos definitely makes ME happy so thank you both for all that you do, you don't realise how important you are x x x

Ah, thank you so much! So happy to hear 🤗😘 We are currently filming our course and I'm busy writing all the recipes up at the moment, so will share it as soon as we can! I just wanted to say that I'm sorry if I didn't explain it well enough, but we will be creating an "online baking course" on a platform called 'Udemy' (I think). I will include 10 video tutorials and downloadable recipes in the first course and it will be Eastern European/my Grans recipes. I love to incorporate cooking and baking into our videos, but if I started to just upload all of it here, I would get sooo messy and I wanted to create a space where I can share everything in the best detail and bring the most value. So we decided to do that. I'm working on my first course, but I have so many ideas...just need to keep finding kitchens on the road with ovens to film everything 😀

I immigrated from Russia to the States when I was 11 (I’m now 44) and as I get older I’m starting to get nostalgic. One of my most vivid memories from childhood is the smell of a Хлебная (a bread bakery). A Russian bread bakery, be it a separate store or a supermarket department has a unique smell that I haven’t encountered in my travels since. It’s the hearty rye and winter wheat sourdough, I think. Over the pandemic lockdown I started to bake a bit, but there are few good Russian “black” or “gray” bread recipes, so I’m hoping I might bake with you… and remember.

[@MattandJulia]

As I was reading your message, when I got to the part where you are talking about smell in a bread bakery, I just had this smell appearing. I absolutely adore it too! When we go back to Russia, I will go and film inside one, so wish I could share the smell with you! You know...I love the smell of white bread, but rye is my favourite!

Matt & Julia 2.0 coming up from a wonderful mountain top! I remember seeing a video of a Baker that would go to his mountain cabin and bake his bread in a wood stove and while baking he would play classical music until the bread is done; the videos of different breads were very relaxing. I never learned the baking or the violin and don't have any cabin in the woods!. You guys should know we accept you the way you are, the most important things are honesty, integrity and being an all around good human being which you are, so don't stress over the future. Somehow things will work out.

You approach the world with open hearts and no judgement so I'm sure that your new direction will be a success. I look forward to it. Love to You Both, Suzi

Right now I'm hooked to a negative pressure vacuum trying to get a cavity to heal from inside to out, initial surgery was 3/22 then 9/22 they scraped out whole area even larger since wasn't healing right. People just don't get how draining constant pain can be! Good Luck!

@@lbednaz The same to you, chronic pain is the worst thing in the world, I get so frustrated I've never smoked only drink on special occasions , had collie dogs so did ten mile walks, worked as a nurse so it was incredibly busy, they did give me my pension early when my hip broke and I was in hospital seven weeks, ended up with a hip replacement they were thinking they may need to replace the whole femur but I escaped that. I've done my right ankle twice and my left once just by standing on a stone my husband thought it was a stick snapping I said no it's my ankle. Sorry I'm rambling, I agree with you that things like KZbin take you away from it for a while. I am lucky we have a lovely motorhome so we can go somewhere scenic and it's a change for me.

I love the heartfelt thought that you have put in on your desires to change your filming direction, and it was very moving to witness the passion that you gave in describing it to us. Best of luck and best wishes, from Millbrook in East Cornwall. Xx

Thank you so much!! Lots of love to Cornwall! 🥰❤️

It’s healthy to have goals in your lives and your vision of what content you want to work on and ultimately show us sounds really great. It’s a kind of continuation in some ways but going into more depth which of course will take more time to produce. I will certainly will be here eagerly awaiting what comes next. I was slightly worried that you were going to quit, so glad you’re not! I think you both work so well together and obviously share a lot mutual passions. I have only quite recently discovered your channel so am binge watching at the moment and find the fact that you are such clever, kind young people very refreshing and that you think a lot about where your going and why!! Thank you so much and take care of yourselves 🍦🍦🥰🙅‍♀️🙅‍♀️

Thank you for sharing your authentic selves. Thank you for sharing the world just as you experience it, as it really is...nothing fancy, just real and beautiful. One world, one people. One Love.

[@ThatMarkGilroy]

Top travellers! 😂 It’s been such a privilege watching the journey so far and great to hear you’re moving to 1 vid a week. You’ve built a beautiful channel and you deserve to showcase your adventures however you want to.

[@MattandJulia]

Thank you so much Mark! Really appreciate having such an amazing person along with us from the very start 😍🥰❤️

[@dairuna]

I'm so glad you made it up the mountains before you left Almaty.❤ I've told you before on another platform - you and your videos have helped me a great deal "correcting" or changing my perception of the way of life in countries east of me. It's amazing to learn about, see places and meet people through your eyes, because you are honest and real - you really do love people, and we can all see that in your videos. Yes, food really brings people together, even if it's is "just" online. Best example is that dalmatian Pasticada - I'll forever think of you now when I eat Sauerbraten 😁 Big hugs to you and your families, I hope you're having a good time and are keeping happy and healthy. ❤🍀

[@MattandJulia]

Ooooo myyyy goood! You will be thinking of me when you eat Sauerbraten!!!! You won't believe how happy it made me to hear that! 😀 honestly, this is like my life goal hahaha! Thank you so much for your sweet and kind words, honestly means the world to us! Thank you for your support from the bottom of my heart! Sending lots of love and kisses to you! 😘❤️

[@thewilberforce]

Do remember that YOU TWO are why so many of us watch. You may go wherever. Big deal. Small deal. Doesn’t matter. We are with you on your journey.

[@MattandJulia]

Thank you so much for this! 🥰❤️

[@johnconnery1939]

Best wishes, with new plans. I will be watching.

[@stevekirkbride7895]

Guys, Forget Romeo & Juliette. Yours is the greatest love story on KZbin. Absolutely adore your podcasts. Keep them coming. Have fun, love the journey, love your lives. Bless you both

[@MattandJulia]

Ahaha, hooow sweet 😄🤗 Thank you so much ❤️

[@montysano]

At 22:45, just beautiful: being with your life partner, exploring our world. Doesn't get any better. My wife of 40 years and I, having gotten our family raised, have started traveling/wandering again. It's the best thing ever.

[@MattandJulia]

I couldn't agree more ❤️

[@louisedurrant1804]

Sooooo lovely to see you back together..thank you for another great vlog guys xxxx❤

[@MattandJulia]

Thank you soo much! So happy to hear! ❤️🤗xxxx

[@melanieanddavideccles895]

Change is both exciting and terrifying, best wishes on this next leg of your journey! Can't wait!

[@allanfifield8256]

As two Americans, we (My friend, an employee of the US agency and me, a turon) were turned away from a Plov center in Moscow. Admittedly it was near closing, but there was plenty of Plov left and they seated locals behind us. My friend was pretty fluent in Russian and gave them an earful.

[@MattandJulia]

O my god! I really don't get why people do that, I would always try to give out as much food as possible , so there is less waste! well, I guess they were in a rush that day. If I was there with you - I would do exactly the same thing as your friend haha!

[@allanfifield8256]

@@MattandJulia She said sometimes Americans don't get served. It was about 2008 so official relations were pretty good.

[@geoffreymoore1510]

My first time here and I look forward to where you are heading. Cheers from Australia.

[@josephfinkleman8358]

You both bring a unique perspective to the table. Matt is from the most cosmopolitan city in the world. Julia has a unique Eurasian perspective. Siberia is a part of Asia. He has the Atlantic and she has the Pacific as their starting point. You want to show how regardless of where in the world you are people are people. The writer needs to create a template for interviewing people, Find people living somewhere and spend some time with them, do a series of interviews about family, food, their world perspective, what they think is unique about their country, etc. Edit the hours together for continuity and then add the one magic ingredient that you possess. The chemistry between the both of you is human and warming in this chilly world. Develop that as a subtle undertone and I think you will be very successful. Good luck.

[@Ultra-Violet]

You're both fantastic people, genuine and down to earth, it's exciting times for you both, and for us to. Looking forward to the future with you guys, it will be amazing, thankyou Matt & Julia, stay safe 💜

[@steveramael7432]

Thank you for the update. Love your authenticity and your genuine care for the quality of your work and what you bring to your audience. Please continue and I love watching your videos, seemingly so simple, but oh so powerful and positive. I am always so impressed with Matt's Russian and your cultural sensitivity as I am Russian, raised in US, but live in Brazil for 20 years. In gratitude.

[@MattandJulia]

Matt and Julia - Looking forward to your new whereabouts in the world. I also must say that it is such a brilliant idea to have a baking course, i am definitely interested. I am sure that you have encountered so many different breads, flatbreads and pastries along your journeys. Please do share and I will so happy to be part of the adventure from my corner in AZ USA. Best wishes on your new ventures and see you soon. Josette 💕

[@MattandJulia]

Thank you so much Josette! Really appreciate it! 😍 Can’t wait to share the baking course when it is finished! It has been soooo much fun to film! 🥰❤️❤️❤️

Good luck to both of you, whatever you do! I LOVE watching your videos and being with you! Julia, I love baking, too, so I totally understand. Good luck with the courses. You will do well! I am currently rewatching GBBO and am on the season where you are on it coincidentally. You are both two lovely young people and I want you to succeed! Thanks for showing me parts of the world that I am unfamiliar with! Oh, and the food! Love it!

[@soliel8999]

I like learning about the different beliefs in the culture, like your segment on those Russian Christians who were exiled. I would really look forward to future segments like that. You guys are great! (Also love the market scenes. Economics of an area really help you understand the people.)
