This was nicely filmed. It surprised me that people were allowed to stay overnight in the parking lots in those gas stations/convenience stores. In the USA only Walmart lets you do that. All the other places need those parking spaces for people who want to get gas and to shop for items to eat. The rest stop you went to had good looking deli food like salads and Russian pancakes. Impressive. Thank you Valeria!

[@hippieista7323]

Big trucks can stay overnight in truck stops in the US.

[@ScubaJoe3]

Thank you for including us on this vacation! I loved this episode and it was great exposure to your wonderdul country. I hope you are feeling better and safe travels!

[@kenmoats3654]

Great filming and background music.👍

[@carolynsilvers9999]

The food behind the glass looks yummy

[@pauldelmolino1740]

Thank-you, this brings back memories of when I was a child and when going on vacation we would also stop and have food my mother had packed at home and brought with us.

[@aspenenglish4976]

I’m shocked as well that you can park in parking lots and sleep. I hope you enjoyed your vacation. Much love!

[@pamelajaye]

Hi there Aspen English. Did your family member ever get back home? I can't remember / didn't know Which family member it was.

[@pamelajaye]

I always liked to bring our own food. If there is nothing to see, driving at night is nostalgic because we did that when I was a kid. I'm glad you found a place to sleep. I know a girl who spent the summer in that little town last year I think. Now she is in Serbia and someone from Rostov Who is in Tashkent and someone from krasnodar who is in Georgia.

[@aspenenglish4976]

@@pamelajaye NO! They’re stuck because of a blood clot. It’s unfortunate.

[@noahlala4248]

The motorway services looked verry busy and the food looked wonderful 😊😊

[@TheCmac316]

Okay I’ll admit, I have always been curious about travel in other countries. Questions like, “Do they have rest stops like we do?”, “Do they have gas station food like the US?” Thanks for filming this for us to experience. Safe travels!

[@lukedawg357SIG]

Thanks for taking us along hope all is well and have a good trip.

[@garyfrederick9107]

that was awesome ... just get well. myself speaking i stayed in Rostov-on -don. beautiful city. i flew into there and caught a river cruise up the Don to the Volga. drove on M-4 all the way from Rostov-on-don back to Moscow one year awesome drive.

[@rolfsvensson5777]

Great video! I do think it is better to stay at home than live that life on the road!

[@rolfsvensson5777]

Sheff was right! Stayed home! Smile! Poor guy and crying all night!

[@TargaWheels]

Sounds like a good place to start a hotel chain.

[@mickvictor]

This video was a bit surreal. It was just like a road trip here in Texas. I just couldn't read the signs!😂 I did notice a couple of items in the store you'd find here. Lay's potato chips. Gillette razors. The food looked appetizing and my compliments on your choice of background music. See you next time.

[@bkon4675]

Another interesting video. Your voice was fine. the audio was perfect. So I traveled to Moscow and Saratov in 2001 and it appears to me that Russia, at least in the cities that there have been many improvements made. One of the things i found lacking that appears is no longer an issue is finding public clean restrooms. You have a lot of modern updates in 22 years later. Looks pretty good.

[@anneyday3493]

Thank you for sharing your adventure!

[@REALcatmom]

The rest stop with the deli, snacks, gifts & drinks looked SO nice!! We have places like this in the USA too.

[@bganonimouse2754]

Watching your adventures reminds us of how life is a journey and its important to enjoy the moment. We are all so focussed on the destination, but that is only part of the story of life.

[@jpeel2066]

Have a safe journey. All the best 🇬🇧.

[@ann3856]

Your road was busy. Children need bathrooms more than adults. We can't sleep at the filling stations. (Danger) I'm glad you had a driver. I'm sure you enjoyed a shower at the hotel and having your legs straight.

[@mdavid1955]

Your gas stations/convenience stores look just like similar ones here in the US. Safe travels!

[@bubbles7950]

And the same setup for rest areas in Canada

[@rebelinthenorth4991]

Nice video. I enjoyed it. Have a safe trip.

road trip in Russia at night. God Speed

[@mic_hairyson5495]

Very low price on diesel and petrol i Russia, here in sweden we pay 2.1 usd for 1 liter petrol and 2.3 usd for 1 liter diesel., but we have also higher salarys, about 1600 usd after tax for a "normal" full time job

[@HurricaneWeasel]

Not very expensive? Well that is truly different in Germany. Here stopping at a "Rasthof" on the Autobahn can make you poor. I cannot recommend it since the prices are very high (some products probably 5 times the price in a discounter). Take an exit. Drive too a little Restaurant. Fuel up at a station a little bit away of the Autobahn. It is well worth the time and the additional kilometres.

[@rosalindastrona380]

Thanks for sharing .

[@martingregory9881]

Good video . If I am going to drive a long distance I prefer to drive at night / very early morning hours . In the UK I never use the petrol stations along the motorway because they are very expensive so I fill the tank up before hand .

[@ozthunder]

Petrol in Russia is quite cheap compared to here in Australia. Pre Covid I could get petrol for A$1.25(76R) per litre. Now the best in my area is around $1.93 (117R). Our wages are higher of course, but still Petrol is expensive for Australia. Like the USA, Australians rely on cars to go most places and work. Public transport outside capital cities is almost non existent.

[@7924hobo]

Love the videos. I really like the music at the end. Could you tell me the name of it? Thank you.

[@-TheOracle-]

Wow the prices there for US currency, a family of four can eat for less than .10 cents. I will not even pick up a dime on the street in the USA. I will be picking that dime up from now on, clean out my dresser draws, under the car seat, in the kitchen catch all draw and head to russia for a lavish vacation! Sure cannot do that in the USA!

[@P3rformula]

Funny, but you have a point.

[@htoddgriffin4787]

Thailand is MUCH nicer, language isn't a problem, and you don't have to be worried about a drone landing on you and going BOOM! Much more Boom Boom in Russia's future. You shouldn't invade your neighbors.

KAEO IS A TOWN I WAS BORN IN NEW ZEALAND LOOKS SIMILAR TO THE SIGN ON YOUR VIDEOS

[@katherineafzal2315]

Thank you for sharing. How did you film from the angle of being beside/above the car outside? The mini mart looked nice. Didn't realise so many families would prefer to sleep in the car at a gas station. Here in the US, I guess you could sleep in your car at a rest stop. I think most stay in a hotel/ motel. How come you didn't try to book a hotel room in advance, before starting your road trip? This way you would have been able to better plan your stops and not try to find a hotel at the last minute. 😊

[@jillipepper5353]

Hope you feel better soon🙋🏼‍♀️

[@mauricestanley5763]

Like the video + like the music

[@timothywhitley383]

Sadly this kind of holiday is the sad realism for average Russians. All forced to stay in the country and travel for days in a car with children to the south of the country or across to Georgia. Better to stay at home and pray for better days. ammmmmmmmm

[@boonhinglim6670]

Drive in summer,rest in winter soon,seasons affect human moods

[@status-xk8kr]

It's often dangerous to sleep in vehicles in parking lots in the USA because of crime.

[@hippieista7323]

Y’all need a Buckees. The perfect gas stop in the south US. This is close, but not quite.

[@rbspider]

A fellow Russian was saying the bread in the States has lots of sugar and is too sweet. Do they not put sugar in the bread mix? You said bread at rest area very yummy !

[@juliesostaric7337]

Can’t believe none of the wealthy in Moscow have never thought to build small road side motels for travellers..

[@michaelhoran407]

This confirms it is best to travel by passenger train in Russia.

Weird selection of sandwiches at Лукойл. Chicken, bacon & egg? And the ever popular tuna and egg. 🤔

[@BeasleyStreet]

I think I'm in a small minority of people who have actually spent time in Russia, six months in Voronezh 2004, a lot of ignorance demonstrated in the comments unfortunately ...

[@status-xk8kr]

The roads look much better in Russia compared to much of the roads in the USA?

[@larrybarrett5810]

Good Day !

[@TheresaPowers]

Your voice is very comforting, Valeria. I always enjoy your videos.

[@DeniseDDS]

$35 for a toll is insane. I know this was filmed awhile ago, I hope you are feeling better now.

[@elleb7523]

We have tolls in the USA around me that are $30-60USD for a 10mi stretch of road. Demand is high, capacity is low.

[@oldjunkvet]

@@elleb7523 yes but on average people make much much less money in Russia than they do here. For a Russian, that is an outrageous amount of money!

[@mitchyoung93]

She said this was from Moscow to Tikhoretsk, which Google tells me is 1247 km or about 750 miles. So not so bad.

[@pattiwhite9575]

Well, I think someone would be real smart and build some hotels along that route. So many people, traveling so far but nowhere to sleep. The smart ones had big money and have big travel vans. It is just ridiculous not to have accommodations for travelers. Maybe travelers is a new concept in Russia. Who is making all the money off toll roads? What a gimmick. I hate toll roads. That would be way way too much driving for me to handle. I can not imagine how you felt sitting in back seat. Your buns must have been so sore.

[@vulgarisopinio]

It takes time to develop infrastructure. The toll money goes to the public-private consortium that built the road.
