Welcome to SIBERIA | Solo female road trip through Altai, Russia

[@jaleelahmad3845]

Your way of story telling is on a next level !

[@Ducanralf]

Pretty good story indeed,greetings from Moscow 👋🇷🇺

[@KomnataNorth]

Great content! Finally, somebody who makes videos about the region they travel to, not about self-promotion!

[@amoreazione3563]

she actually didn't say anything about the region itself, apart from the very, very basic lowdown on where it is located and how to get there. Not much in the way of landscape description or historical insight. Don't expect much more from Americans.

[@ekaterinakudriavtseva862]

This is a cool video. I am from Novosibirsk and have been in Altai for several days. The Katun River is very beautiful, its color is simply magical. I really like that people from other countries come to Altai and tell us about it.

[@SophieGreenleaf]

You just made my Altai Ancestors (and me) smile. Thank you! :)

Your writing have always inspired to travel and now this. Although waking up everyday to your stories on Instagram about Russia and especially Altai was like a morning ritual in this lockdown until those ended. Now watching this is an absolute treat!

[@devayanipathak1410]

@@LostWithPurpose the rituals continues, all your runs and nature trails are equally admired. Indian lockdowns are difficult, we are keeping ourselves strictly inside, considering the population and density. But all is well! Keeping strong, staying safe. That's the least we can do, right!

[@paulsdancing5429]

Thank you for sharing. Siberia reminds me of Canadian Prairie provinces and the Canadian North. Altai is the equivalent of the Rockies, Banff, Jasper. So much in common. Wishing for better relations on government levels.

Ok, well, I've visited Altai last year in September, we drove with a few of my comrades from the city of Omsk through Novosibirsk in my buddy's RAV4 all the way to Tashanta via the Chuyskiy trakt (pass, road, highway, I don't even know what the correct word would be in English). And I was confident that I had been to Altai, but watching this video I'm having second thoughts. There seems to be way more to see than what we saw during our trip.

[@DrewBraaten]

I've recently discovered your channel and subscribed! Great video. I'm from London and want to drive my own car to Siberia next year or in 2022. (I'm really used to long distance driving in my 2 cars and for my job). I have just 1 issue. When I was looking at getting my Visa, it says that I have to book accommodation in advance and send off proof before my Visa can be granted. I always thought that camping in Russia was impossible for tourists, due to this? How did you overcome this problem? I wouldn't mind spending a few nights in a hotel, but I would love to Wild camp too. Also what month did you travel, as the weather and scenery looks amazing, so I be would looking at going at the same time of year as you. Any info will help a lot. Thanks for an amazing video

[@michaelburchardt3920]

I don't think camping is impossible for tourists if you go with a tour company

[@borissarmatov4391]

Being Russian i faced the same problem going on a road trip to EU some years ago. I literally had to book my hotels for the missing dates right from the visa center. Although i finally sticked to those bookings i guess i could have just cancelled them after getting my visa. a bit cheaty but i guess would have worked just fine.

[@wonabe]

Book a cheap hotel if its a money thing, otherwise book and cancel. or maybe you already solved the problem since 8 months passed =)

Hi Alex greetings from SF!!!

[@April_1991]

Опять, как в годы золотые, Три стертых треплются шлеи, И вязнут спицы росписные В расхлябанные колеи... Россия, нищая Россия, Мне избы серые твои, Твои мне песни ветровые,- Как слезы первые любви! Тебя жалеть я не умею И крест свой бережно несу... Какому хочешь чародею Отдай разбойную красу! Пускай заманит и обманет,- Не пропадешь, не сгинешь ты, И лишь забота затуманит Твои прекрасные черты... Ну что ж? Одно заботой боле - Одной слезой река шумней А ты все та же - лес, да поле, Да плат узорный до бровей... И невозможное возможно, Дорога долгая легка, Когда блеснет в дали дорожной Мгновенный взор из-под платка, Когда звенит тоской острожной Глухая песня ямщика!..

[@ПолинаТихонова-э1с]

Так смело!!! В одиночку путешествовать опасно, вы такая смелая!!! Я бы не решилась на такое, хотя это скорее всего из-за того что я в механике полный ноль и в случае поломки я бы не смогла машину починить, а еще страшно ночевать в палатке в одиночестве... а еще на некоторых отрезках дорог пропадает телефонная сеть и заглохнуть там было бы очень страшно, за помощью идти далеко.

[@ПолинаТихонова-э1с]

@@LostWithPurpose Я трус ))) на такое решиться не смогу... хотя по горам в Чимгане бегала в одиночку (горы около Ташкента, республика Узбекистан), но там люди почаще встречаются, да и от техники не зависишь. Хотя, кто знает что будет завтра, может и решусь на такое приключение)))
