Yakutsk to Novosibirsk (Traveling through Russia in Winter)

We are leaving Yakutsk, flying across Russia and traveling to the capital of Siberia, Novosibirsk. After the 4 hour flight, we are planning to travel on a 5 hour bus journey to Kemerovo. Simple right? Well, the only issue with that we are flying out of Yakutsk International Airport, one of the coldest & foggiest international airports in Russia and on Planet Earth. Yakutsk (YKS) is notorious for its fog that blankets the city throughout the winter months. This fog often completely grounds air traffic for days on end, leaving the city and its people stranded for sometimes up to a week at a time. We may have travelled across Russia to Yakutsk on a 5 day train, and it may have been difficult but this could well turn out to be one of our most difficult travel 'days' yet. But how bad can it really be? Lets find out, I guess 🥶

I just am fascinated by your videos. I am too old to make such treks in the world and am so grateful that you guys share your journeys! I feel I get a real taste of the lifestyle you bring to life in your videos. Thank you again!

[@hayleywright4800]

I love the videos when you pass through Novosib... I lived and studied there in 1993, not far from the glavni voksal! I hope to go back one day, Siberia holds a special place in my heart. Love watching your videos, they bring back a lot of amazing memories of my years in Russia and travelling throughout CIS in the 90's! I especially love Julia's gran, she is brilliant. Thanks for the great channel!!

[@MattandJulia]

Thank you so much Hayley! Really appreciate it! So glad you enjoyed it 🥰❤️🙏🏼

[@phillipproussier3723]

How the F. did you end up studying in Russia in early 1990s?

[@BangAverage10]

⁠@@phillipproussier3723I’m curious to know, too, as I’m envious. I only went for a month long exchange programme to St Petersburg in ‘94, so it was hardly as exotic as Novosibirsk.

I am a new subscriber (since yesterday) and have really enjoyed watching your adventures in Yakutia. I don’t know how KZbin suggested your channel to me, but I am glad that it did. When I next message my Russian friend in St Petersburg, I can’t wait to tell him about you both. One day I hope that I can meet up with him in person, because at the end of the day, we are all human and want to seek new experiences and friendships. Good luck to you both going forward, and best wishes from Leicester in the UK, where the temperature is currently 13C and sunny.

I really love hearing from you both and enjoy to watch your experiences and how you open up your family and home to us. It is very special. Thank you. You are my favorite couple. I also love learning more about Russia and I really want to learn how to speak. Is it difficult? I lived a long time like you Julia in England but I am from Portugal. Hearing Matt speaking Russian is very reassuring. How long did you take to learn it? I have lived in the Netherlands for 7 years and I still battle understanding most of the Dutch language, but I think if I got into Russian it would be a different story. Love some tips on how to move forward in going forward to at least start at the basics in learning Russian. I did find another youtuber who offers Russian language courses but honestly I prefer to go at my own pace. Any tips Matt and Julia in learning Russian? Cannot wait for your next video of course.

Well, you’ve done it yet again!! Exceptional series of video, but having said that I love everything you’ve done so far right from the first vlog in your flat in the uk, I do have one question in some of your videos you occasionally speak Russian to each other, when you are not on camera do you normally speak to each other in English or Russian? Hope that makes sense.

Hi Matt and Julia. Love your videos. You Matt seems like a good man, and I like your way of making your part of your videos. You Julia har a firework. You are a sweet young woman, and you have such a sweet smile and I love it when you smile and laught - something you do often, and on of the things that makes your videos so entertaining to watch, because your videos really makes me happy many times. One thing I wonder about and are very scared for is that you both have the last months been traveling inside Russia to different places with flights. Aren’t you both afraid for your lives. After the sanctions started for more than a year Russian flight industry stopped receiving spare parts for their aircrafts, so since a year ago there has been less and less spare parts for the aircrafts. Some time last year they started taking parts from some of the working aircrafts to fix as many aircrafts as possible. How good the aircrafts are maintained is a question, so the danger for something really bad happening during flights inside Russia is growing worse and worse. Do you have to travel inside Russia right now? Can’t you go to other countries that you both want to travel too and experience now while the situation is as it is and the danger for something bad to happen is growing larger and larger. I really like both of you and hope to see more videos from you both, so I don’t want anything bad to happen to you both. I hope you think a little more seriously about the situation, and choose travels that are safer for both of you. Hope you both are doing good in life and that you are happy together. Wish you both all the best. Have a good future.

Try flying from Oymyakon 🤣 (the tarmac is in Tomtor) when it's -64C, 95% chance it'll be cancelled, flights usually on Thursdays but when you live here... Weather is in charge and any applications are not reliable as in bigger cities. Flight missed?, you have 2 options left. Safe travels!! 1. Ground (reindeer/ Dog sled or drive) 2. Wait until weather clears (90% chance it won't, wait until next week)

[@dennisvarnau8340]

When you said "How dangerous can it (flying) be?" It reminded me of an ad I saw in a Japanese telephone book in the yellow pages under airlines back in 1990-94, while living there. It was an Aeroflot ad that said: "Fly Aeroflot. Take a chance." Got a laugh out of that, because after being a Production Engineer in one of the top three aircraft engine manufacturers in the early 80's, I was of the opinion that every time you got on any plane, considering all the independent variables involved, you were always taking a "chance." Just like life in general. Nothing new. (We sent 3 pictures to your e-mail address. Hope you got them).
