Enjoy love while it’s young and fresh, Eli. It goes through many phases over the years; each of them are beautiful and fulfilling. No stage, however, offers the intensity, adventure, spontaneity and innocent wonder of the beginning. Embrace it and see where the journey takes you! Cheers!

American people and Russia people [not governments] have so very much in common with one another! PTB are afraid of that. It was a blessing after Cold War was over. ❤ May we all learn to love one another again and defeat the hatred that they are trying to hoist upon us.

Both of you won't be bored. Russia is a fascinating country for the native and foreigner alike. Lucky American.

S T O P P R O P A G A N D A STOP COMPLICITY STOP APATHY Meanwhile, we have Russian drones in NATO airspace... WESTERNERS WAKE UP ! Propaganda ( and soft-propagandist like ElifromRussia ) is the lifeblood of totalitarianism, and public opinion polling is the lifeblood of propaganda [ In memory of Hannah Arendt ]

That's fun! He should start a blog (that would compliment your YouTube channel) that goes over all of the different culture shocks he finds interesting. It would be an interesting read and help all of us Americans better know Russia.

Eli from Russia
My solo trip across Russia is unexpectedly no longer solo. At some point during our hike in the Zabaikalsky region, my American comrade and I decided to travel to Pyatigorsk together.
Well, now I have a challenge: not only to travel the Trans-Siberian Railway from east to west, but also to make this American guy fall in love with Russia. That will be quite a task because I don’t make stops in typical tourist towns. My goal is to visit every region of Russia, hence we only stop in places that I haven't been before, and mostly that’s in the middle of nowhere in Siberia.
Wherever we stop, it's definitely fun to witness his first times: seeing and swimming in Lake Baikal for the first time, visiting Siberia for the first time, first time trying syrniki, borscht and other Russian soups, blini (Russian pancakes), halva (my favorite sweets), sushki (pretzels), and Doshirak (noodles for a train)...
We travel by platzcart (third class trains), so there are plenty of culture shocks for him. And there will be even many more ahead, because the journey is long. Hang in there, American!
