  • The glimpses of our trip around Georgia with our friend that I filmed a decade ago but edited just now. In this video: robbed gas station, existential crisis, long and I hope not so boring monologue, road trip around Batumi and Svaneti, and a giant portion of egg in the dough 🍞
    Thanks for watching! 💛
    Locations in the video:
    🎡 Batumi - city center
    🌳 Botanic Garden of Batumi
    🏔️ Svaneti - Mazeri village

    Back when you were the “minimalist Russian girl” you gained a sizeable audience just by talking to a camera, people were interested in the things you were sharing. Now maybe you feel a bit of pressure to upload something spectacular each time and that requires a lot of editing, voiceover, etc. You don’t have to do that every time, I think most people who watch you do so because they like YOU (family included) not because they want to watch a videography masterpiece from Armenia or Georgia. You can still talk to a camera for 10 minutes, I think I speak for most people here when I say that we’d rather see how you are doing and your everyday life than pressure you into doing things for the sake of youtube.

    It's OK to need a break. You're a mom of two young, energetic children and have had a ton of life changes in the past year and a half. Take the time you need to give your mind and body a break. ❤

    This footage was just stunning. You are an excellent photographer and editor! You've had an incredibly busy summer!!! I don't blame you one bit for feeling like a "dead fish." Sometimes I don't know how you do it all! I'm glad you turned off the phone after a while and took time for just you, your family, and friend. Thank you again for your marvelous videos!

    Viktoria, it is said that most serious homesickness and culture shock happens after a year. It's normal. You will get through it. I did. (American in Tbilisi here.) Thanks again for sharing.

    • @peaceandlove3225
      @peaceandlove3225 Před 9 měsíci +8

      That's so interesting. What did make you move to Georgia?

    • @georgiancrossroads
      @georgiancrossroads Před 9 měsíci

      @@peaceandlove3225 It is a very long complicated story. If you watch some of my videos (4 years in Tbilisi part 1) You will get an idea. But basically I was living in America all my life, near San Francisco, in New York City and the many years in Alaska, but I felt it was time to move and I knew I was supposed to move here. It's almost been 5 years now. And I love being here.
      Besides my Georgian friends, I have also made Russian friends in the last year. It is a very interesting time here. Thanks for asking. If you have more questions please ask.

    I call these periods in life “lulls.” I’m currently in one now. I don’t know if it’s the rainy weather we’ve been having or something else, but I’ve no motivation to do anything. I’m glad to see a new video from you. I live vicariously through your trips.

    Be gentle on yourself and your low energy, moving just once can be all exhausting. And I hope the realisation that after rest the passion can return will be continually comforting. :)

    Good to see you all - it feels like ages. In the UK we tend to call lack of motivation as Lackadaisical and it is good to be lackadaisical every now and again. You're just doing what you want to do. You just have to look after yourself and do things when you want to do them. Take care. x

      In French we call it “passage a vide” (passage or period of emptiness), and “nous avons la flemme” (we have a moment of laziness), not motivated to do anything. I’m so happy to see you again. I wish you to see the end of the war soon. And to return to your homeland, to rebuild a modern and happy, prosperous Russia.

    Beautiful, as always. I love your video styles where you don’t crowd simple scenes with music, but let the small noises of life come through, with just a simple commentary from you. We love you Vika! Take all the time you need to find your rhythms of work and rest.

    I completely understand your feeling. Burning out is real, especially when you are moving around so frequently and never getting a chance to grow accustomed to where you are. It is very tiring on the mind and spirit. Keep your chin up, you are doing great, and your family is wonderful.
