  • In Russia the winters are long and harsh. This is Siberia in 2022, alongside my family (sister and Gran) as we prepare for the cold winter in Siberia, Russia and enjoy the last few days of summer warmth. We head to my Auntie's home in Kemerovo city, Russia to check out the vegetables and fruits she grew, alongside my Babushka, in her garden over the summer months and take them home to prepare, pickle and store for use over the long Russian winter. As things in Russia turn cold and the snow begins to fall, families have to freeze and find other methods to store food to eat throughout the Siberian freeze. Also in this video with my family, we head to the supermarket (grocery store) and across the city to run some errands and buy the supplies we need for winter 2022.

    For those of you asking, Matt is currently in Kazakhstan, working on our future video and channel plans!
    We are so excited for what is coming and can’t wait to share more soon! And of course I can’t wait to see him very soon! 🥰

      I am enjoying you sharing life in Siberia and Russia with your family. Hard to imagine how cold the winters are as I grew up by the beaches of Southern California, USA. I lived in Kansas and Idaho during snowy cold winters but strangely when I lived there they were experiencing their warmest winters ever so, i never was bothered by the snow but rather enjoyed it. Be safe. Take care!😎🏜❤

    Birch trees are very important in any cold wet climate, it is paper to start fires. It starts fires easier than paper when used correctly.

    It must be very hard to be without Matt at the moment, can he come to Siberia soon? Do you have dual nationality as you’re married?
    You speak English so amazingly well!!!! Where did you learn it?
    Where do your Mum and Dad live? Do you and Matt have other jobs in the past or have you always done CZcams? Perhaps you could do a Q & A sometime, if you haven’t already?
    I really love watching your vlogs!! I think you were very brave travelling alone for such a long distance and crossing borders!! I would be anxious just short distance in U.K. where I live.

    Hello from Kettle Falls, (eastern portion) Washington state in the United States. I have cold and snow here for about 5 months in the winter, but I’m only at latitude 48.6 N, about the same as Volgograd, so definitely not so cold as Siberia! Watching your videos is so fun and enjoyable. Such great and interesting adventures! I hope your Gran stays well. She is feisty, independent and so efficient (making your jams before you can get to them). She must truly be your treasure. Your auntie Olya has a sharp wit and sense of humor. You wanted pumpkins from her garden, but she says you came too late to decide if they would be planted. Ha! But such a beautiful garden! You made me curious as to what kind of special apples you made into jam. Our state is know as the best place for apple growing in our nation. By the way, Washington state has many birch trees as well!

It's always interesting to hear about traditional remedies for taking care of an illness. Every culture has "timeless cures" for getting over a "cold or sore throat". When I visit different countries I am always grateful to learn of these traditional methods as they are fascinating to me. Julia, your "Auntie" and your "Gran" are such strong, hardworking and independent women. They have certainly set an excellent example for you and your sister. Have a wonderful time in your hometown, please say hi to Matt when you talk with him. Hope the rest of your family(and Matt's) are well and happy. Looking forward to what special treat you will be cooking in the next video. 😋
