  • I got a lot of questions this month ever since moving back to Kyiv and signing a 1 year lease on this new apartment. In today's video, we'll be answering everything.

    You hit the nail on the head when you said that Ukrainians look fit because they walk a lot and don't over-eat. In the US people drive their cars EVERYWHERE because the nation is completely automobile-based. You can't walk anyplace even if you want to. Also I look at the junk that is sold in the frozen food section and I wonder how anyone survives eating it without getting fat or falling ill.

      What always amazes me is that when Americans have the space to grow food, they don't. It's all grass that needs mowing. I live in the UK, where people even grow a few tomato on a balcony or tiny garden. The Ukrainians that have gardens grow huge amounts and varieties of vegetables.

      thats what happens when you have a country like ukraine which makes its own food and exports it. We in the West rely on imports and so just eat artificial over processed crap.

    I think there's a popular misconception about the security in Kyiv. Despite the country being at war, Kyiv is still a relatively safe city.
    There certainly aren't russian hitmen openly running around town.

    I do currency arbitrage/digital nomad in reverse. I rent a cheap apartment over a store year-round in Chicago and travel abroad for months. The neighborhood is not great (2 shooting deaths this month) but it’s fully equipped and close to public transit. I have a place to keep my stuff while I run my online business and never need to deal with residency visas, taxes, etc…but I've never been a typical American. I'm 63 and don't need the big house or luxury car anymore, and I've been to 40 countries since 1990.

  • @DerderianEclecticTravel

    JFD THANK YOU for another winner.. Just an enjoyable time getting to know you, such as it is. I know you already know we go there about every 6 months to volunteer and see my wife's family. Liek you my dream is to live in Ukraine, maybe an apartment to ABnB out in Kyiv, but live in maybe Zhashkiv or outside Odessa, maybe winter in Armenia and the rest of the year in Ukraine. Obviously the retirement dollars go A LOT further - but its just the quality of life to experience there. Good food, great culture, awesome people, and gorgeous country. Whats not to love?? I'm still a couple years out, but hunting pretty deep on real estate. Watching you as an ExPat, and of course speaking with my wife's family helps a lot. But honestly, your perspective as an ExPat is HUGELY helpful. You speak my language -if that makes sense.
    Thank you again for your investment of time and energy.

    Sensible move to block the negativity criticisers, I reckon! Why do they think they can tell others what they should or shouldn't be doing! They never walked in another person's shoes... I like the way you chat and ask what people think sometimes, because that's wat anyone does when weighing stuff up in their minds. It used to be called conversation, not taking dictation on what your life-path *has* to be:) Your plan sounds fair enough to me. We all have hopes and dreams in our own lives. That's the rich tapestry of life (well, in most countries except ussr and nk, etc., !!! Aww, a doggy and children sounds like a lovely plan, Johnny. I wish you so much joy if you get to where you're heading in that. Time to relax and do whatever makes you happy. That's what good friends and worthwhile people should be wanting for you. The rest who try to dissuade you will not be having your best interests at heart, I reckon. Your family are lovely, by the way.
    Also, I love that you're now saying Kyiv in more of a Ukrainian sounding way, not ki-ev. And thank you too. I know how much focus it takes when replacing russian words because I had to learn a few basics in russian in the days when my letters wouldn't get through to my family in Ukraine unless I wrote in russian... Ukrainian written ones would *never* arrive there... It took so many years for that to change, and thank God it did, and thankfully the internet meant we could converse in writing in Ukrainian. IT's my late Father's native tongue, Ukrainian. And even he was forced to speak russian in his youth:(
    CZcams may have linked algorithms to the word Ukraine in your pre-travel videos and stopped when you went travelling, do you think? I checked a few times after I noticed no notifications coming up for me, but I have always focused my viewing on Ukraine in CZcams, and music/nature/environment vids. I did see the you visiting your beautiful parents one, and revisiting your old stomping grounds, also a one where you visited that wonderfully ornate building (my memory fails me where you were then), but for me, as I have family and friends in Ukraine, my free time was me keeping more of a closer eye on Ukraine, obviously. Especially with the shortages of supplies coinciding with your travels, so don't take that personally))
    Thank you, Johnny, it could be useful to some people to get to know more about living in Ukraine; either renting or buying a property. I agree with you, more countries ought to make it easier for those who are contented with just having an affordable roof over their heads. Here in the UK, they used to have local authority housing (council houses), until the system changed and the government let those who'd been long-term residents have the 'Right to Buy' their council houses at a reduced price.
    The original idea was good, as local councils were intending to reinvest the profits into building new housing - but that never happened the way it was first intended. So now, apparently they have what they call 'social housing' or something(?) Housing associations and suchlike. But the main principles of those original council houses, was that when peoples' families grew up, left home, the council house tenants could just downsize by applying for a council-owned bungalow or apartment, ergo leaving their house for another new family to live in. Or they could do house exchanges if one grownup child left home & fewer bedrooms were needed by the remaining family.
    Such a shame as the UK now has a massive shortage of housing and a housing crisis. Many private rentals hike the rents up sky high, and local authorities (councils) pay out huge amounts in rent rebates, reducing the rent to an affordable level for tenants. Which I'm convinced just encourages buy-to-let property owners to raise rents up 'cos they know the local authorities will foot a large part of the bill.
    I'm currently a home owner, selling up, but I hate the idea that someone could buy it just to take advantage of desperate young families; starting out in life. It'd be interesting to hear more about how the system works in Ukraine for home buyers from abroad. I've seen a few videos from other countries, from people who've sold up and emigrated, bought abroad, but not in depth about the legal obligations, and the pros/cons of doing so, for places like Ukraine, Poland, and other similar nations.

      The territory of Ukraine is designed for 50-55 million people. Now about 30 million live here.After the war we will be able to gradually resettle around 10-15 million people from the EU and US with the growth of the construction market and the pace of economic recovery.

      @@Serge-ft5et Thank you for that info, Serge. I have family in Ukraine, and before the pandemic it was planned for us to meet for the first time ever; in Ukraine. Then war happened and they have said not to come yet. But I had wanted to see where my late Father grew up and lived, and who knows, maybe even look around while there, to see if I might be able to buy a house in lesser urban Ukraine.
      I expect many Ukrainian people will feel more able to return home once their territory has been cleared of invaders. I pray for this every day.
      Yes, I hear so many people online saying they want to come and help Ukraine to get back on her feet properly, and some wish to live in Ukraine. I look forward to the day when I can come and meet Ukraine!

If only you knew how much it meant to me when, after the war broke out and you and Bald left (understandably), you came back and made that hugely emotional video. I mean, man, the things you're doing here, in Ukraine, by merely filming the life and talking to people, are a lot more than many of us, locals, do. My respect to you, sir. I personally appreciate it very much. P.S.: I'd never know what an urban heat island is if not for you :)

    Johnny because you are there you should interview women who have served in combat in the Ukraine. The Ukraine may have the most women in combat since the Russians in WW2. Women like the Joan of Arc, Emerald, and many more have served in the front lines. Thanks

  • @living-wellon-less5669

    I don't see you being a target for a Russian hit, in fact going after you would most likely cause more problems for Russia than it would be worth! Yes you have done some fund raising for Ukraine not that it doesn't matter but in the grand scheme of things it is insignificant compared to the billions of dollars in military aid the US has provided! Your biggest contribution has been helping to keep your viewers informed where the media has dropped the ball!

    Thank you for answering all of these, this was very informative.
    You honestly are living my dream life and I'm trying to live a similar life.
    Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like Johnny's making around $4k a month, and has a retirement plan set up on top of that.
    That's helpful information. Johnny, do you think your current life is more expensive or less expensive than a nomad lifestyle living out of a suitcase?

    Johnny watched your Q&A and I enjoy your videos..Ive been following you and Subscribed since you where running around with "Bald". I even have a little crush on your sister, who wrote me a nice followup on one of my comments. Here is where you are wrong, and I will give you fact. Initially I was extreme for Ukraine, I travel and have a place in Germany and Miami. I know for a fact that Zelensky has not 1, but 3 luxury apts in Sunny Isles beach, skyrises. I am close with people who know this, i can even point to the building where his family skip off to retreat. There are so many Ukrainians hiding out in this area Miami, up North beachside to Hollywood Florida,and very lesser extent some Russians hiding, as they have to declare asylum vs. Ukrainians are considered refugees. Ton and tons of fancy cars, business's, Apts, expensive gym memberships, stripper/escorts, you name it, lots of shady young prople, all here in USA and have money, but no working papers, or job, to do so as its not cheap😮

    My only question would be: why are you still on good terms with Bald & Bakrupt since you are so pasionate about Ukraine politics, Russia doing the wrong thing, Nato etc? Bald has the opposite view on most of these points, why are you giving him a pass? Isnt that kind of hypocritictial when you are so pasionate about these subjects and one of your friends is the exact thing you keep speaking against? In one of your videos you even said "he means well" when he was literally spouting pro russia propaganda, and he was saying the west is the cause of every problem in the world and the bombing of Belgrade was unjust. Why are you so vocal but give your friend a pass?

    • @JohnnyFD
      @JohnnyFD  Před dnem

      If it wasn't for Bald, I wouldn't have half my audience that I have now. Which means, I wouldn't have been able to raise half the money, or spread the world to help Ukraine. He's contributed to helping, wayy more than he spouts anything negative since the war started.

    • @Elatenl
      @Elatenl Před dnem

      @@JohnnyFD He was extremely vocal on several ocassions about the west, andrew tate, russia, putin, donbass etc. Your comment still didnt explain how he gets a pass. Because he helped you gain your audience you can't call him out? Seems hypocritical. Saying he did more good than bad I would disagree with aswell since he spreads misinformation online towards his big audience. It will hurt Ukraines position. He also did other stuff like bl0ck nfkrz for no reason at all. It seems like you are afraid to call him out. There is no way you can support bald with the takes he has.

    • @JohnnyFD
      @JohnnyFD  Před dnem

      I know you don't want to hear this, but in the grand scope of things, Bald has done more positive for Ukraine than you have. That being said, I do disagree with many of his beliefs and have "called him out" and talked about it in past videos.

    I don't think Russia has time to deal with people whos against War in Ukraine, because let's be honest, 8/10 are against war. So Russia would not chase any of them as its just too many to chase. Just because you put videos on youtube, doesnt make you any bigger target( unless you tell everyday as solo topic how bad russia is, which is not the case as you mainly cover your life as topic ). I'm personally not on either side, but im realistic and know that Ukraine stands no chance ( if we look even on Russia impact on WW2 ) , Ofcourse its bad to see any country being at war, but if we look globally, Russia / Ukraine conflict is not only one thats active now, there are over 10 conflicts , just no one talks about other countries. Also its always very important to watch story from both sides. I watch Ukraines opinions and videos and i watch Russians, and i can clearly see so much BS going on on both sides.

      @@ginniemess i didnt say it does justify its aggression. I dont understand how people would want to take weapons in their hands ( no matter offensive or deffensive side) and fight just cause someone said so. No doubt Putin is brutal man, but same we can say about USA presidents who killed loads of people in iraq, afghanistan and so on. World we live in is terrible and sad that 1 person can be responsible for millions of people lives and just because he wants people have to and will take weapons in their hands and fight for some religion or territory. Im person who would just abandon territory and move to live somewhere quiet as i value my life way higher than some sort of ''passport'' or ''nationality''

      ​​@@SkintTVman, as a Ukrainian i could not simply agree more with you. I'd rather be a refugee anywhere in the world, than being kept in Ukraine during war, country that wants me to die on frontlines just because they think I owe it to defend it. Heck, I don't even wanna have anything in common with the country, not to mention fighting for it, but it's a pure slavery for men here, so nothing can be done, unfortunately.
      In Ukraine democracy and freedom left the chat since the war started
      And as for Johnny's safety here, well he is even safer here than in some rich ass neighborhoods in the US. Nobody is going to do anything to him, just because he hates russia, cuz everybody does, and he is not that popular too, russia doesn't care about people like him
