She has actually obtained success extremely quick, I can not be a little jealous of her, though the quality of her videos are much above mine as well as above a lot of youtuber's. I have actually been blogging in Russia for over 4 years but the youtube algorithm has actually not been as kind to me as it has actually been to her. I can see that you are interested about Russia. Can I ask you, to critique my channel and explain what is required and how I can create better videos?

Your determination to reach the summit of Mt. Elbrus is a manifestation of how strong willed person you are. I hope you continue your vlogs because it has a very positive effects on a lot of people of different nationalities like me. I'm from the Philippines now living in California.

I don't know whether they went up the North or the South routes so I will ask them when I next see them (we often going camping together). I know that she sometimes suffers altitude sickness but sometimes she does not (it seems very random) but her husband mostly feels OK. I am sure you must feel very proud of your successful climb.
