Existential Crisis in Too Many Locations
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.

@marklewis298 yup I agree. She will find her way .
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. ❤
Egg cheese and butter in a bread bowl is my idea of heaven. Thank you for showing how beautiful Georgia is.

Love how you blur out people's faces: it's so considerate ❤
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!
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.

I’m in one too. Finding my way in a new season of life. Lacking motivation because, for once, I don’t have a plan or goal. But we will find our way.
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.

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

@@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 think perhaps, given all the changed and the war, relocation, trying to renovate a house, the birth of the baby, so much changes beyond your control is alot!!! Perhaps post partum depression can also set in anytime! We ❤️you and all your videos.
I have to say I enjoyed your old videos more; at home, cooking , shopping , and minimalism. Don’t be so hard on yourself; make it easy ❤️
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. :)
Georgia looks so beautiful. Those mountain views towards the end of your video were spectacular. Thanks for capturing these shots for us all to see. Sending love from Scotland 💓

Those mountains reminded me of Scotland! Beautiful.
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.
Oh Victoria its always nice to hear from you. Its sounds lile your feeling depressed. Monitor yourself and if it gets worse or lasts longer than 6 weeks , see a Dr. Your video is fantastic. Big hugs fr Canada.

I think she is just tired more than depressed. she is a busy lady. but good advice if it continues.
That is a lot of traveling and continued major life changes! It's no wonder you were exhausted. Glad you finally got some rest. Georgia really is a beautiful country.
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.

Yes, Agreed Real life sounds are so much better than canned music.
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.

You make some beautiful videos. They are sometimes very artful. I hope you continue to find some rest so you can continue to embrace your passion. ❤

So wonderful to see a video from you! Glad you had some time to think and reflect in a beautiful location. That mountain place to stay looks wonderful! Thank you so much for showing us! God bless you and your lovely family. ❤ 👋
Well now I feel that I must visit Georgia ... I have travelled extensively but never to that beautiful place. You photography, videography and narration is perfect.
Bitumi is stunning. Thank you for sharing. Always love your videos, no matter what you're up to. Makes me miss when my (now grown with kids of their own), kids were young.
Im so happy you are all okay. I would love to see you back to the basics. The home life, the cooking, the decluttering and such. All that you really helped others with and seemed to love. ❤❤
Georgia is breathtaking. I am glad you shared so much of it with us. One day you will be happy you recorded this (and included yourself!) because these are precious moments that you and your kids will be able to look back on. Not that it’s necessary to record everything! But as someone who rarely photographs myself or what I have been doing, I have forgotten a lot of things.
Very beautiful. I love your videos. You travel to such incredible places. And you take me along with your precious family. Thank you.❤❤ The little ones are getting so big.
Beautiful family! Always so interesting to see your view of the world!
A friend once told me that having a second child is like going from 1 child to 3. Triple the work. A big life change. You are also renovating and moving your household. Very stressful. You will get your mojo back when this all settles down. Thank you for this beautiful video. Georgia is a beautiful country. We are just happy to see your face and hear your thoughts. ❤
Wow! What a beautiful country! Thanks to you and your videos I have discovered a wonderful new world, so far from my native South America. Agatha hugging a tree gives me hope for the future❤🕊🌟 Thank you for sharing beauty and hope 🙏
Into every life, some rain must fall! Good luck to you Victoria and your beautiful family!
Such beautiful scenery!
Glad you got some rest after all that fun and moving again, Vika. Blessed be. 💖
We love you and we want you to post whatever makes you happy!!!! Please do not feel pressured to release super complicated content. Your life is really amazing and the fact that you have allowed us the opportunity to take a glimpse is truly a blessing!!!! I will forever watch ❤❤ Take your time and do what makes you happiest❤❤
Nice to hear from you. What happened to the house you were fixing up?
Beautiful video! Just edit when you have time. Take breaks when you need them! You have been very busy! Hope you enjoy your new apartment! God bless you and your precious family! ❤🙏
Absolutely GORGEOUS scenery! Thank you so much for sharing your trip with us, I feel like I've had my own little mini-vacation. We had to move a lot when the children were small, not for the reason that's behind your situation though. Still, moving and traveling and moving and traveling and moving and traveling and moving and traveling is exhausting. I'm glad you're taking some time for yourself. You are a great mom, it shows in the way your babies are at such ease.
What gorgeous scenery!
I always enjoy your videos... I love the view of the beautiful Mtns that you all woke up to....
Love watching you and your family. My morning dose of calm!!
Nice to see you here again! What a beautiful city. Thank you for sharing.😊❤
I'm so confused... I thought you were building a life and renovating an old farmhouse... maybe I haven't kept up... the super swift changes in your lives in the past few years have been absolutely jaw dropping... and Amaaaazing how you handled it all, gurrrrrl u set an * International Standard* that ABSOLUTELY CANNOT BE IGNORED! 🤗

Thanks for showing us how beautiful Georgia is and seeing your beautiful family you need to take care of yourself and can’t believe how quickly the children are growing really enjoy the wonderful videos you make 👏🏻👏🏻❤❤
Beautiful areas you visited. Glad that you were able to experience it all and then relive the enjoyment while editing, when it felt like a proper time for you. It's good to analyze your filming work, as you're doing, to understand the areas you may want to focus on more. Take care!
It is Autumn in the state of Missouri, USA. The weather has cooled down and has been if rainy. I have started making comfort food like casseroles and soups and homemade breads. I’m grateful to see your family and how you are doing in this new area of your life.🌷
Finally a new video, i waited that very much. And what a beautiful video, i adore Batumi❤️ It’s on my bucket-list. Thank you showing it😌 I love your videos very much so please come more often- if your battery allows it🥰
Vika, your videos always brings me rays of joy and inspiration! Thank you for your great work and wish you and your family all the best!😊❤
Glad you are feeling energized and were able to show such a beautiful place with us!
Loved hearing your thoughts, loved seeing these images. Your vlogs are just always amazing, you don't have to try at all. I don't know how you find the energy for all the moving and hosting with so many guests and two small kids; I salute you!
Thank you for taking us on your travels ❤
Your energy is so pure and refreshing ❤️
You do such a nice job with these videos, your love and creativity shows ❤
Vika!!! Such a wonderful video! We see you and Tolya, along with Agata and Adeline and so many beautiful views of your road trip. But also we have your always authentic reflections about yourself and everything happening around you. Thank you for sharing that dear Vika, as you can see this resonates with so many people. Miss you!
Beautiful- thank you for sharing. Give yourself grace. You and your family have been through so much in the past two years.🌹❤️
Really beautiful scenery! Thank you for sharing!
Yay! I am happy to see you all are well. Such beautiful views. Thank you ❤🌻🥰
Really missed your videos. I am happy that you took time to relax and decompress. I will be thrilled to follow your new adventures when you have an opportunity to share! Prayers for you and your family. 🙏🏽
So glad to see you again. Georgia is a beautiful country. Thanks for showing us your beautiful country. Hope your house is coming along and you will soon be there and settled in.
What beautiful and interesting footage! I have read about people traveling around Svaneti but wonderful to see real video material and how beautiful it is there. It's always nice to see your posts pop up but you're a busy mother and hostess to your friends, so I'm sure you need a break sometimes!!
I love your videos Viktoria. The only videos I enjoy waiting for.
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your trip around Georgia. Mountains are stunningly beautiful 😊
Just thank you for sharing your life with us. Your honesty is refreshing and your videos make us feel peaceful.
Thank you for helping us recharge with the glorious mountain views. I could almost feel the fresh air.
Wow, beautiful country! Thank you for sharing your trip with us.
Good to see your vlog! Life gets pretty busy with 2 children and entertaining. The scenery is beautiful. God Bless
So nice to see you and your beautiful family. Nice travels. Stay safe and have fun together.
Love the landscape you showed us. Really beautiful. Thanks for your effort and work.
Lovely video Victoria! It’s always nice to see what you and your hubby and the girls are doing. Thank you for sharing it with us. 🍂🍁🍂
Excellent camera work, Vika, especially the nature and mountain scenes. You live in a beautiful part of the world.
Absolutely stunning part of the world Vika. I really love your travel videos because I get to see places that I will probably never get to visit and also learn of places I never knew existed. Most photographers don't like to be in front of the lens. Your video skills are improving all the time and will only get better and better. Your girls are growing up so fast.
Currently watching this while having a complete burn out. Sending love to you and your family ❤
Aw little Agatha has grown so much ❤❤
Thank you for the beautiful photos of your family and Georgia. You needed to take a well deserved break to enjoy a more tranquil and peaceful time. All the moving was probably taking its toll. I'm glad to see you and your family again, May God bless and keep you 🙏 ❤️
It is so wonderful to see you again, Vika! The girls are getting so big! I cannot believe how big Adelaide is now! I know you’re very busy during these times, so it makes sense that you haven’t posted very many things over the summer. I really don’t even know how you do it being a mom and a wife because it’s a lot of work editing videos!😀 regardless, I’m so happy to see you again! Much love from the great lakes US! 💚🩵💛

Wow, what a beautiful place! The mountain cabin had stunning views. I am glad you turned off your camera and just enjoyed it with your family. You deserve some peace and quiet and togetherness.
I love whatever you share, Vika. Especially if its about the places you go to, or just simple monologues about your day and how you're feeling. I can understand the "existential crisis" you're undergoing since for someone much younger than I am, you've been through so much. Just go with the flow of your psyche as well as flow of the lives of those who love you and live with you: in the first place, Tolya, Agatha and Adeline. Keep well!
Such a beautiful place❤ I love following your travels and seeing your girls growing. What a rich time❤
Miss you !! Glad to see your back!
Enjoy your vacation or trip.
Loved the video V! You are amazing on every single way❤
I remember visiting Georgia & Armenia a few years back, thanks for bringing us along. Vlogging can be mentally exhausting, allow yourself to rest when you need to. I appreciate how transparent you are with your audience. Much love!
Glad to see another video from you and family. I like your style. Wish you the best.

Beautiful city and views ❤ i love watching your videos. You dont have to overthink your content, i think most of people here enjoy watching the simpliest things like shopping etc 😊
Beautiful scenery! You are truly blessed being able to travel. I'd imagine that sometimes recording so much of your daily life for us viewers is turning into a chore. Good for you that you decided to step back and have a "real" vacation. We'll be patiently waiting, until you're ready for another video..
Vika--Life is stressful enough. This is your release valve. I follow you and a few others because you visit places that I cannot--even if it's your nearby park, it is NOT near me. It is something new and beautiful to view. I sighed out loud when I saw that rushing water. And those mountains!!! What a thrill to have stayed where you did. To be honest, even watching Toyla doing the renovation, speaking your native language, all of it--I love it all! 😊❤❤❤❤
