You are absolutely right about saying you have a boyfriend/husband, and not revealing any personal details. Also always say you’re visiting a friend not going to your own home. And there’s always the strategy of calling someone on your phone and talk to them like they’re the ones expecting you, tell them “we’re almost there” - set up a friend who knows this technique that you can call. Stay safe Natasha!! ❤

I agree with what you say. I'm glad nothing worse happened with that taxi driver. Could easily go south if he decides to venture off into a neighborhood with poor cellphone reception and shady streets where everyone looks the other way.

Love the city tour of Tbilisi, the good, the bad, the ugly! It's a shame that like much of the post-Soviet territories, many parts of the capital have seen better days. Those "zoomed-in" shots showed some great attention to details like the random tire on the street and cat hiding behind the wall. So disgusted by the experience with that driver! Great handling of that situation, please take care. Despite of that you seem to be happier than last year. Always nice to see Zack, we've been missing him on YT. Good luck with the adventures to Uzbekistan. And finally, another name suggestion for the pigeon - "Hope".

The tire on the street was most likely someone attempting to save their parking spot. I worked in a small town in Pennsylvania and people would put kitchen chairs where their cars had been, after digging their cars out from the previous night's snowfall.

I find myself laughing out loud at your dry and sometimes sarcastic sense of humor. Thank you, you're wonderful!

As an old grandfather, I will give you some unsolicited advice. Live life in such a way as to make wonderful memories, loyal friends, and good dreams. Good luck in your adventures.

I'm so glad things are going well for you. Don't ever be afraid to leave a situation if you feel unsafe (or even if you just get a bad feeling - these are often correct) - you can even just get out of a cab at a red light if you need to and get another one.

Thanks for sharing a “real” tour (not glamourized, just real” of your new home. It’s fascinating for someone like me who’s never travelled to see such different places. Glad things are going well and as always, stay safe Natasha. Well wishes from Canada.

You wouldn't vote for Navalny, but you don't want to send him to prison. What a concept! I wish there were more people like you.

i love how you shot this video -- you notice and capture all the tiniest of details, things I also notice when I'm out and about -- GOOD JOB!!

I love when you put random chaotic situations in the video. Always hillarious.

You have such a great eye. You film the small things that really give the viewer a sense of the place in a way that most people making videos miss. I feel like I just took a walk through the streets of Tbilisi, looking at the dogs and the buildings and the broken pavement.

I've always liked your eye for rubbish and random things, you see beauty and humor in everything, that is a gift

I love the pigeon in between the shots! 🐦😂 Be careful walking next to crumbling buildings. A woman here was seriously injured by a falling piece of facade from a building. Really dangerous. It's too bad you had that bad taxi experience but I'm glad you are enjoying your new life in Georgia! 😊🌈

I am so happy for you! Making money, nice house and new friends. Your resilience is truly inspiring. If you were my granddaughter, I would brag about you to everyone I know! Keep on chasing your dreams.

Thank you for showing beautiful Georgia. I find the contrasts really interesting to see; expensive cars in areas with decrepit buildings, colourful markets and dust/mud on everything. It makes a wonderful world to walk around. Call me weird but I enjoy seeing the streets of the common people and where they do their groceries. - I’m sorry to hear about that cab driver and I’m glad you came out unscathed. You are very strong for coming up for yourself and reporting him. Much respect. Best regards from the Netherlands.

Just doing nothing really, walking around and noticing small things and passing the day. My favorite kind of Natasha video. It reminds me of when my kids were small and we went on long meandering walks.

Btw, as a local, I would advise using Bolt more oftern than Yandex. First, the chance of running into such a jerk as you discribed is smaller, because Bolt has a stricter policy against pushy drivers. And, no less important, Yandex is a state-run Russian company and by using it you inadvertently support the Russian state - that very repressive state you left (and did a very good thing). Cheers :)

I would love to see an entire video on grocery stores. Whenever I travel, I always check out the grocery stores as I think they give a good picture of how the local people live.

The Caucasus region is still on my bucket list of countries to visit. When I was first trying to learn Russian, I watched an old movie called Kavkaskaya Plenitsa with the character Shurik. That cheese reminds me of the white table cheese, we get here in Panama. The Panamanian white cheese stinks like sweaty feet, but taste great in cheese empanadas. The coffee Coke is gross. I tried it in The Netherlands.

Nothing bad will happen on your interesting life travels, as you are a positive smart soul who will always politely guide any uncomfortable encounter towards a mutual calmness. Remain adventurous, friendly, confident in yourself, the world is yours, we will follow you on your travels.
