Eli, your mum is so beautiful...inside and out. I love the fact she travels with you. She gives perspectives on life when she was young. This is why I love channels like yours and other content creators. As an American, I can learn about other countries' history, cultures and traditions while in my home. Russia has a rich history ➡ from Russia with love❤.

Мы с дочерью (11 лет) мечтали побывать в России. Нам нравятся ваши видео. Она изучает английский и русский языки. Это страна с невероятной культурой и историей! Из Бразилии мы желаем вам всего наилучшего.

Adding your mom to your video, I think it's fantastic! Through your mom's recollection, we get to know more about you Eli and it sounds like you have many plans in life but ultimately, you become who you are today - carving your own path.

How neat and tidy everything looks! I recall another YouTuber who lives in St Petersburg showing the audience around the city and I marvelled at how clean it is. Beautiful architecture, pride in community, lovely people. Amazing, Eli--thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your country with us.
