It is my dream to travel on Trans-Siberian railway! I want to get lost forever in the far east Russian wilderness. I love Russia so much!

Estuve en Rusia. So pretexto del Mundial de fútbol el año pasado... En realidad quería conocer el País y practicar mis idiomas... Me fascinó Rusia... todo lo que aprecie superó mis expectativas.. Un País milenario cuya historia ha marcado la marcha de la humanidad... Para la visión de un Latinoamericano como yo... todo es novedoso... Lo que vi y la buena actitud de los nacionales hacia los extranjeros terminaron por enamorarme del País... Hoy aprendo el idioma a través de las clases que desinteresadamente brindan ciudadanas y ciudadanos Rusos a través de YouTube, mayormente en Inglés... Me gusta el idioma, la cultura, la geografía. Y planeo regresar el próximo verano para tomar un viaje en el ferrocarril TRANSIBERIANO.. haciendo escala en las ciudades más connotadas del trayecto....

Went  from Khabarovsk to Irkutsk on Train no 2 in 1986...coaches not as posh as these but comfortable 'soft' class nonetheless....cut off from the 'locals' by the restaurant car. A gulag prisoner out on licence was peeling spuds for the total duration we were on the train. Cups of tea 24/7 and old ladies filling the water tanks at various stations. And, lady loco drivers too. Magic trip. Wish I could afford to go all the way and back again! :)

[SaqisVlog]

I don't know about hot water . I travelled in exactly the same rail carriage and it had hot water. Can be CBC shenanigans again.

I am from 🇮🇳India and i like this journey

[abbeystump]

Still a great train journey. Has had big upgrades over Covid. Showers and more comfy cabins. For even more experience try the BAM line . ❤

[bjornstenvall]

Been there. Seen that! Was fantastic. Mostly because of a lovely local guide...my wife that is! I am from Finland and we live here in Helsinki.

[Slycarlo]

[shaggymason]

This would be really cool to go on I would love to go to Russia and learn more about their culture greetings from the United States! 🇺🇸

There's no shower!? Okay, I'm a huge train buff and as much as I would LOVE to do this, that's a major deal breaker for me :/

в 2018 отправлюсь из Петропавловска через Владик на поезде - очень возбудило

[gerritduplessis]

!!!! INCREDIBLE!! YOW!! THANK YOU!! BLESSINGS!

[Jackthesmilingblack]

I took this train from London to Yokohama in October 1970.
Has anyone done this journey in the 1970s? Because I'm frequently told that this train wasn't operating in the 1970s, and further that no Brit couldn't travel across Russia during this period. Please help me nail this lie.

Great video!!! I want to travel with my daughter when she turns 16. We may make this a summer adventure.

[LivingWalks]

Thanks for sharing your insightful and well filmed video. We film natural sound and sight go pro walks too so it's really good to have others guiding me through a journey I would love one day to go on. I've subscribed and look forward to seeing more.

So so dreamt from young age of travelling on this train, it would have been totally adventurous in the USSR days all mysterious and romantic..
