Peter, ну ты в такой колорит попал, что даже нам, украинцам, удивительно на это смотреть))

[MsMarplekedvencei]

Dear Peter, I can't stop wondering about their lives now... I feel so sorry for them, and I hope they are all alive. God bless you all. Thank you for sharing this experience with the world. If we see other people's personal lives it might help to understand them better and see them as living beings instead of political questions.

[VladUSA]

Peter, you are amazing! Politicians divide countries, and people like you bring them close together!!!

Peter, I came across your channel and specifically the Ukrainian series. I dont usually leave comments but... these videos brought back a flood of memories. I am a 56 yr old married American, from Fargo, ND. Seven years ago (2014-15) I had the opportunity to live for a year in Kyiv (and travel some of Ukrainian). I arrived just a few months arrived from their overthrow of the corrupt govt. Initially very intense due to the conflict, lack of language knowledge, etc. What i came away with is EXACTLY what you speak of in this series... it was like I was back there again. I love the Ukrainian people, culture, and much of the simplicity of life. They know how to "live life" and i have life long friends. Although you probably wont see this post, i'd love to chat if it moves you todo so at some point. stay safe and enjoy your journeys!!

Hi Peter, thank you so much for sharing this amazing journey. I respect you for taking that bold step to go deep into a tiny village(when you could've gone to any city),  when you didn't speak the language. It says a lot about you man and you got my hat off:) Will be looking forward to more videos! I have been learning the language for 7 months hence my interest. Good luck with everything, you have a lovely host family.

Cool!!! Greatings from Ukraine! Very nice children, they are the best teachers!

[Ksuxa]

Питер, спасибо за желание, узнать Украину и украинцев получше! Добро пожаловать и всего самого хорошего! Отдельное спасибо, за очень добрые и позитивные видео!

[andrewd]

thank you for this and other videos about Ukraine
now I’m far from my home but these videos help me not to lose hope and to continue helping my people

[tanyatanu]

Okay, I am from Ukraine, but I never heard anyone eating snails there :)), not that this is not a thing in some villages.... Just surprised. Obviously the family is non-traditional Christians, which is cool, they are much more open-minded. It is great that you get to experience what Ukie village is like. I honestly miss it a lot, the slowing down of the time especially. I hope you have fabulous time there! I am sure you will be fine :D

[qwartal]

Класс! :-) Я из Беларуси, но смотрю каждое видео Питера из его путешествия по Украине.
Keep going on, man :-P

[scarlettpimpernel]

Watching these videos is making me smile....thank you Peter...

[alexandrvaschenko]

This amazing video makes me laugh think and cry.
It's good opportunity to look at yourself from the outside.

Thanks for this project!

[Eugenuine]

Very inspiring and kind video! Welcome to Ukraine!!

[Hardend]

i hope this family is safe and you can visit them again

[sapphirecamui]

Why do i like to see Americans living in the Old World? LOL I think it was a great idea to live with that family and interact with the youngest kids: as they learn their own language, they are also best teachers of their mother tongue. And i think it was a great self-confidence boost ;p The name of that street, Cherry, the Ukrainian word for cherry sounds like the Romanian word for "sour cherry."
I can definitely say that life/time slows down quite a bit in the countryside at least in the former Soviet countries. Did you still keep in touch with your host family? i hope they're safe.
I discovered your channel last week, and i like to watch videos from the oldest to the newest ones uploaded: the story is more coherent.

[Karkhut]

its so exciting to look on your unusual trip. after eastern Ukraine I suggest u to visit Odesa and countryside in western Ukraine, and Lviv ofcourse. Take care, Peter and best of luck =)

[LuDoFamily]

Ｉhave the same feeling like yours when I meet my Ukrainian family in law. They also live in small villages and not rich but the happiness I saw from between them! God I hope the whole world can see this pure heart of Ukrainian people instead of what the only image they can see like pollution, war, bad economy and marriage website, I enjoyed your series with smile on my face til the last episode. Good job, bless you and the family.

[darylcav]

I hope this family is ok and they survive the Russian invasion

[ilyanaalmasoud]

"And that's THE STORY"))) amazing episode Peter! Kudos to the great team! Thank you))
