The difference between US and EU food is many US products and ingredients are banned in the EU.

As an American, I always find it mildly disconcerting when I hear people from other countries describe their need for a passport *within* their home nation. I get that a passport can be used as a valid form of ID as needed. But in the US, many Americans live their entire lives without ever having a passport issued if they never travel abroad. A state-issued driver's license or other form of photo ID is usually enough to do anything official here.

I enjoyed your video Dari l know that moving out and packing into storage can be quite stressing l found that with my late mother’s stuff when she moved out to a retirement home too many stuff you want to keep or gave away to a charity shop , l don’t think l could it if l move away.Last bit in the video the sandwich in the cafe that ham l think it’s Mortadella my favourite Italian ham . Looking forward to your next video how old is your dog now?

Hi Dari Glad you enjoyed the ballet, unlike the LAST "ballet" you saw. I'm glad you enjoyed your last days in the US, and glad you found a storage space. That was such a relief you found your passport documents. Hope your Eurotrip is just as wonderful as you had here. Don't worry too much about an apartment. I'm sure it'll work out for you. Have a great time visiting home, and hope your visa process is quick and timely. Great video, Dari Cheers 👋😄

Yes I loved this blog. As usual you show us all your emotions at a hard time for you. Must be tough moving all over again after a long settled time. Anyway you made it to see your doggy so well done. Loved your yellow dress, you looked great wearing it. Always impressed with your cooking too but you will miss your new friends for a while. Hope your work in Portugal goes really well so you can enjoy life there a lot.

Why didn’t you keep your apartment? You’re coming back in a couple of months it would have saved you a lot of stress. So what if it cost more money you’re young it’s not like you’re in your 60s. If I had my way I would not have let you give up that apartment. Btw I’m in Ohio it’s pouring down rain,thunder has been real loud I think God is out here bowling 😀

Aw dari this is so bittersweet!! I empathise with how mixed the feelings would be. It seemed like such an amazing experience! Sending love <3

Your Mum must be very proud of you Dari ❤

More feet shots please

Hi Dasha. Greetings from Dallas, Texas. I myself in the in the process of moving to Moscow. Note: I lived there 2008 to 2014.

Moving is rough. I’ve made a number of moves across the United States and the work and logistics involved can feel overwhelming. You can’t help but get emotional over it. Glad you made it home, safe and sound. Enjoy your time among family and friends, and enjoy your summer in Europe. Don’t get too anxious about having to find a new apartment in NYC in August. Just take it as it comes and enjoy your current adventures.

You are amazing! Bon voyage and have a beautiful summer!

My wife needs to go to Moscow, yet since July 1st, we can not exchange the US dollar for the Russian Ruble because of the Russian counter-sanction against the confiscation of Russian assets in the EU. A credit card issued in Japan doesn't work because of the sanction, thus she needs to bring Chinese Yuan.

Living and learning 👍

Very happy Dari to see that everything went well in the Usa and naturally also your uni studies. I think you''ll find another nice flat in New York! Wish you to spend some wonderful days in Europe and in Russia, too. Wish you all the best Greetings from Italy💕🌷⚘️🪻

Thanks for sharing!

Too many moves in my life and the first few were stressful. Then I learned to buy a U-Haul truck and car carrier and even pay people to pack and unpack my stuff or to get a few friends to help pack. First to Warren, OH area of Ohio then to Canton area of Ohio then to Cleveland then to Milwaukee, WI then New Castle, PA and then back to Cleveland then to Ft Wayne, IN and then finally to the Marysville area of Ohio to get married. I have been here the longest of anywhere in my life because my wife won't leave her daughter. We did move to Oklahoma for about 3 years but then right back to our house in Ohio that we never sold. ( we rented it to our daughter. At the same time she needed to move out we just happened to need to move in) After so many moves you become numb to moving and leaving friends and acquantances. Not exactly the way to become in your emotions as it is worse in some ways than becoming emotional about a move. It does make you a resilant person who can make new friends easily and adapt to new places. Seemingly, moving from place to place has become part of modern life as life has become unstable. I am not the only person to move so many times in a life time , especially if a person is in a technical profession. Life is a journey, not a destination. What counts is how well you travel the journey, what kind of person you become & how you treat others. Always remember that on your death bed you are not going to bemoan the fact that you did not spend enough time at work to get a few extra dollars or the fact that you kept in contact with all the people you met along your journey. If anything you will regret not keeping in contact with the people you met along the way.

Thanks!

Yeah I know how that feels. All of this video. Nije dobro 💔💔💔. Anyway, wish you all the best.

Be careful flying on russian sanctioned planes lots of accodents happenning.

It is always better to sellout heavy items and carry cash, instead hiring a storage. 80% of people will never comeback and claim 😂

Well, you tried the nice, expensive life in NYC. You see why you need your job after you get your masters degree. You should have come to our smaller cities. The school is just as good, everything would have been cheaper.

I'm actually at Niagara Falls right now as I write this message. I was inspired to go by your visit earlier this year, so thanks! Best wishes to your family and Lucky

You got it done theirs a lot to take in I read one time that moving is one of the most stressful things they said on par with getting divorce even probably little harder when new York is so nice this time of year but Moscow allso looks like amazing weather and you get to baby boy so hoping all is better and look forward to seeing you from Russia and Portugal

Your honesty is one of the reasons we all keep coming back, Dari. I'm glad you got back safely, but hate that you went through the emotional roller coaster 🎢 that you did. Know you can always reach out for people that will gladly listen and support you in whatever ways we can. You're going to have a great summer and you'll get a great apartment when you get back to NYC. Good things happen to good people, so for you, amazing lies ahead. 😊

Hi Dasha, you have my thumbs up and here is my comment: You win the record for packing the most emotion into one vlog! Finishing things and moving out is super bittersweet and heart-rending and I can truly relate as I can still remember my last days in University. After four years, saying bye to your friends with whom you shared a special bond of common experiences was so enotional. You do such an amazing job communicating this. I'm so sorry you have to go through so much stress on so many levels and thank goodness for great friends by your side! Sorry your Amazon package for your friend was stolen, sorry you almost misplaced your passport with little time left before departure - that must have put you under so much duress. And I know it is extremely difficult to find housing in the heart of NYC! You have done an incredible job thus far and I hope and pray for your best in all things from here on out.

Good luck. You work so hard all the time. I, we, know you will succeed. Have a great time with family, friends and of course with your dog.

Thanks Dari. You’re a keen traveller who enjoys architecture and learning. Your interest in the historical aspects and the many museum’s is a great way to get introduced. Thanks for this little introduction to Philadelphia. It could encourage us to have a closer look.

Did you all lose your deposit since you moved out before lease end?

So glad you found your passport

Gorgeous noggis!

You just reminded me of the time when I had such good roommates and such a great apartment and the nicest people and we all had to move out. We didn't really but the oldest ones they wanted to live like grown ups for a change and stop living like students. I had three roommates the second year the first year I had four roommates. We had one bathroom. It was a long walk to get to the bus but it was a nice neighborhood which I probably never actually saw. And I learned that the streets and the sidewalks are sort of tilty. When the rain falls and it turns to ice on the sidewalk you just slide sideways and you try to hold on to the bushes so that you won't fall down. It's nice you have storage. My brother has storage. In addition to everything else that's in the house and in the front yard and on the back porch and in the living room and in the garage and in his bedroom. He also has storage. I think he has furniture. In his room he has a desk and a chair and a bed and there's a shelf but some of that stuff is mine or Dennis's and a filing cabinet which is also mine. Dennis got a lot of stuff in his room. We just pretend that it's New York and we build up. Shelves tall bookcases. Up. You reminded me of something else but I already forgot. Oh well. Dog food I'm sure it had something to do with the dog food. Oh I remember! Your dog is still alive! That's so good. One of my ducks died last October. She was nine. It's okay. The next day after we buried her, I heard little peeping noises and there were ducklings. I didn't expect ducklings. All of our eggs did not hatch. We threw away so many nests and then one duck in the corner had babies. So tiny and so cute. And at such an inconvenient time. But my brother helped a little. And Dennis was on vacation. But he got home the day after.

The last time I moved, I had lived in the apartment for 13 years. Everything before that was one year or two years the maximum was 2 years and 4 months and then all of a sudden 13 years. Do you know how much stuff I had? It took forever to pack it and it was a good thing I worked at a moving company. A friend of mine came over and helped me just throw away years and years worth of TV guides which somebody probably would have wanted if I had had time to put them on eBay or something but I didn't have time and I'm not good at selling things. Never know about prices. Anyway we just put them in trash bags and put them on the sidewalk because we could do that then and my salesman at the moving company he drove past my house and he saw all the bags and he said that it was like 500 lbs. It wasn't all TV guides. I'm sure there were other things. But I don't remember and I don't miss them. And now I have even more things because now I have been living in this house for 23 years!? Even the house I grew up in was only 16 years. We moved a lot when I was little and then my brother was born and lived in the same house until he was 16. And yes it's really sad to leave. It was sad to leave that place and I had to leave my friends Well whichever friends I had left. Maybe three or four. But there was a lot of stuff going on. It was a good idea mostly. And now I have a roommate - the guy who helped me throw out all the TV guides, and another roommate that's my brother, because his landlord sold his house and here we are again. Except that we are 30 or 40 years older than the last time. And I haven't finished watching the video. But you reminded me of the last time I moved. And not only that but I have stuff in boxes in the garage that haven't been taken out in 20 years and I have my silverware that I can't get at and I finally figured out the name of it and so my brother just went on eBay and bought some more. But there are some things in the garage that I would like to get out but I can't because all my boxes are in there and then all of his stuff is in front of it. And then there's bins in my bedroom that were supposed to be sorted out but they weren't. So many things that never got organized although when Dennis moved in he wanted to organize things but I was busy... And now it's hot and he's busy and we have his things my things and Jay's things and leftover furniture and things from my mother and somewhere - I think I finally found some of the things from my mother in a bin on the back porch so at least they're not soaked. My brother has so much junk. And I have less but still a lot and Dennis has less than that and he's more organized but I'm number two. And on top of all of my things I have dust. Hooray. Oh well. We have a nice little backyard and I think it's just the right size. It's not enormous it's not tiny and it's flat. Back home our yard was on a hill. And for the first several years that I lived here I didn't even go outside in the backyard but now I have ducks so I have to go outside. My father was always trying to get me to go outside. He should have gotten me some ducks. They're cheap when they're babies. And then you have to feed them. And clean up after them. They're so pretty. The first batch was more friendly but the second batch is more pretty. And Colette She likes to bite me. The other ones when I come out the door they just come up to me and they look at me like do you have food? I'm going to watch more video now

I can relate to your stress, as someone who used to move around a lot. If you're not in a clear state of mind, sometimes other bad things start to happen because we're not focused. Sometimes it's best to just relax, and take things one step at time. You will see, things will get better, because in life, they usually always do. Good luck on your travels!

Dari, I know you’re sad to be leaving your apartment and the US for a while. But you’ll have a great time this summer and will be back in the fall for more adventures. And we’ll be here waiting and happy you’re back. Sure you’ll find a good new apartment in the fall. Bon voyage, and until then 👍🏻 PS Feast of Corpus Christi June 16&19 & Nativity of Saint John the Baptist June 24.

👍💐🙂

You are very strong and very beautiful. Respect.

Dari, My eyes were watering after seeing what you cooked. I look forward to the future streams. Please take care of yourself and be safe!

It was so nice to see you reunited with your baby boy. And you thought you might not ever see him again. Stay safe and best wishes.

I just moved myself back in April after living for 20 years in another location, so I feel for you. Moving is a colossal pain in the butt. Rest and recuperate this summer. We all look forward to your future adventures. 😘

As a life long Nyoker upper east side Manhattan...and older about to retire...New York city is gone. I lived the great greed is good era of the 80's but I believe it all died in the mid 2000's. The 1970's were rough to but I was young and didn't have anything to compare it to. I'm going to move to Italy in a few years......America itself isn't recognizable to me anymore....its getting to be one giant strip club. There is the facade of if ..but its just everyone is trying to get at your money.

Do you think you would move to the States and live there permanently or would you miss your home in Russia too much?

my greatest fear is misplacing my passport - I was freaking with you -

Hey Dari, First of all I'd like to say thanks for vlogging your experiences, it's captivated me to watch your journey from the lowest of lows to the highest of highs. I've seen your personality develop from the adventures and it's be such a ride! I know this is only a pit-stop for you on over there, but can't wait to see the Euro-lifestyle summer vids, and then can't wait for you to come back home, where you feel most at home!

Dari, moving places is always stressful, especially when you’ve been in one place for a while. It’s always fascinating how much one can accumulate “junk” in a short period of time. Sending you good vibes for your next abode hunt! 🍀

That sandwich would be two meals for me as well Dari. It's huge! 🥪

🥥

🩰 Your pasta meal looks really interesting,I will try it 😊 Good luck Darli.

Did you check if any of your friends are looking for a new apartment to room with? Or maybe someone needs a new person for someone who mived out? I would spread the word for all your friends to ask their friends to consider you. Alot of great apartments are found through friends, contacts, word of mouth. This way the other roommates could do the initial review and send you the final picks to help decide. Enjoy your summer🌞☀️🌞

Damn you have the best videos , that was amazing . All I can say is that somehow, don't know how but things always work out for you. Same thing happens to me . We have the same luck. Sorry about the stolen gift . I hate people that steal. I always have Amazon deliver to a drop box now and it's worked out. I also do the free delivery and 9 times out of 10 it shows up early. Have fun in Russia . I think it's around that time when we should all buy you some coffee.
