Jan 4, 2026

Join me in my peaceful Russian Village, nestled deep in the stunning countryside. Immerse yourself in the off-grid lifestyle in the heart of rural russia, as we explore the natural bounty that surrounds us.

Join me as I forage for wild herbs and flowers, the secret ingredients for a delicious and unique tea, a tradition passed down through generations in our village. Back at home, we'll brew this special blend over a warm fire, filling the air with its calming aroma.
