  • Super Girl is a red head! Wow, Eli, as I watched you bathing in the cold river I was shivering in my chair. Your Mongolia films are incredible. Well done and thank you for sharing with us around the world. You are one of the best travel video makers on YouTube.
  • As a Vietnamese 🇻🇳 Buddhist, I appreciate the great effort for Eli to go to such remote place in Mongolia 🇲🇳 in such extreme cold 🥶 weather, just to show us viewers the almost forgotten monastery. Eli, may Lord Buddha bless your travel journey whatever you go in Russia 🇷🇺 & elsewhere in the world🙏🙏

    Eli continues to try to turn herself into an icecube --- It doesn't seem to hurt her --- I enjoy Eli's videos that show us distant places that I will probably never visit ))
  • @juanalejandrogc
    One of the incredible thing about Elina is her capacity to do something new every time, and with a different touch; she was born to communicate.
  • @NoVista14
    Thank you Eli for your documentary from Mongolia 🇲🇳. I am really longing for your reportages.
  • Eli: The narratives and photography describing the salient aspects of the places you travel to truly distinguish you as an accomplished travel documentary filmmaker.
  • @paty_lnunes
    Eli, you just went EXTREME. I couldn´t believe how comfortable you were inside that water. Feeling cold just watching here from Brazil.
  • @arletta100ify
    You "chilled" in the waters as if you were in a jacuzzi. Very hearty abilities, El's. 💯💙🏄‍♀
  • @duanehennon9415
    beautiful The best travel show on the web. Who else would bring a swim suit to Mongolia in the winter.
  • @aizhongwen
    Strong healthy Eli, taking a bath in icey river. Fans would not survive this freezing cold. God bless you with perfect cold resistance.

    6:23 The tent looks like a work of genius too. Modern technology for a quick set-up and takedown structure. In 1912 when my grandfather was doing surveyor work in Montana through the winter, it could get down to -50 Fahrenheit before wind chill. My grandmother said that to keep a household going and keep two babies alive, even with a heated stove tent, they had to keep quilt blankets for flooring about 8 inches thick.
  • @BAROTIKI
    Eli is just a very special person : I have not seen anybody else granting us such interesting and enriching vlogs on Russia here on utube, period!
    Plus she puts great editing work in her uploads, the sounxtrack is always dope.
    OMG, I have such a crush on the woman... to cry for... tears of joy 🤗
  • @czamman
    I was really impressed when your guide walked into that river. Really impressed until Eli got in and stayed in, like it was a swimming pool. Thanks Eli
  • @PenZa333

  • @bertanelson8062
    I also have loved to dip in cold water & to run around barefoot in the snow. I see that you are becoming adapted to the icy dips since you joined the Walrus group. I love traveling the remote places in Russia with you. Please continue travels in your homeland, you have much to be proud of & you are excellent at this!
