I Took an EXTREME RUSSIAN BATH and I Lost My Mind

In the city of Novosibirsk, I walked into a traditional Russian bathhouse (called a banya), and I was greeted by a giant man named Herman. Herman ordered me to take off all my clothes and enter a 160-degree sauna (70C). I was then beaten by thorny Russian birch trees as well as a thick wooden stick. Then, I went outside to get an ice-cold bucket of water was poured on my head. The Russian banya experience took me back to the time when I did a Turkish bath, but this one was more intense! I absolutely love doing these activities - it’s the reason why I love traveling - to experience new cultures and learn about how other people spend their days. And truth be told, I felt very clean and relaxed after this bath — despite the pain that I went through! ANNOUNCEMENT!

All content was filmed a month before Russia invaded Ukraine, so it comes with a very heavy heart. I decided to share these videos because I strongly believe that the Russian people are NOT a representation on their crazy, evil dictator. Please keep our friends and loved ones in Ukraine in your thoughts. It is absolutely horrible what they are going through, and I hope that this war ends soon. Thanks for watching.
