About this video
I traveled to Russia to see what everyday life looks like in Moscow, one of the most talked-about cities in the world.
With strict sanctions, limited flights, no working bank cards, blocked social media, and almost no GPS, visiting Russia in 2026 is extremely challenging.
From the moment I landed, nothing was simple: no SIM card, no internet, and no easy way to even order a taxi. But once I finally reached the city, Moscow completely surprised me.
