My name is Dan Castle I’m a Marine Corps Afghanistan war veteran. Out of curiosity I travelled to Siberia in 2022. Without any intentions of staying, I traveled around in Lake Baikal. I met my fiancé Ksenia in the city of Irkutsk.
I make travel, educational, and documentary style videos.

I have lived in Russia for almost 2 years, and I intend to continue documenting my stay in this great country. This is a non-political channel. I am a proud United States, Marine Corps veteran.
