Beautiful Photos Of Lviv

Lviv is commonly known as the cultural capital of Ukraine, and it is the city in which I live. I love this city, and even though I travel all over the world, I’m always happy to be home.

What Is The Deal With Sushi In Ukraine

Anyone who has been to Ukraine before has probably noticed the inclusion of a sushi menu at seemingly random restaurants. It seems weird to most that you would go to a pizza restaurant, and they also serve sushi. Or hit up a beer hall and along with beer snacks you can also get some Unagi rolls. When Cody, (from Cooking To Entertain), who is American, first went to Ukraine with me on vacation he was…

Pottery Class In Lviv

Last summer I finally decided to do one of those things that you always want to try but never have time, money, or company to do this with. For me it was pottery.

Visiting Kyiv Pechersk Lavra – The Cave Monastery

One of the must visit places in Kyiv (Kiev) is an ancient monastery complex – Kyiv Pechersk Lavra or monastery of the caves. The territory of the monastery is quite large and includes a few different churches and monuments, but the highlight of this monastery are the caves. This place is also a great stop on my Kyiv Walking Tour because it is right next to the Kyiv War Museum And The Motherland. The word “pechera…

What To Do In Ljubljana

Ljubljana is the capital of Slovenia. It is a cultural, economic, historical, and educational center of the county. For some reason, Ljubljana and Slovenia in general had never been on my must-do list and going there I didn’t have any expectations whatsoever. Ljubljana was just our stop between a month in Croatia and another month in Italy. And I thought that four days in this city or even country would be enough, what…

How To Visit Mezhyhirya Residence, Yanukovych Presidential Palace

Chances are that you have heard about the Ukrainian revolution in 2014 and that our 4th president, Viktor Yanukovych was accused of high treason.
