Travelling to Ukraine via Poland is complicated because of the amount of options. I will share my experience with all three options [on foot, by bus, or by train] to get into Ukraine. I imagine this post is interesting for someone planning their journey or for the ones who are wondering how one gets into […]
In the mid-month update I mentioned that we voted in the Romanian elections. We had to choose between a trump&musk-approved pro-russian populist thug with no education, and an independent mathematician who did his BS at the University of Bucharest, before studying in Paris for his Master’s at École Normale Supérieure and for his PhD at […]
On Monday Liverpool FC celebrated their victory. We went to see it, had lunch at our favourite vegan place – The Vibe, before waiting for a couple of hours for the bus to arrive. It was such an interesting experience, with lots of people chanting the club’s songs and a truly multicultural and diverse event. […]
How is to do your shopping during war? I think this is quite an interesting topic. It is also very specific to buying from a city which is 1000 km from the fighting. Ukraine is a big country and the experience in Lviv is different than what people experience in cities that are much closer […]
House of Scientists in Lviv is a splendid 19th-century neo-baroque building. It was used before as an aristocratic casino, while today is often used as a film set, for obvious reasons. The project was created by the Viennese architectural bureau of F. Fellner and G. Helmer. This team is the one that designed other theatres […]
This mid-May update is going to be a long one, which means my idea of splitting the monthly update this month too was a good one. I am sharing a lot of pictures. I already blogged about Volya’s journey home, which took 3+ days and involved 3 trains, 1 flight, 1 very-long car drive, 1 […]
In this post I talk about our journey to bring Volya home. It has a lot of pictures as I made sure I snapped pictures at every point in our journey. It was a 3-days trip, with lots of stops, and lots of different means of transportation. We went by car at the appointment we […]
There is a simple reason why I publish my April update on 10 May, my laptop broke while I was in Ukraine. Which was not entirely bad, as I donated it to be used for parts. Different things from the laptop can be repurposed, like the battery can be used to make a power bank […]
This is my first Easter in Ukraine, but it will not be the last. I’m so happy that I was able to attend these wonderful events. This is a picture heavy post, covering Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. I will also talk about what we did at home and a feast at one of the volunteering […]
Bakhmut. Faces of Genocide 1942|2022 is a special exhibition at the Gunpowder Tower in Lviv. I’ve been blogging about that location a few times because their exhibitions are small and fascinating. Its location is great too, a few minutes walk from the city centre. This exhibition is about the well known city of Bakhmut, well […]
This blog is my personal diary, I will only write about brands and products I’ve used personally and are inline with my personal beliefs (e.g. no real fur). I am happy to receive PR samples or services, I also receive gifts at blogging events and sometimes I will blog about them.
I will disclose by mentioning in the post and/or by marking them with an asterisk (*) or c/o.
