Easter in Ukraine

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 and 2022

Bakhmut

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 […]

Unbroken: Behind the Rim

Unbroken: Behind the Rim is a special exhibition in Lviv, on for another week. I mentioned the National Rehabilitation Center Unbroken last year, when I visited it. The artwork on display was created by soldiers who are treated at the centre. Before needing rehabilitation and, most likely, prosthetics, most of these men and women were […]

Shop fronts in Lviv

Shop fronts in Lviv, in February

Shop fronts in Lviv is the second post I write about Lviv, after the previous Walk through Lviv. I did not imagine that I would want to post about this, but seeing so many beautiful places, I took a few pictures and I am sharing them today. So this post might be followed by a […]

Domivka Lviv

Domivka is an animal charity in Lviv. I shared pictures from when I volunteered with them for cat sitting. In November we went back and had a proper look at the whole shelter. This is one of two they have. All the animals in the shelter are rescued from abuse cases or from where battles […]

Unseen Force

Unseen Force

Unseen Force was a special exhibition, which ended a couple of days ago. I wanted to share some highlights from it, even if my readers are not going to see it. Also, it was in Ukraine, so even if it was still on, it would still have been impossible to see it. Unseen Forces was […]

5 weeks in Lviv

5 weeks in Lviv, in pictures, is my latest post. I’ve been blogging about everyday life and different places in Lviv from mid-August. Today I am sharing 20 pictures from my 5 weeks in Lviv, random snippets of everyday life, from my hotel rooms (had 2) to vegan food to shots to getting the bus. […]

Entrance to Lviv Coffee Mine

Lviv Coffee Mine

Ukraine has a lot of fancy cafes and Lviv Coffee Mine is one of the best. I was told about it and I went there a few times in my time in Lviv, either with friends or alone. It is based on a funny story, that coffee was mined, and the underground cafe is decorated […]

Unbroken

I had the opportunity to visit the National Rehabilitation Center Unbroken, in Lviv. It is a remarkable place. I also got to meet a few of the soldiers who were getting treatment in the centre. The stories of Vadim and Artem, pictured below, were inspirational. They are both incredibly strong. One of them was in […]

Lviv National Opera

Lviv National Opera is one of the most important landmarks in Lviv. It was opened in 1900 and today there are shows multiple times a week. I’ve been to the opera 3 times and it was wonderful each time. The first opera I saw was Don Giovanni, the second one was Carmen, and the third […]
