Eastern Europe is where it is at. Ukraine is super cheap and a really beautiful place, requires a little work to get there but not to bad. Hotels are cheap and really good food and just awesome. Planning to go again this summer.

  Yeah, not everyone has what it takes for a good adventure....I suppose that's why so many like Paris and Rome, it's all they can handle...

    Curious to hear your story. Why take the risk of going to Ukraine? How long did you go for? How much did the war impact your visit?

      Getting there wasn't too difficult, there is an overnight train from Prague that takes you to the border where you switch trains to go to Lviv or onward. You can also take a train from anywhere in Poland to the border. Buses are a good option too. Prices were very affordable, $250 for an entire month at an AirBnB in the heart of Old Town Lviv. Had Internet, washing machine, stove, etc, nice place. Then went on to Kyiv for a few weeks, absolutely amazing. My new favorite city in Europe. That was $28 a night at Hotel Ukraine. Everything was affordable and they accept credit cards/mobile payments etc everywhere. Got a sim from Kyiv Star Mobile for like $4 USD with 20 gig data and it worked everywhere, even in Germany, Poland and Czech Republic. There were air raid alerts when I was there and missile/rocket attacks but they do a good job protecting everyone. All in all it was a awesome time, am definitely going back this summer. It's a wonderful and very resilient country with beautiful people, once you visit you understand why they are fighting so hard to preserve it. The war has cost them dearly and it is sobering to see all the memorials dedicated to their dead Heroes. I am glad to have gone and spend time and money there to support them. Everyone I met was incredibly grateful that I had come as a visitor, it's important to show that they are not alone. It felt like I was part of an incredibly important moment in History in their fight for survival. I encourage everyone to go and support them and their economy in some way.

Why would you willingly go to a war zone? Their cities are regularly hit by antiship missiles (russians are evil) and Iranian made/copied drones. They don't care about you and will kill you no matter what your passport is from. Please reconsider or at least get a local guide.

I would suggest the Baltics instead considering that they don't have a war going on right now. They are extremely beautiful during the summer.

I'm interested in hearing more about this? Can you share a bit more of how you're operating there?

  What kind of information were you looking for? How to get there or what it was like?
