This is how I ended up joining my friends' honeymoon in Ukraine.
This visit was for a very special reason: the wedding of my dear friends, Svitlana and Danylo. I started in my favorite Ukrainian city, Lviv, which always feels like a second home. My first mission was to find a vyshyvanka, the traditional Ukrainian shirt, and a beautiful local shop helped me find the perfect one. 💒
After the wedding, I joined the newlyweds on their honeymoon road trip. We headed for the Carpathian Mountains, a place that's been on my list for a very long time. We hiked, swam in the river, and were blessed with absolutely beautiful weather. I couldn't have imagined a better time. 🙏
To finish the trip, we visited their parents in the countryside. It’s fascinating to see the beauty of their simple and traditional life and as always, I was welcomed with open arms and a table full of food. ❤️
My time in Ukraine flew by. It has truly become a second home to me, and I know I’ll be back soon.
