Most of the world
learned about Ukraine after Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022 and
continues to learn about it through the lens of the war. But Ukraine is
way more than war headlines. It’s the biggest country in Europe with
centuries-long history, vibrant culture, creative business community,
incredible nature and people.
Though Russia’s war continues and traveling to Ukraine can be dangerous,
we won’t let it prevent the world from exploring Ukraine. That’s why we
created a travel show.
Hi, I’m
Masha, a Kyiv native turned world traveler. I moved to the United States
in 2015, seeking new experiences from Miami’s shores to New York’s
skyscrapers, and eventually to Australia’s outback.
But when Russia unleashed its full-scale war against Ukraine, life as we
knew it stopped. So I decided to come back home to do what I can to
help. Even though the war continues and travel here can be dangerous,
the world needs to know that Ukraine is more than war headlines. It’s
the largest country in Europe, with a rich history, vibrant culture,
stunning nature, and resilient people.
So I’m going on a journey to rediscover it. And you can dare to Ukraine
with me here.
For the first episode, we
journey to Lviv, the largest city in western Ukraine, known for its
magnificent architecture, lively streets, and delicious cuisine.
Since its founding in the 13th century, Lviv has flourished under various
empires until the Soviet occupation in the 20th century, and now stands as
a beacon of the Ukrainian spirit.
