Winter fun! Thanks for sharing. Seems so long ago.

Did you live in Ukraine?

We live in the US, but my wife grew up in Ukraine. We visited almost every year since we started dating — so I’ve been with her to Ukraine 7 times now. One of my favourite countries of all time.

The food must be amazing

The food is incredible and super affordable. Many of their newer restaurants are arguably better in taste, price, decor, and atmosphere than some of the restaurants I’ve been to in the US and Canada.

My grandpa was Ukrainian so half the time I was over we’d be eating that.

🥺

So cute. I’m so sorry. I can only imagine how she is feeling about it all

#[3]​ was a total boss since the beginning of the war. She personally (remotely) helped approximately 100 Ukrainians flee the country (finding routes, booking transportation and accommodations, buying food to be delivered to people who couldn’t leave, collecting donations, sending toys over to Ukraine for kids) while bombings were at an all-time high. I’m proud to call her my partner in life.

Very inspiring, congratulations to her.

It brought tears in my eyes

Thank you for your kindness. It was a real nightmare. Really wanted to wake up from it and realize that it was just a dream. But I’m so proud of Ukraine and Ukrainians who continue fighting for our land. The good always wins at the end, and if it doesn’t, it’s just not the end yet. 🫶🇺🇦

You're da man for traveling to Eastern Europe. Niceeeeeeee 👍

Eastern Europe is under-discovered. Depending on where you go, it’s less touristy than your typical vacations where everyone goes. More people should travel to Eastern Europe. Especially to Ukraine, when we win the war.

Awesome attitude, I agree. I have yet to discover it myself better in future. I'm from Poland but I left when I was 15ish, 50 50 deal at this point. Thanks for the photo 👍

I don’t think I would be able to do it without you and your support, and still remain sane ❤️❤️❤️

Oh! And we should totally have our next #nostrica in Ukraine once we win! It should be called Nostraine 🇺🇦🫶🥂
