Ukraine (Other Places Travel Guide)

Ukraine (Other Places Travel Guide)

Palaces that emerge from the mountains, beaches with names like â‚¬Å“New World,â‚¬Â ski resort towns straight out of a Bond film, and clubs where passwords must be whispered to enter â‚¬â€œ it must be Ukraine. A secret favorite of backpackers for years, Ukraine is finally getting recognized by the outside world for what it is: a canâ‚¬t miss travel destination.

This unique travel guide provides insight into Ukraineâ‚¬s vast history in a â‚¬â€œ dare we say â‚¬â€œ fun way. Travelers will be eased into this Eastern European countryâ‚¬s cultural norms and introduced to its taboos in order to avoid embarrassing cross-cultural no-no's. With transliterations of all entries, first-hand reviews and recommendations, and a focus on the countryâ‚¬s must-see places and off-the-beaten-path gems, this guidebook will act like your international chaperone; making falling in love with Ukraine that much easier.

The author, Ashley Hardaway, has lived and worked in Ukraine for over two years; getting to know the culture overtime through the slow-burn of a budding relationship. This isnâ‚¬t merely a one-off observation â‚¬â€œ this is true love.
