January 2026 came along with different fascinating events, meetings, and valuable talks.

Despite busy times and full employment in the capital of Ukraine, our interests run us far away to discover other places.

Renowned for preserving authentic Hutsul culture, the region offers deep immersion into traditions, including unique museums (like the Museum of Hutsul Magic), local cuisine (banosh), and scenic mountain landscapes)
