No comments · Posted by Sergei Rzhevsky in Architecture, Regions, Travel
Pryslip is a village with a population of about 800 people located in the northeastern part of Zakarpattia Oblast, about 160 km east of Uzhhorod, near the junction of the borders of three Ukrainian regions: Zakarpattia, Lviv and Ivano-Frankivsk oblasts.
The main sight of this place is the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker (1797) – an architectural monument of national importance. This is one of those Transcarpathian churches, which are located far in the highlands and to which there are no paved roads. Tourists practically do not get here. Pryslip on Google Maps.

Described by Lonely Planet as “one of Europe’s last genuine travel frontiers”, Ukraine is the perfect place for a unique teaching abroad experience. With a rich history, fascinating culture, low cost of living and highly-engaged students, teaching English in Ukraine can also be an incredibly rewarding country to live and work in.
However, it’s not always the easiest location in which to land a (legal!) teaching job! Getting started teaching English in Ukraine can sometimes seem like a daunting process, especially for those who are new to teaching abroad.
