My biggest hobby is traveling, and I started with my on Kiev city of Ukraine and it’s suburbs. I have found the places people never would notice in their everyday busy life, “Secret Kiev” - this is the unique excursion, which will open the curtain to what Kiev city is hiding from us.
Here we may find an upside-down restaurant, a chocolate house and a chocolate man, dog-size crowns and giraffes living in the yard of apartment blocks, house of a crying widow and widower, allays that berry love stories, scary lost graves and unfinished mental house… and many many more.
So here we go!
