Why Ukraine is the Ultimate Travel and Date Destination
What better way to spend a week-long vacation than in the city of brides itself?
Ukraine is the ideal destination for those who not only want to get away from their busy day-to-day, but also for those who are looking for a date. After all, it has Ivanovo, otherwise called the City of Brides. One can find so many beautiful Ukrainian ladies anywhere in this city.
And if the ladies don’t lure you in, then the country itself will. Ukraine is also a safe place for tourists, despite its history of wars and such. Kiev itself is a city just bustling with tourists, a manufacturing powerhouse all on its own. If you don’t go for the ladies then you will want to for the scenery.

Travel tips
The best time to visit Ukraine would be in either spring or fall. During these seasons, the weather will be pleasant, terraces are set up outside and there are many pop-up bars that come to life. As a bonus, fall colors are just pretty to look at.
- Language
Thankfully for tourists, most cities like Lviv and Kiev have people who are good enough to communicate in English. Young people are also much more proficient than the older folk. However, don’t count on them speaking English if they’re from smaller towns and villages. If you really do have trouble, use Google Translate. As bad as it is, it’s actually quite decent for Ukrainian or Russian.
- Money
In Ukraine, they use hryvnia (UAH) as their currency. Most ATMs in this country thankfully take international cards but some will only allow small withdrawals or charge a withdrawal fee.
It’s also common to see a lot of the locals use Apple or Google Pay for anything. From small things like a cup of coffee to a new laptop. All major credit cards are accepted, including the Maestro card. Pay-pass is available at all terminals too.
- Transportation
Railways are what really connects most people throughout the country. However, transportation also comes in the form of buses that exist in almost any city.
The women
Ladies in Ukraine are known to be supremely beautiful. Sometimes too beautiful. If you see one stroll around, you might even be inclined to believe that they are the best sights that Ukraine has to offer.
A lot of American men want to have a Ukrainian bride for many reasons. It could be the fact that foreign ladies just have that kind of appeal or it could be the preference. All reasons are backed by the following factors:
- The family-oriented values
Most of the women in Ukraine grew up with mothers that teach them the important values of being a wife and a mother. Marriage is one of their priorities because once you marry, you become family. And in Ukraine, family is the top priority.
- Smarter than you think
Some of them might not be able to speak English fluently, but that doesn’t really make them less intelligent. A majority of them have college degrees, since they believe that finishing education equates to being successful someday.
- They always look their best
Because they dedicate their efforts to looking lovely for the majority of the day, you can expect them to look like runway models all the time. Yes, even when they’re merely walking their dogs. It’s in their culture to pay good attention to their own health and appearance.
Ukraine is for everyone
This European country has it all, from its rich history dating way back to its stunning scenery. It’s also very safe to visit, perfect for families to travel to during a trip.
You’ll be presented with lots of new experiences and opportunities here in Ukraine. You never know, you might also find the love of your life here.
It’s not hard to fall in love with a Ukrainian. On top of being one of the most beautiful people on the planet, they also possess a lot of wit and are very welcoming of tourists from all over the world.
Doesn’t that sound like a total dream?
Witness the magic yourself and visit Ukraine. It’ll be worth every penny.
