This post is devoted for those people who wish to travel but for some reason are afraid to do it. If you really want to travel somewhere, let your dream come true. Now I know it by my own experience. Let me inspire you with my own story.
A year ago, on 25th of September, I married a beatiful woman who like me also likes to travel. We are happy to live in a small city of Ukraine - Yuzhny, that is situated at coast of the Black Sea. My wife is a disabled person and constantly uses weelchair, our family income is low for the current moment and there are only two bus routes in our city, at 6 am and at 22 pm, we can use to move somewhere else to other cities.
As you can see, we have some difficulties with travelling. But despite them, we really wanted to go somewhere to celebrate a year we spent as husband and wife.
Fortunately we've found Steemit.com 2 months ago and were lucky to have some our posts to be noticed by community and this is how we solve finance question. Thank you, Steemians ! So we got 150 USD for the trip and begin to plan our super weekend. You may think that it is rather small sum but believe me, in Ukraine, where average salary is about 150-200 USD per month, it is quite enough to have a great weekend.
So, we decided to move to Vinnitsa to see the famous Roshen fountain, the Europe's largest floating fountain, and other places of interest of this city. By Google maps we found how we can get there by car.
and by booking.com we found a place to stay at cosy Gostevoy Apartment - Arhiteltora Artynova Street 8, Vinnytsya,:
In Ukraine taxi is very expensive, most buses are hardly can be used because they are not adapted for wheelchairs and in order to use a special railway car one should write an application a month before the trip (the reason is lack of special railway cars for disabled persons). But those who really want something, find a way how to reach the goal!
Our solution was to use service https://www.blablacar.com.ua and I would recommend it for everyone who wants to travel. You can choose your country on the bottom of the site:
And this was right decision! It was cool weekend in Vinnitsa and we succesfully returned home without any problem. Here are some photos and video from Roshen Fountain:
And on on our way back to home we even managed to go for a walk to famous SOFIYIVKA - the National dendrological park of Ukraine !
I did not use camera there because it was cloudy but, believe me, If you happened to visit Ukraine, just visit this wonderful place. In order
to show you the beauty of this place watch this video (it is not mine, but still descibes Soviyivka pretty good):
So I and my wife have unforgettable impressions about this small trip. We saw nice places, talked to different people (we travelled by 5 different cars with blablacar !) and can say with assurance:
- All is possible when you really want it!
- Travel, it's great!
- Believe in yourself!
