The interview with Natasha Martisova, editor of In Your Pocket guides in Ukraine. Source: www.iflymagazine.com, an online travel magazine with breathtaking videos, inspiring stories and interviews with innovative people.
Ukraine is known the world over as the home of Chernobyl, for its crumbling stockpile of nuclear weapons, and its gun-toting businessmen in dark glasses. Update: Chernobyl dumped its poison on Belarus, the nukes went back to Moscow, and the 'business community' is no worse than the one in New York.
The reality is that Ukraine is gorgeous, and as such is the perfect destination for travellers of all persuasions. Wanna take a ride on the world's longest trolleybus route (100km)? Wanna bake on the beach by the Black Sea? Maybe you'd just like to spend some quality time in the extraordinary capital that is Kyiv? Or, maybe, a few days in Odesa - the jewel of the Ukrainian coast? The ancient Lviv can also open its doors for you. Well, soon you'll be able to do all of these things, and what's more you'll be able to do them with us, thanks to In Your Pocket.
