Insider’s guide to travel in Ukraine

More

Ukraine has risen to claim its place among the leading countries of Europe, and with that rise come tourists looking to learn more.

There have been numerous tourism guidebooks on Ukraine, but this book gives practical advice on enhancing one’s time while in Ukraine.

The book is divided into three sections: Part 1 provides an overview of Ukraine’s many attractions, including its cuisine, culture, architecture and nature sites, as well as its hospitable people. Part 2 highlights city attractions in Lviv and Kyiv, with helpful information on attractions, entertainment options, places to eat, as well as unique Ukrainian experiences and family-friendly activities. Part 3 is geared toward those making extended stays in Ukraine and offers advice on medical facilities, recommendations on shopping and transportation, as well as tips on meeting locals, getting to know the Ukrainian way of life, etiquette and more.

Ms. Kachmar, a mother of two daughters, is a Ukrainian Canadian educator and linguist, who is originally from Edmonton. She has lived in Ukraine for nearly 10 years, having also lived and worked in Germany, Poland, Austria and Qatar, and appreciates the insights that can be gained from living internationally. Her interests focus on child development, child multilingualism, Ukrainian arts, yoga, healthy cooking and environmentalism. She enjoys spending time with her family outdoors.

This is her second book; her first book, published in 2001,  was “A Semester in Lviv.”

She hopes that her new book will inspire others to discover Ukraine, promote the tourism industry in Ukraine and provide valuable intercultural connections.

The book is available in print via Amazon.com and also as an e-book, (www.amazon.comukraine-europe-best-kept-secret-insiders-ebook/dp/B01DBTECNC). For more information, readers may contact Ms. Kachmar at [email protected].
