Hello Steemit! My name is Alina.

I was born and raised in a small village on the Ukrainian border.

A nice place to grow children and live in peace.

Yes, there are no skyscrapers and metropolises, shopping malls however: tranquility, organic food, genuine people, no smog and no traffic.

As a boy I loved to walk endlessly together with my brother. We woke up at dawn, took our backpack, something to eat, and we started the long walk to the woods, the virgin, almost enchanted, wild woods where the evil and the human STUPIDITY were not yet able to penetrate. It was true science lessons. We were looking for peanuts, mushrooms, medicinal herbs, and it did not matter if the legs were bad, even though we stumbled on mosquitoes, we were happier than ever. Far from mobile phones, the internet, expensive toys and dresses at the last cry. Joy times full of surprises that are now invented.

After years I can say with certainty that I am the most beautiful in my life.

Growing up, I was thinking more and more of the fact that I wanted to find new places far away.

I admit that I was afraid because nothing is safe and no one assures you where you are going, you will be welcomed and you will feel at home ... but if you are an adventurer you can not do without it.

As an old Russian saying says, "it is better to apologize for what happened than to sorry because it never happened".
And that's why I did the same choice Bilbo Baggins did one day: I decided to start "my unexpected trip", the greatest trip of my life, I left my house to live in Italy! So the journey started when I was 20 years old and took me away from home and that continues to this day, 9 years.

And who could ever have expected all this?

There were moments of sorrow and sorrow, misunderstanding, tiredness and fatigue, but as after a rainbow appears the rainbow after all these bad moments I became stronger than before.

Years have passed, I've learned traditions, I've studied my language, I can cook and pretty well, at least they say it, but I never forget who I am and what are my origins.

I would like to make news of my land, talk about her habits, her cuisine, her beauty.

On my blog you will not find reviews of technological gadgets, technical dis-techniques, but I will talk about many different things.

I hope you can be interested in my culture because I am passionate about different cultures in the world. I hope you follow me and give me feedback on my post, it would be great!

Ok, now it's late, let's Steemit!
Love - Alina.
