Meeting Maria, Hutsul woman of the Ukrainian Carpathians
There was one more thing that happened on my way to Rachiv. It was just a long straight road, 10 miles along the valley bottom towards the town where I was going to take a weeks rest. Ten miles more and

Descent from Hoverla - highest peak of Ukraine
The sky began to glow pink as I packed away, so happy to be here experiencing this, the beauty of the day beginning, the tinges of light turning the mountain yellow brown with colour. I walked towards

I went to climb 3 mountains but only managed 1.5
I’ve realised something about myself – it’s always been there, in the times when I’m emotional or drunk, but in the long days of walking when I’m tired and hungry I can see that it comes very much to the

My first bad day
It all feels hazy now, a few days down the line. So much of what I’ve done this week has been in mild dehydration under hot sun. Exhaustion plays with your memory, makes the brain blank out. I haven’t

Sleeping in a field and then entering town - Ukraine
I am in a coffee shop in Kozyatyn town and it is tiny. One counter, one round table, one set of chairs at a window seat. Proudly established in 2017, proclaims the window decal. I come in because it’s

First I had to get there - Hitchiking to Kiev
The thing I always forget about hitching is how it feels to wait. I can tell you all about the wild rides, the interesting people, bad coffee in expensive petrol stations, the thousands of miles travelled
