Documentation of my deathwish trip to Ukraine Les mer

  • Leaving Wroclaw

    24. oktober 2025, Polen 🌬 11 °C

    Finally leaving Wroclaw, hoping to get to Warsaw by 6:30pm ish.

    It’s quite comical how there’s literally loads of Soviet era brutalist accommodation that’s been painted over to make it look not as beige and grey.Les mer

  • Almost at Krakow

    24. oktober 2025, Polen 🌧 9 °C

    Had a hour nap, the weather is getting colder, darker, and harsher. Since Gliwice there has been this dark cloud in the distance I’ve been travelling to and I’m not a superstitious person but man it’s ominous.Les mer

  • Delayed…

    24. oktober 2025, Polen 🌧 8 °C

    So my Bus to Kyiv has been delayed, now looking at 11pm set off :/

    Hopefully it’s not cancelled, picked up some food though, looks nice

  • Delay Update

    24. oktober 2025, Polen ☁️ 7 °C

    Finally getting closer to the bus being here…

    Next update should be either coming upto the border or just past the border

    Tried to get a video ready before I left but the angle wasn’t working with me, so enjoy this outtake where I got the angle right but ended up messing about trying to light a cigarette :/Les mer

  • Now in Rivne

    25. oktober 2025, Ukraina 🌬 11 °C

    Again, desperately been trying to sleep as much as possible and fast travel to Kyiv.

    Most of the people got off in Lviv and so I can crank my seat way back which is a godsend, slowly running out of water and food but it’ll be over soon…Les mer

  • Zhytomyr

    25. oktober 2025, Ukraina 🌙 8 °C

    Travelling through Zhytomyr is compelling.

    It’s both a relic of the past and a stark vision of the future.

    Outdated and outmoded brutalist soviet housing blocs scatter the area, grey, lifeless and dense, but alongside it is broken warehouses, destroyed buildings and battered roads, all a consequence of the war.

    Being the closest city to Kyiv in the west means people have flocked here from the capital to escape the Shelling. The streets are deserted but there is clearly a larger human presence here than before, cars and trucks litter the pavements.

    As I move towards Kyiv I’m seeing more cranes and building projects, whether they’re still being worked on, I’m not sure, but I hope that these people find sanctuary.

  • Kyiv, What An Experience

    27. oktober 2025, Ukraina ☁️ 6 °C

    Honest to God, hand on heart, the best trip of my life so far.

    This place is absolutely beautiful, the people are so amazing and the architecture and atmosphere is the best I’ve experienced.

    The food and people are so diverse and all have such amazing manners and personalities.

    I’ve met some amazing people who I’m happy to call friends and came out with so many gifts

    In the span of two days I have

    . Tried Borscht for the first time (it’s actually good)
    . Went to an underground Ukrainian bar
    . Walked all around Kyiv and its churches
    . Had a full course Georgian meal (genuinely the best food I’ve had ever)
    . Got a tattoo from the best tattoo artist ever @Fotsklat
    . Saw destroyed Russian tanks, missiles and drones
    . Survived a air raid (slept through it)

    10/10 would do it again

    Kharkiv next.

  • More of Kharkiv!

    27. oktober 2025, Ukraina ☁️ 8 °C

    After loads of strikes last night I managed to get up around 11am after having an amazing dinner from the hotel last night

    I was rudely awoken by a critical drone strike, whatever that’s supposed to mean

    Had a walk around and found pick and mix fish freezer and massive bottles of actimel
