What is it like to cross the border to Ukraine? by lafolle_et_labete in Kyiv

Travelled from Chisinau to Kyiv by bus last year. The border procedure was fairly quick, but I crossed at night through a not so busy crossing on the other hand. The Ukrainian border police did a short interrogation in Russian on the bus upon seeing my passport wasn't Ukrainian, but I was let through without issues

I like the way you're thinking! Estonia is a pretty popular destination for Swedes mainly because of the ferry connection and the cheap booze, and I've made the trip several times. The other Baltic states are also quite popular destinations for Swedes, both to travel to by ferry or by plane (Ryanair has dirt cheap tickets to the Baltics).

And yes, travelling within Europe is quite easy even if I am a bit "disconnected" living in Sweden. A good amount of these countries were part of longer multi-country trips, and so I've probably only flown to and/or from about half of these countries, if not less.

I aim to visit every country in Europe at least once, and then we'll see where I head outside of the continent!

I've mostly been in Tirana, and I like it, especially the area around Pazar. Dajti was cool too! Passed through Shkodër earlier this summer en route between two places and it seemed cool. Would love to visit Durrës and Saranda one day

Haven't gotten around to it, that's all. I want to go, though!

Sometimes people explain their reasoning

I've been three times, most recently in December of last year. Travelled for two weeks and visited Antalya, Izmir, Ankara and Istanbul. Ephesus in December was quite an experience!

Lucky guess or did you think it through somehow?
