Jeg sprang på toget i Budapest, ankom til Slovakiets hovedstad, Bratislava, og tjekkede ind på et hostel. Jeg havde haft mange overvejelser forud for beslutningen om at bo på hostel. Ville det være svært at bo sammen med andre i et fælles rum? Ville jeg være for gammel i forhold til de unge backpackere? Ville jeg mangle privatliv? I denne episode møder jeg Perry fra Californien, Dries og Dhijs fra Belgien og Max, Rachel og Jason fra Australien. Jeg får også en snak med den lokale Roman Flebo om tiden under sovjetstyret, om hans møde med den russiske mafia og om livet i Bratislava generelt.

Join us on a profound journey in the latest episode of The Radio Vagabond as we conclude the NomadMania educational tour of Ukraine. Our adventure begins in the suburb of Irpin, near Kyiv, where echoes of past conflicts and strategic defences tell a story of resilience and survival. The remains of a crucial bridge, destroyed to halt the advance of Russian forces, mark the stark reality of war. As we move to Bucha, the ambience shifts dramatically. Orest Zub, our guide and organizer, narrates the transition from Irpin to Bucha, underscoring each town's distinct stories within the larger narrative of the conflict. Bucha, a town tragically transformed from a peaceful suburb to a witness of war atrocities, presents a sombre picture of the invasion's impact. Here, we confront the aftermath of occupation and the brutal reality of civilians caught in the crossfire. The silent streets of Bucha, once bustling with life, now bear witness to the violence that swept through the town. Orest shares the harrowing details of civilian casualties, with about 600 residents reported killed. The Church of St. Andrew stands as a poignant memorial, with a mass grave and commemorations for each victim, including children tragically caught in the violence. Inside the Church of St. Andrew, a heart-wrenching photo exhibition brings the tragedy of Bucha into sharp focus. Images of abandoned bicycles, a loyal dog beside its fallen owner, and lifeless hands clutching groceries paint a vivid picture of the town's ordeal. These photographs, capturing moments of untold stories and lives cut short, emphasize the need for accountability and justice on a global stage. Our journey continues to Lviv, where the atmosphere blends anticipation and reflection. The city bustles with life, starkly contrasting the war-torn regions we've visited. The visit to a military cemetery in Lviv becomes a powerful moment of contemplation. Here, we walk amongst the graves of fallen soldiers, each marked with a photo, reminding us of the personal cost of war. Orest Zub explains the significance of these photographs, highlighting the youth and unfulfilled potential of those who lost their lives. On the last night, we gathered for a unique sharing session. Travellers from diverse backgrounds, including Gustav Rosted, Max Layerer, Per Besson, Mette Ehlers Mikkelsen, Alex Rivera, Khadija Musa, Ed Hotchkiss, Kim Borup Frederiksen, Lee Sandberg, Tony Wang, Allan Have Larsen and Petro Marais, share their reflections on the Ukrainian spirit, the resilience observed, and the emotional roller coaster of the trip. Each adds a unique perspective to the collective narrative. Their words paint a vivid picture of a nation's struggle, resilience, and the indomitable hope of its people. As we conclude this remarkable journey through Ukraine, I share my plans for the upcoming year. The focus will be on producing more travel episodes, balancing the narratives of other digital nomads and travellers. I encourage you to support and spread the word about The Radio Vagabond. With a wish for a happy Christmas and a festive New Year, we close this chapter of our journey, ready to embark on new adventures in 2024. My name is Palle Bo, and as always, I gotta keep moving. See you next year with more stories, travels, and insights from around the world. Blogpost med billeder: Radiovagabond.dk/339-Ukraine

Racine, Wisconsin – 123 km nord for Chicago, har den største nordamerikanske bosættelse af danskere i Nordamerika. Med 77.000 indbyggere er byen lidt større end Esbjerg, og lidt mindre end Aalborg, der i øvrigt er venskabsby til Racine. Da den danske indvandring til USA begynder i 1840’erne, bliver Racine hurtigt med 10% af alle danskere i USA. Og dette er stadig synligt nu. Da jeg kører ind i byen, ser jeg en masse butikker med danske navne. I denne episode af Radiovagabond Podcast tager jeg herop for at besøge et dansk bageri og for at undersøge, om jeg kan få en smag af Danmark eller bare en amerikansk version af den.

In this episode we’re in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, and the nearby suburb, Irpin. Join us as we delve into the untold stories of human resilience, the symbolism of abandoned cars. We also dive into the time before the war, when we visit the residence of the former pro-Russian president, Victor Yanukovych. His massive wealth and lavish lifestyle, starkly contrasts the ongoing struggles of the Ukrainian people, and his opulent estate stands as a testament to the depth of corruption under his regime and its detrimental impact on the nation. Yanukovych’s deposed leadership has ignited frustration and outrage among Ukrainians, illuminating the urgent need for transparency and accountability in governance. When the people of Ukraine finally found out about this lavishness and scale of the estate, it was viewed as a symbol of corruption and excess. And that sparked the Euromaidan Revolution. It's time to uncover the true impact of corruption and understand the true path to reconstruction. Blogpost: https://radiovagabond.com/338-ukraine
