DUBAI: Meeting The Culture in an over-the-top City (Flashback)

3/15/2024
When visiting any country or city to know more about its culture, I find it’s always better to visit the country’s more rural areas and to talk with ordinary people living their daily lives. That’s what I did during my trip to Dubai, where I went to the local market and wandered through the old city, which used to be the city’s centre. I also got to talk with Tracy, a local Muslim woman from England who married an Emirati. See pictures and read the blog post here: https://www.theradiovagabond.com/dubai-culture/

290 UKRAINE: Heart-breaking Visits to Bucha and Lviv

12/19/2023
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 ambiance shifts dramatically. Orest Zub, our guide and organizer, narrates the transition from Irpin to Bucha, underscoring the distinct stories each town holds within the larger narrative of the conflict. Bucha, a town tragically transformed from a peaceful suburb to a witness of war atrocities, presents a somber 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 local 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 is a blend of anticipation and reflection. The city bustles with life, offering a stark contrast to 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 gather for a unique sharing session. Travelers 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 adding 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 travelers. 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 in the next year, with more stories, more travels, and more insights from around the world. Blogpost and pictures: TheRadioVagabond.com/290-Ukraine
