Exploring An Abandoned Soviet Airfield (near the Ukrainian/Russian border)
This is the type of place that you won't read about in Lonely Planet. If you are interested in all things Soviet and want to witness in person the remnants that remain, going to the small city of Vovchansk in Ukraine is definitely worth the trip. Only 10km from the Russian border, this city was an important key to the aviation industry in the USSR, home a pilot school and training field. Now the airfield still remains on the outskirts of the city with a few of the key airplanes and helicopters that were used for training purposes. If you'd like to come here yourself, the easiest way is to go to Kharkiv first and then take a bus from Konnyi Market.Support my journey on Patreon:

Travel Medical Insurance I use:
Get 5% OFF Hey Mondo:
SafetyWing (best for younger travelers + digital nomads):
*I use both of these companies depending on the destination and requirements of entry. If you are going to be abroad for a long time and/or don't need as much coverage, I would recommend SafetyWing. BUT you cannot purchase SafetyWing WHILE in Canada or USA. You can only purchase once already abroad. Hey Mondo is more expensive but offers a higher level of coverage including plans that have trip cancellation/interruption insurance. Hey Mondo would be the better insurance to use if you need travel medical insurance when applying for a visa. Both companies cover covid. I am an affiliate for both companies, but I pay for my own policies.*

Affiliate links do not cost you as the consumer any more than you would normally pay, but it does offer a kickback to the person who initiated the sale.
