This winter I gave myself a real fairytale escape — a vacation in the Ukrainian Carpathians. And honestly, I fell in love 💙

Snow-covered mountains, fresh frosty air, wooden houses with warm lights in the windows… Everything felt like a postcard come to life. During the day I enjoyed long walks in the mountains, laughed a lot, took photos, and simply breathed deeply — something we often forget to do in everyday life.

But the real magic began in the evenings ✨
Hot Carpathian thermal springs and traditional чан baths under the open sky… Can you imagine soaking in warm water while snowflakes gently fall on your face? It’s pure bliss! Your body relaxes, your thoughts slow down, and you feel completely happy in that moment.

There were cozy talks, herbal tea, local food, and lots of smiles. I felt light, alive, and full of energy — like winter gave me a warm hug instead of cold.

This trip reminded me how important it is to sometimes escape, recharge, and enjoy simple pleasures. The Carpathians stole a little piece of my heart — and I’m sure I’ll be back again 💫

Winter can be magical if you know where to look.
