UKRAINE – Donbass (Donetsk, Luhansk)

It was not possible to visit this area of Ukraine in 2019. A Russian visa was required but would not be granted except under special circumstances (but especially not to citizens of the European Union).
The areas of Donetsk and Luhansk would be dangerous at best as they are the main centres of the occupation by Russian forces.
I thought of going to Mariupol which is remote from the fighting and on the Black Sea but it was a long drive out of the way and had not much special to see. I was also uncertain if I could go without a visa anyway.

I would like to think of myself as a full time traveler. I have been retired since 2006 and in that time have traveled every winter for four to seven months. The months that I am "home", are often also spent on the road, hiking or kayaking. I hope to present a website that describes my travel along with my hiking and sea kayaking experiences.
