We are happy to invite bloggers to contribute to our blog. Today we are happy to share the post of beautiful Anna Ivanova about her Bukovel experience. 

Any person in this world most probably has a favorite place. I have visited around 20+ countries in my life and around 40+ different cities.

Each place has its own charm but to me, there is no better and more beautiful place on the entire planet than the Ukrainian Carpathian Mountains. Especially because visits there I can easily combine with my other two passions and make it a perfect yoga and snowboarding vacation.

Bukovel Ski Resort, Ukraine

If it is your first visit to the beautiful Ukraine and it is winter, and you are looking for ski resort at the Carpathian Mountains then you should definitely go for Bukovel Ski and SPA Resort. First of all, Bukovel is the largest and the most modern ski resort in Ukraine. The resort features 60 kilometers total of slopes with 16 modern ski lifts.
