As I stepped off the plane and into Hong Kong airport, a man in uniform jumped in front of me and placed a pistol to my head. He stared intently at the back of the gun, before lowering it and gesturing for me to keep walking. The start of an incredible visit that would go on to change the course of my life.
Ukraine is a country known for its war with Russia and the world's worst nuclear disaster. Hardly the makings of a great tourist destination. But, as it turns out the capital, Kiev, has so much to offer that you would be crazy not to consider it for your next city break.
Barely a day goes past when Greece isn't in the news. The country, and in particular its capital, appear to in turmoil thanks to decades of poor governance. Having only ever visited the islands, my knowledge of Greece was made up of beautiful scenery, endless sunshine and making new friends. But, that was island life, I was sure Athens would be a hot, tense and chaotic place.
I arrived in Poland without high expectations.

If it was so nice, why would they be so eager to leave?
