DO
YOU WANT TO GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM?
Have you ever wondered about your baba’s and dido’s
family back in Ukraine? Is there anyone
left after a century or more? Where did
they live? What did their village look
like? Is Ukraine different now?
The answer to the last question is “yes” and “no.” Your ancestral homeland is very modern, and
yet quite traditional. You will see
both. If you have no relatives there
anymore, or are not Ukrainian, and just want to see and experience a beautiful
part of the world, come along with me!
Join me on a specialized tour of Ukraine like no
other. We see people and places that
will remain in your memories for a long time.
The scenery, the history, the culture, the people, the food, the drink,
the art and architecture, the serendipity – all blend into a memorable journey.
If you’re interested in having family, extended family
and friends go on “your” tour, we can customize it. Not only will you see the highlights of
Ukraine, but you will visit your ancestral villages and towns, meet relatives
or people who remember them, and celebrate your ancestry. If you want to join me on a regular tour,
where we can visit your villages, that can be arranged. And if you’re not Ukrainian, that’s fine, too
– join us and become part of the family!
This will be my 15th tour. I have led folk art and culture tours to
Ukraine almost every summer. The folks
who travelled with me are from all across North America, from the Northwest
Territories to Florida and Iowa, and from California to Rhode Island and Nova Scotia. Then there are the ones from Japan and
Australia! Now we are all friends, and I
am blessed to have met and traveled with them. We're off from August 22 to Sept. 8, 2013. Enough time to plan.
Have added some photos -- urban and rural. What a beautiful place! More to follow.
The number in the tour is limited, so folks need to sign up with Martha Banias as soon as they can.
