I've been in Sendai for almost 2 months - working for accommodation in a KIKO hostel (sending big hugs to all the people I met and worked with in that place!). The hostel was known for its "global meets local" slogan and, as I quickly learned, it lived up to

Definitely one of my most memorable trips. I went to Chernobyl with strefazero.org (and it's the only one I can recommend, verified by me and friends) for the whole 3 days of sightseeing in the Exclusion Zone and 1 day in Kiev. Including commuting, the trip took a
