To be honest as always I was sure that summer 2016 will be as much the same as previously spent summers. Like every single year I spend one to two months with my family somewhere in Greece, or Spain or we choose more exotic destinations, but we never stay for holidays in Ukraine. I am not saying that Ukraine itself can't be considered as a country to spend your summer, there are plenty amazing things you can do and discover something new you have never done before even thought you're local. What I want to say that we all love to travel, because every part of the world is so unique and beautiful on it’s own.
However this summer was an exception and different from the summers I used to spend. Originally I was born in Crimea peninsula, and I still have a family house, some friends that I visit every year. So I decided to spend two months of summer there without thinking why not going travelling somewhere else. And I must say that this summer was one of the most exciting and happy summers in my whole life that I will remember and tell to my grand children. I am still thrilled with an enthusiasm, and remain on a positive note.
Why? Here it goes;
1. One evening at friend's dinner I met a guy, and I think we realized both at once that it is our destiny to be together. Perhaps for me it was the best feeling of this summer.
2. On wheels with a best friend. From one location to another in two weeks have seen almost full peninsula with its beautiful sights. The nature and historical places of the past Russian imperators, writers such as Lividia, and Voronstov palace have impressed me the most.
3. Sun, sea, tan lines, and a drink in my hand. You can have fun and enjoy any place if you have a good company. That’s what I did. Together we have rocked the best south beaches, bars, restaurants, danced day and night, greeted the dawn, horse and jeep riding, yacht cruises, and even lived in tent. Words can't describe how happy I was and what I felt at that moment.
4. Romantic adventures. Cape Fiolent and Cape Tarkhankut with rocks, stunning landscape, and transparent azure water, a place enchanted by its uniqueness. In addition to that we have made wishes in the grotto of love and have also viewed sunken treasures. Ended up the day with delicious fish dinner and a good bottle of Crimean wine.
5. My 21st birthday. I never plan in advance my birthday, because of the lifestyle I live and occupation. So this time it was reunion of all my friends from childhood, gymnastics, school, and basically almost everyone has left Crimea and emigrated. It was a very fun night, with many surprises, flowers and gifts from everyone. Really happy that everything was amazing and we shined bright that nigh.
6. Family first. Family is always precious and for me family is on the first place. Talks with mum, sister, brother and time spent together made me realize how I miss, care, love and more and more I want to be with these people.

To conclude, I want to say that this summer was really like a fairy tale, a dream come true, and I did not even thought that it could be possible. Probably we all should believe only in the best and it will definitely come. Thank you for this beautiful summer, I'll be waiting for you again!
