Destination: Belarus

Belarus is our home country.

Both Alex and Alexandra were born and raised in Belarus, leaving for Canada in their early twenties. Yet the country is very dear to our hearts, and we wish to go back to Belarus often. Unfortunately with Belarus’ political crisis of 2020 and Russia’s war on Ukraine in 2022 (where Belarus’s dictator acts as Russia’s ally), we are not able to go. And we do NOT RECOMMEND anyone to travel to Belarus in the near future. Especially with kids.

Yet, once the turmoil is over, once the war on Ukraine is stopped, once Belarus is able to acquire new democratic leadership and opens up for international visitors – there are much to see and many places to travel to in Belarus. So please DO come!

To plan your future travel to Belarus, we’ll post cool landmarks, attractions, historical landmarks, info about family-friendly destinations, and travel tips. We’ll add some historical photos as well from our time growing up and from our visits in the past decade. We only hope that it is all still there once the madness stops.
