There is a bus that goes from Ukraine to Barcelona. Temperature in Barcelona this time of year is variable. Last week it was 23°C, this week 15°.
Not entirely sure how a Ukrainian person gets through all the borders now, but haven't read anywhere recently that the problems encountered visa-wise don't exist anymore.
In other words; unless things have changed in the last year, I'd be vary wary of a Ukrainian who says she can meet in Spain.
But of course, the important idea is that people from Russia OR Ukraine have to go through a visa application process to go to countries of western Europe, it isn't so easy.
Hey, I thought you guys might like to know how my trip went. I wouldn't give one of those blow by blow accounts but just say it was great. We meet in the airport at Barcelona and had an incredible week together. The chemistry seemed to be really good. She is more beautiful in person than skype, and she is intelligent, funny, thoughtful, great to be with and did I mention beautiful? If you have never been to Barcelona I would definitely recommend it - like Paris but with palm trees and the Mediterranean.
There was none of the lets go shopping thing - in fact she bought my children a gift from one of the museums we went to because she wanted them to have something from her from the trip. I also had some gifts for her and her daughter and they liked them very much.
We got serious pretty quick. She's great. First thing she did when she got home was send my children and I a Xmas present via DHL. I also sent a package for her and her daughter and parents for New Years but her package arrived here before mine got to her.
We are both serious about a relationship and continue to email, skype and SMS and plan to meet again as soon as we can - it is dependent on me getting time off from my job, hopefully in the next 2-3 months. I hope to get to Russia in the the near future but we both thought it may be better to wait until the weather there is a little warmer.
I know all these forums say your not suppose to get serious about the first woman you meet but maybe sometimes we hit a home run the first time at bat. Know a lot of things can go wrong with these LTRs over the course of time but so far everything is looking great. Wish me luck.
good luck mike2001. to be sure, many people meet and start a relationship and become serious and exclusive in a short time. it does not matter how or where you met. if you met at a local grocery store in your hometown or if she is from a different planet, as long as the chemistry is there it can be the one. don't let others convince you you are foolish not to shop around. only you really know the situation. good for you. you should start looking into a visa soon. get all of the facts and prepare while you are waiting. but don't wait till the last minute to get the visa. and get a visa before you get a plane ticket. visa is really easy to get by the way - you just have to time it right.
If the first person you go to meet, meets your criteria and you her's and you both are serious about being serious, then there is no shame in that. That is the ultimate goal; to meet someone and live happily ever after.
I concur ...
... although it took me a few years to find the right one, it took me only one meeting with my wife to realize that she was the one. I made the move pretty quickly after our first meeting because I could not risk losing what was so difficult to find.
Now, after a year being married I am happier than the first day of our marriage.
If you think that she is the one, don't do anything that you will later regret, just because others tell you so. Only you know what is right for you.
