I’m often asked how I went to the Emirates and why, and now that I have returned a week ago, there are even more questions, so I decided to write about it separately. I left Ukraine in October 2014, feeling that otherwise I could completely burn out. Anyone who has ever dealt with me knows…
All this has started as a natural parenting blog Well, the blog Prynadiyi now has a hundred articles and 2.5 months to 3 years, and this is a great opportunity to ensure that Heraclitus was right: everything flows, everything changes.
