Cosmopolitan Couple

Life IS unpredictable! You never know what can happen with you and where, when and whom you can meet. We agree because this how “US" happened to be! Clinton, from the USA, and me, Tanya, from Ukraine, first time met in Amsterdam on August 26, 2011. That’s where our story begins. We liked each other, became friends and so agreed to keep traveling together getting to know each other better. This blog has been our savory story of our traveling experiences, the visited places, the met people, the authentic various food and discovered wonderful cultures. We had enjoyed our friendship for almost two years until Clinton proposed me in Lviv in April 3rd and we were united as a family in Ukraine at a beautiful day of August 1, 2013. Now, as a family, we keep having an interesting life that unites us from different continents. We do not have a home yet and keep traveling until we find one :) We appreciate and love the quality of our life, our friendship and relationships. We have been gaining a wonderful world experience and love sharing it here for our family history and everybody who might find in interesting. Welcome to our blog!

If I was adding these photos to the blog in 2015 when they were taken, I would only choose the best shots that I like. But now getting my hands to these photos in 2021 🙈 I choose to keep them all 😂

Justeen is 5 and half. Btw she started teething at 5 months old 🙃 Thats why on many pictures she is rubbing her gums with lips 😁

Serious Justeen 😎 Clinton was trying to make her smiley, but nope, she stayed true to herself 😏

These are photos from May 7th 2015! Justeen is 5 and half months!

Yes, Justeen has grown up since this photoshoot a lot. Thats why it is more interesting to look back. It reminds me how serious baby she was 🙃 In order to make her smile I had to tickle her 🙈 I remember this photo-session was quite simple, we didn’t plan much. We just wanted a few pictured of our baby for a memory purpose. The photographer ended up including us into the pictures as well and I am glad she did. It is a good memory now to look how much we all have changed since...

I feel like Im posting too many pictures of my child, but that's how moms are. We just want to save every little moment of our growing precious kid.

The end of trip to Tinos island. We LOVED it. We loved how authentic was the food, how friendly were the people, how real and unique was the culture and the architecture. We left Tinos island with very positive emotions and a plan to definitely to come back to Greece again and explore its other beautiful parts. 

Tinos, Greece, May 11-21

Last dinner in Clinton’s favorite local Tinos restaurant :)

One of the streets of Tinos Island, Greece

I love how there is no concrete for the ground. I like unique greek architecture with its own simple light style. Clinton loves Greece for its food and I love it for its style.

Justeen again did not like to be introduced to the water... Honestly, the water was too cold so I totally understand Justeen’s face :D
