One place on my must visit list is Kharhov Ukraine. Fast becoming a popular destination for tourists and business travelers, Kharhov is the second largest city in Ukraine. There is so much beauty in the world; hidden treasures living in countries and cities just waiting to be discovered and marveled. It is my dream to travel the world and take in all its beauty. It is rich in culture and history and home to many natural treasures that would make any nature lover happy.
