# #3 Crossing Ukraine and Romania – 1400 km along the Carpathian arc – David Czempka

Authors: David Hotař

Date: 2022-04-19

This time David Czempka (co-founder of Travelight, now Gramino) took the guest's chair – he undertook a 1400 km journey across Ukraine and Romania.

Hi, episode three is here! This time, the guest's chair was taken by David Czempka (co-founder of Travelight, now Gramino), who in 2018 undertook a 1 400-kilometer journey across Ukraine 🇺🇦 and Romania 🇷🇴. David set out from the tripoint of Slovakia, Poland, and Ukraine and walked all the way to the Czech Banat.

Shepherd dogs 🐶, bears 🐻, border guards, and digestive problems 🤢… This thru-hike definitely didn't come easy. We talked about the pitfalls along the way and tips on how to avoid them, resupplying food, gear, and other useful information that's good to know if you ever head to these parts.
