Women-Only Hospitality Exchange in Belarus

Belarus, Solo travel

In Belarus I have been to 2 cities: Minsk and Brest. In each of them I felt absolutely safe both during the day and late at night. Belarus has an amazing property - everyone who gets there gets drunk 90% of the time, and I was no exception. You should definitely try Belarusian liqueurs and draniki (potato pancakes), and if you want to spend time in a quiet and not very expensive restaurant, I recommend Le Gosse. In general, I stayed in Belarus for 2 weeks. I came from Russia by train, lived in a rented apartment in Minsk, then with friends in Brest, and left again by train to Russia. All expenses cost me 440€ (including travel and accommodation). I did not deny myself anything, traveled by taxi 70% of the time and bought coffee in coffee shops. I think it is very cheap! And if you have a Russian card I recommend booking accommodation through Yandex Travel. This is one of the most profitable options.
