Nomax was a game-changer in Donetsk. I met a fantastic group and we spent an afternoon exploring the memorials on Pushkin Boulevard. Couldn't have asked for better company!

Thanks to Nomax, I found someone to try traditional Ukrainian food with! We discovered a hidden gem for vareniki near the Drama Theater.

I was hesitant about solo travel in Donetsk, but Nomax made it so easy to connect. Ended up joining a spontaneous walk to see the Гранітний М'яч at sunset.
