Accessibility: Okay, so they say they have accessible facilities. Big tick box! But let's get real: "facilities for disabled guests" can mean anything. I’m looking for specifics. Is the entrance ramp-friendly? Are the elevators wide enough for a wheelchair? Are the rooms actually designed with accessibility in mind, or just… "sort of" accessible? This is a HUGE area where hotels can trip up. (Needs more detail from the hotel).
Wheelchair Accessible: This is a good sign at first glance, right? But I want to know if all parts are wheelchair accessible, and not just the entrance. The restaurants? The pool? The spa (which is a big one for me, because I love spas!) This needs to be verified.

Proposal Spot Okay, well that is interesting, is it a scenic look out, or a beautiful garden?

Hotel Eva Perm Russia

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't your grandma's perfectly polished travel itinerary. This is HOTEL EVA PERM, RUSSIA, MY WAY. Prepare for a rollercoaster of emotions, questionable decisions, and probably way too much vodka. (Or maybe just a perfectly acceptable amount. Who am I to judge?)

Day 1: Arrival – Perm, Prepare for… well, Something

06:00: Woke up way too early. Flight from… well, let's just say it involved a connection that felt suspiciously like a cattle call. Airport coffee? Stale. My inner monologue is already screaming for caffeine and a solid nap.
12:00 (ish): Landed in Perm. The air… it smells different. Not bad, not good, just… Russian. Immigration? Surprisingly painless. (Note to self: Compliment the border control officer's mustache. It was magnificent.)
13:00: Taxi chaos. Haggling. Failed miserably. Got ripped off. Already regretting not brushing up on my Russian. But hey! At least I'm here!
14:00: Checked into Hotel Eva Perm. The lobby is… well, let's call it "functional chic." The receptionist's expression suggested I'd interrupted an important Netflix binge. (Can't blame her.) Room is… clean. The bed? Looks promising for a post-flight coma.
15:00 - 17:00: Nap. Glorious, glorious nap. Dreamt of babushkas and borscht. (Probably because I'm ridiculously hungry.)
17:30: Okay, time to venture out. Google Maps says the city center is a "short walk." Famous last words. I'm gonna get lost, aren't I?
18:00 - 20:00: Wanderer's Delight (or, "How I Accidentally Walked Through a Park Full of Pigeons"). Found a park. Pigeons. Lots. Of. Pigeons. They judged me. I judged them back. Found a local cafe serving something that smells suspiciously like… real food!
20:00: Dinner at a local cafe, a delightful stumble. Ordered some Pelmeni. Was amazing. Actually, it was divine. The broth was rich, the dough practically melted in my mouth. I swear, I could have eaten ten plates of them. (I may have considered it.) The whole experience was a symphony of flavor and culture. This is what I came for! I felt like I'd accidentally stumbled into some secret Russian culinary society.
21:30 (ish): Back at the hotel. Bedtime. Tomorrow: Red Square, maybe. Wait… that's not right. (Doh! I'm in PERM, not Moscow! Brain, engage brain-power!)
22:00: Staring at the ceiling, fighting jet lag. Also, maybe I'm starting to fall in love with Perm. Don't tell anyone.

Day 2: Perm Adventures (and Accidental Soviet History)

09:00: Woke up. Sun! (A rare treat, apparently.) Breakfast at the hotel. Bland, but edible. Fuel is fuel.
10:00: A walk to the Perm State Art Gallery. Ambitious, to say the least. I'm not sure I truly understand the art, but the sheer scale of the space and the history of the building sent shivers down my spine. The collection is interesting. There are a lot of icons. I love to learn a little about the artists and their work!
12:00: Lunch. Found a very local place. Couldn't read the menus. Pointed wildly at pictures. Ended up with… something. Tasted vaguely like chicken. Delicious enough.
13:00: The Perm 36 Memorial. This used to be a labor camp. The history is brutal. The exhibits are well-done, but gut-wrenching. I don't even know how to really process all the horrors that happened there.
16:00: Needed a serious pick-me-up, so I found a local coffee shop with, like, actual good coffee (Thank the lord!) and a slice of honey cake.
17:00: Took a brisk walk through the city center along the Kama River and the sculpture «The Permian Period». This is where the world-famous Perm dinosaurs came from. I think I now know the history of Perm.
19:00: Dinner at a restaurant with views of the river. Ordered something suspiciously resembling steak. The atmosphere was lovely. The steak? Well, let's just say I've had better. But the people-watching was top-notch.
21:00: Back at the hotel. Found a mini-bar. (My nemesis, but also, my friend.) Read a book. Fell asleep mid-sentence.

Day 3: Departure (and a Longing to Stay)

08:00: Okay, breakfast. (Still blah.) Trying to decide: scrambled eggs or plain yogurt? Decisions, decisions.
09:00: Last-minute souvenir shopping. Found a matryoshka doll. (Classic, I know.) Also, a hat that looks suspiciously like something a babushka would wear. (Impulse buy. Don't judge.)
10:00: Stroll through the city. Said goodbye to the river. Feel slightly melancholic. I'm actually genuinely sad to leave. Perm, you sneaky, charming city.
11:00: Taxi (another one!). Attempted to use some of my newly acquired Russian. Got a blank stare. Learned a valuable lesson: sometimes, hand gestures are the universal language.
12:00: At the airport. Security. Waiting. Anticipating the long flight home.
13:00: Thinking about those Pelmeni… and the pigeons… and the unexpectedly beautiful history of Perm.
18:00: Flight home… Probably reflecting on the trip, wondering if I'll ever go back. But secretly hoping I will. If only to have more Pelmeni!

Final thoughts: Perm isn't perfect. It's a little rough around the edges. The language barrier is real. But it's real, and raw, and beautiful in its own way. Will I be back? Absolutely. As long as I make sure to bring my phrasebook this time. And maybe a lifetime supply of Pelmeni.

Hotel Eva Perm RussiaOkay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the glorious, messy, and sometimes terrifying world of... well, let's say, **"Life, the Universe, and Everything, According to ME!"** I'm not even sure what specifically we're talking about *yet*, but knowing me, it'll be a wild ride. And yes, there will be

. Prepare for the unexpected!

So, like, what ARE we even doing here? What's the point?

Ugh, the BIG questions, already! Right off the bat! Look, I *think* the point is… well, surviving, mostly. And maybe, *maybe* figuring out what the heck makes us *happy* before we get too old to enjoy it. It’s a work in progress, okay? Like, my house. And my dating life (don't even get me STARTED.) Seriously, though, I think that's the whole shebang: navigating this crazy, confusing life thing. And figuring out what's *actually* important. Which, sometimes, is just a really good pizza. Don't judge.

What's the worst advice you've ever gotten?

Oh, man, where do I even *start*? Okay, there was this one time… I was, like, *really* into this guy. (Don’t ask. He was a walking disaster zone.) And my best friend, bless her heart, told me, "Just be yourself! He'll love you for it!" HA! If only! He ended up loving a girl who was, shall we say, the polar opposite of me. Lesson learned: sometimes being yourself is *not* the winning strategy. Sometimes you need a little… polish. Or a complete personality transplant. Okay, maybe I'm being dramatic.

Okay, so, Favorite thing to eat? Go on!

Oh, this is easy. Pizza. It's not even a contest. Specifically? Margherita Pizza. Crispy crust, tangy sauce, fresh mozzarella… *chef's kiss*. I once ate an entire large pizza by myself. Don't judge. It was a rough week. Don't ask. Seriously. I've tried to replicate it at home. Doesn't work. It's a delicate art, pizza is. And sometimes, the craving hits, and you *just* need that perfect slice. Like, the other day, I was feeling *terrible*, absolutely awful... and then a box of pizza showed up. Magic! It was like the universe was saying, "Here, honey, have some happiness." And I did. Entirely. No regrets.

What's your biggest regret? (Don't lie!)

Regrets? Ugh, the land of "what ifs"! Okay, alright, I regret… not taking more chances. Seriously! There was this opportunity… a chance to travel... and I chickened out. Stupid! I let fear hold me back. I should've just *gone*. Now, years later, I’m still dreaming about that place. Kicking myself. I was young! What did I have to lose? My bank account, probably. But still… the experience, the stories… ugh! Don't be like me. Take the leap!

What are you really afraid of?

Okay, full disclosure: I'm afraid of… failing. Not in a small way, either. Big, epic, disastrous failure. The kind that makes you want to hide under the covers and never come out. And I’m scared of the uncertainty of the future. Not having a plan. Not knowing what's around the corner. That keeps me up at night, you know? I should probably, you know, meditate or something. I’m also terrified of spiders. And clowns. Don't even get me STARTED on clowns.

What makes you laugh the hardest?

Silly stuff! Improv. Wordplay. My friends. We can be sitting around, doing absolutely nothing, and then… BAM! Someone says something utterly ridiculous, and we're all rolling on the floor. It’s those unexpected moments. Like, the other day, my cat, Mittens (yes, I know, a cliche name), did this *thing*. She jumped onto the counter and then proceeded to try and cram herself into a tiny spice rack. I swear, I laughed for a solid five minutes. Stupid cat. I love her.

How do you deal with a bad day?

Chocolate. Lots of chocolate. And a good cry. Or, you know, both. And maybe a long walk. And definitely avoiding people. Sometimes, you just need to wallow. It's okay! We're all human. And sometimes, you REALLY need to vent. So, rant to your best friend, watch a stupid movie, eat something ridiculously unhealthy, and then, eventually… dust yourself off and get back up. Easier said than done, obviously. I'm probably not perfect at this. Actually, I'm *definitely* not perfect.

What’s something you’re surprisingly good at?

Okay, this is embarrassing, but… organizing. I'm a bit of a control freak, I admit it. But I can take a total disaster zone of a closet and turn it into something… functional. Color-coordinated, even! It's weirdly satisfying. I used to think it was just a quirk, and then I realized that people *needed* it. I’m the go-to person for decluttering. It's my secret superpower.

What's the most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to you?

Oh GOD. Okay, so… picture this: I was giving a presentation at work. Big deal! Important client! I had practiced, I felt confident, I was wearing my "power suit"… and then, mid-sentence, I tripped. Flat on my face. In front of *everyone*. My papers went flying. My glasses went askew. I landed right at the feet of the CEO. mortified. I swear the silence was deafening. And then, the worst part? I started to *laugh*. I couldn't stop! It was hysterical, and horrifying, all at the same time. Seriously the worst day ever. I still cringe when I think about it. The CEO laughed too, afterwards. I think he secretly liked me. Probably. Maybe. (don't judge.) And it turned out, I *did* get the client! Go figure.
