I recently had the most unexpected and joyous experience during my travels. On the vibrant streets of Tbilisi, Georgia, I stumbled upon something that truly warmed my heart.

As I wandered through the city, I noticed the first page of my bat story for National Geographic Magazine – Georgia displayed on the wall of a charming house! It’s not every day that a writer gets this delightful surprise to see their work showcased in such a public and artistic manner. This reminds me that Storytelling is the most powerful tool ever; it can transcend borders, connect people, and change the world.

I am grateful for the opportunity to share my stories and hope that this small moment can inspire others to appreciate the magic found in unexpected places.

Warmly yours,

Bogdana Vashchenko
