For the last two years I have been studying international relations in Glasgow, UK and Turku, Finland. Besides, I also lived in Poland for half a year and recently spent 2 months in Canada. Previously, I obtained a degree in Political Science in Kyiv, Ukraine. I am concerned with human rights, gender issues, and poverty alleviation, as well as environmental protection. Currently following the Olympics, first time ever :) In addition, I love history, languages, arts and culture. I am easy-going and adventurous person, always willing to discover new people and places.
