my name is Iryna Malenko. I was born in the 15 th of June 1996 in Kyiv, which is the town of Ukrainan. I am 19.I am a student. I study in Poland. Our family is big. There are 5 of us: mother, father, 2 sisters and me.
In the evening all members of our family like to watch TV. Sometimes we go to the theater or concert. We are a friendly family. We are deeply attached to each other, and we get on very well.
My family likes holidays a lot. We usually celebrate each of them with a lot of food and presents and big groups of relatives and friends.
I like New Year very much. My mother and I usually decorate a New Year tree with colorful glass balls and toys. I also cook New Year supper, especially salads. At night we have a real feast.

Interests

Traveling is my passion. There is nothing more fulfilling to me than the smell of a new beach, the sounds of a new city, the traditions of an alternative culture, the flavors of a different cuisine, and the melody of an unfamiliar language. Meeting interesting and diverse people around the world, connecting with them and learning about their perspective on how to live life has enriched my life and my knowledge of the world in a way that words cannot express.
