I am from Ukraine. Last four years of my life I have spent in Poland. Firstly I came here for studying in the most beautiful city of Poland - Lublin. After one amazing year with Polish people and Polish culture, I was looking for continuing my adventure in Poland. Next step was volunteering in the frame of European Voluntary Service. It was totally different experience: I was working with people with mental disabilities, with babies in the nursery, with children from different backgrounds and in total with a whole local community of 10 thousand citizens town. As an introvert, I can say that this one year was for me a big challenge: being with people was a part of my work, was a part of me. But I am really happy that I took this challenge. A lot of new people from all around the world, a lot of new emotions and tests of myself have shown me who I am, what I want and what I actually need. Now I understand that the most important thing for me is to never stop, to never give up! And, of course, to never stop opening new horizons.

Music, Movies, and Books

In general, I really enjoy spending time with Ukrainian culture. I can speak for hours about modern culture of my homeland and promote it. Because of living in Poland I want to get know with Polish culture too and especially with the different connection between Ukrainian and Polish culture.

Music for me is like one separate World. I am spending in this World the big part of my life and it's hard to choose just some genres of music.
I like to open new names in music. Sometimes I can be annoying for my friends by my discoveries because I will put it once and once again till I'll find something new.

I am really careful with literature. Every book which was read by me was chosen after detailed analysis of the place of this book, author in the history of the literature of country and in the world.

And I am a big fan of Cinema and a specially of European movies and tv-series. Scandinavian tv-series are my big love!
