Hello, friends! I'm Yuliia 19 years old,
A traveler from my lovely Ukraine)
Instagram: juli_movenko

Always eager to meet new people and explore new cultures.

Have many exciting hobbies and activities, from gardening and painting to handcraft and volleyball.

I'm constantly seeking out new adventures and experiences, so I'm always ready to share my knowledge and insights.

By day, I'm a dedicated volunteer, often found immersing myself in various community projects, Erasmus+ or ESC. My heart finds solace in giving back to the world that has given me so much.

When I'm not busy making the world a better place, you'll likely find me strumming my ukulele by a campfire, surrounded by friends,
or totally immersed in creating something unique with my own hands.

I believe in the magic of the outdoors,
whether it's hiking through majestic mountains
or basking in the salty breeze of the sea.

I think that the world is not without good people :))

Music, Movies, and Books

Ukrainian music (especially old traditional music)
♥ I admire and really my favorite is the group Earth, Wind & Fire, many people know them by the song "September"
🎵The Cat Empire band
In general, everything depends on the mood, in one day I can listen to Kiss, AC/DC, Queen.
Sometimes I want to listen old classics like "Smells Like Teen Spirit". or Gloria Gaynor "I will Survive"
or Redbone.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

✨When I was on a long-term volunteering trip in Turkey in Ankara, I started to miss home very much. and then I found the Ukrainian union. and in less than 2 months, without experience and basic knowledge in this field, I created a theater troupe and created a theatrical performance that lasted more than an hour. The greatest success was that the hall was full, and people sat even on the stairs, and the Ukrainian ambassador himself was present at this performance. after the end, everyone stood up and clapped for a long time.✨
