About Me

ABOUT ME
I am lucky to have been living in Lviv since my childhood as I do love this steeped in history city, its flavour of elegance and coffee, its people with their noble expressions carved by an aesthetic taste of the city and their worn out hands carved by the reality they live in.
Three times I took part in an exchange program in Germany and lived in Bavaria for a month each time. I was 19 when I went there for the first time. This is pretty much the time when I started to associate my life with traveling.
I enjoy communicating with people and I also love being in solitude every now and then. I am admired by the word - that is why I enjoy learning foreign languages, literature, sometimes writing, translating.
To say a few words about my occupation, I work in childcare sphere (volunteering since 2010 and full-time job since 2014). Besides, I do translations as a freelancer.
What else... I am a vegetarian, I enjoy hiking, swimming, reading, started to practice yoga and pilates, having coffee or beer out, walking a lot, trying out new things.
If that's acceptable to you we should get along then ;-)

PHILOSOPHY
Life is about embracing the paradox.
Let the past be gone.
