About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying life and realizing personal ambitions:)))

ABOUT ME

I am a very optimistic joyful person. My passion is travelling, I can't stay for a long time at the same place;) I adore to explore new countries, their cultures and languages of course (as a philologue by major)! I am a social, easy-going and very friendly person (this is my friends general opinion about me;) and it's true:)! I like to meet new interesting and good-natured open people, because to deal with them is always the best pleasure for me! I prefer to share my own experience (both life and professional) with all my friends! I am a leader of NGO "Language Exchange Club", moderating here since November 2009. We are gathering every week at public places (in Zaporizhzhya it's on the 5th floor of trade center "Avrora"), at the tables of food court, with the main purpose to speak different foreign languages (English, French and Italian) about 2 hours and have fun,

PHILOSOPHY

Be yourself, no matter what they say!
Our life is the most precious thing that all we have!Enjoy it every minute!
