Hej alla! I am 23 years old and I was born in countryside (Ternovitsa, Lviv region) in Ukraine then I moved to a small town where I studied Math and Economics in the Novoyavorivsk Lyceum. When I was 17, I entered the Lviv University where I studied Veterinary Medicine. In 2014, I got my bachelor's degree and this summer, I got my master's degree.
I enjoy life in the countryside and love meeting new people from other cultures and with different way of thinking. My interests and hobbies are: biology, geography, Nordic culture, social life and aspects, sport (football, ping pong, jogging, chess, skiing), reading, theology, music. Goals: find myself, see aurora, visit a lot as possible countries, think less - do more, find my place in the world, learn Swedish, be happy. I am here: teach, learn and discover you and vice versa. Hope that year will be one of my best. I got a chance to improve myself with you and I want to use it as much as possible. I particularly like the history and ways of Nordic countries! So, I am very happy that I have a chance to experience it now. Åland Islands! I am waiting to discover you and I hope that you want to discover me too. |
I’m twenty years old and I come from France. I have studied in social area, child area and special education. Concretely, I have worked with young people, children, people with disabilities and refugees. This area is of great interest to me, but not only. I also enjoy the creative activities like DIY, mosaic, painting, theatre, and dance. However, my greatest passion is travelling: meet people different than me, discover new landscapes, new way to live, and finally change your own way of thinking. If I had to describe myself with three personality traits, I would choose: spontaneous and open-minded, but very clumsy.
Why I’m European volunteer? I enjoy idea to learn differently because I want to grow and have more personal experiences before world of work is considered. So, I take every opportunities to discover me in practice and discover which public that suits me perfectly (because I would like to become specialized educator). I know that experience aboard will contribute to make me a good professional. About this experience, I know that it will be great because it’s an opportunity for me, but I know also that it will be difficult for some aspects. The distance from my family and my friends may be complicated. Moreover, the communication scares me because I don’t trust in my spoken English. But it will be probably improved in the future. |
