Can anybody tell me, what kind of cake I am making? The main ingredient is not on the picture, but if you read my CV till the end, you'll found an answer.

In the family of 7 children I was never alone, also because I have a twin brother. I got education better than my parents and I am traveling around the world at the moment, which is what I love to do.

My life till now was marked with three basic narratives: living on the family farm, studies about European Union and working for the youth as a volunteer.

From my childhood I was part of small family farm where I was playing with cats, dogs, other animals and with my brothers and sisters to. On the farm, I gained a lot of basic knowledge of horticultural activities, general farm maintenance and driving farm vehicles like tractors (my favorites) and working with animals like milking cows.

Studies at the university were hard for me, especially on the beginning. But now, I finally finished it yeaaaa :D and graduation was nothing special, cos I already went to my twin brother and sister graduations. During my studies I went to Erasmus in Leipzig, different conferences all around Europe and to learn Russian in Petrozavodsk. Work as a volunteer and in many part time jobs, because I need money for living. Being part of student life from parties, initiatives, dormitories with best roommates and aome events that happened when I was a student, were the best time of my youth.

I admired people who were active and there were so much interesting things to do, besides the studies, so I started to work in different NGO’s. As youth volunteer, I organized lectures, workshops, conferences, excursions and be part of international group of youth Europeans. Working in this field gave me practical experiences and skills for the future.
