Zaporizhzhia

Alina with Kateryna Simoniva and Sergio Bilov at the Zaporizhzhia City Hub.

My first visit to Zaporizhzhia, the city where my father was born.
Just met some of the city’s young dynamic leaders Kateryna Simoniva and Sergio Bilov who are devoted to Zaporizhzhia and passionate about their work as heads of Culture and Tourism at the city council.

It’s wonderful to meet people who believe in, create and build the city they want to live in.

The phrase “personal responsibility” comes to mind: we always have a choice to either wait for help, solutions and things to shift on the outside or we can take control and get behind the steering wheel ourselves, both in our personal and social lives.

Thank you Zaporizhzhia for such warm welcome and my gifts! I now have new friends here and also new projects and cannot wait to be back to see them come to life.
