After I got the idea to organise a creative exhibition and started to promote it on facebook, I met a great number of talented artists and designers.
About one person will be today’s article.
Let me introduce Victoria Rudenko, Ukrainian who is living in Georgia (Republic), an artwood jewelry designer.
Living in an another country can be hard, but it also can give great motivation for self development.
This little story about such person. Let me introduce Julie and her candles.
Julie is 28 years old, she is from Ukraine (Donetsk), where she lived with her family. When there started war actions in the region, they decided to move away.
Because of her husband’s work, they could move Denmark with a little daughter, to Fyn. It happened 1,5 years ago.
Living in another country can be struggling, but also it gives a lot of interesting meetings and surprises.
Several weeks ago at meeting at a museum I met Joanna. We talked and it appeared that she has her own company.
I met her and her business partner for an interview and I am looking forward to share their story.
Joanna came to Denmark from Poland 4 years ago, she is married to a Dane. In Poland Joanna was an English teacher.
Her partner, Jandira, is from Guatemala. She has been married with a Dane for 23 years. Before they lived in Mexico, Venezuela, where she worked in an export industry. In total she has been living in Denmark for 7 years.
As most of the internationals, the women had the same problems: integration into the Danish society, learning the language, inability to use their educations in potentional jobs.

Yesterday I attended very interesting event in Aarhus, organized by University International Club (UIC).
We were invited to see an exhibition in local museum. The Museum of Ancient Art and Archaelogy hosted exhibition of local women ‘Sew your city’.
The idea of this exhibition began with meeting of museum employeer, who studied history and owner of the embroidery shop.
They wanted to make something involving with Aarhus theme and also something that would have connection with antique.
The result became a full exhibition that consists of 28 works. All of them are made in different styles.
Often when I meet immigrants, they start to complain about their present life at a foreign country, how different new culture is and how they miss their homes. It makes me sad to hear this, because I think if you made decision to live at a foreign country, you need to do everything possible to understand it and to be happy.
That‘s why meeting with such person as Michelle is a life present to me. As it appeared, it wasn’t the first time Michelle gave interview, she was telling her life story before.
Michelle is a positive and active person and she shows that an immigrant can find happiness in a new country.
Today I want to share with you story about beautiful and talented girl from Odessa, image – marker Marina.
I hope her story will help you to believe in yourself and start some new project of your life.
From childhood Marina had passion for languages, books, fashion and all beautiful things around her. So when she grew up she decided to study international economic relationships.
“Why did I choose this education? Because I was curious how the world is, why some countries are rich,and others – poor. I wanted to discover different cultures and to learn new languages”.
After graduation Marina started to work at international logistic company. colleagues were nice, salary was very good, but after several years she understood that this job is not enough…
Marina wanted something more in her life. I think we all feel this from time to time, but how many people do listen to their heart and feelings?
