Hi there!

To be honest I am an awful writer, especially when using English. As a pretty introverted person, I prefer listening and reading over speaking and writing. Thus, the main purpose of my registration on steemit was to read quality content and listen to the opinions expressed here by local contributors in technology, politics, cultures and other interesting fields, as well as occasionally participate in different discussions related to them. My introduction dragged on a little bit, so as per tradition I am going to introduce myself :)

My name is Bogdan and I come from Ukraine. Currently I am studying economics at university. The things I am interested in are: geography, history, cultures, technologies, programming, economics and politics. I have a part-time job at one of the biggest european engineering corporations, where I help to optimize the flow of business administration department using my programming knowledge. In my free time I help my friends to launch a project: a service based on a mobile application. I can't go into details now but I really hope you will hear about that app soon :) Besides that I like to play beach volleyball, football, chess, video games (mostly strategies like Europa Universalis). Unfortunately the older you get the less time you have for that :(

One of my biggest hobbies is learning new languages, even though I am a pretty average at doing that. The best feeling about learning new languages is when you are talking to an unknown person using his language the very first time in your life and he says he can understand you :) The language I am learning now is Dutch. It is not very complicated per se but it is the pronounciation that drives me crazy. Dutch-speaking people have 3(!) ways of pronouncing "r"-sound! In addition to that, while learning Dutch, I understood that even Russian and Ukrainian languages contain a lot of words borrowed from Dutch (maritime vocabulary, "pants", even some fruit names).

My introduction was a little bit chaotic and inconsistent, maybe that will motivate me to post more often and fill in all the gaps. But that was it for today, thank you for your attention, dear steemians!
