Every marvelous adventure begins with a spontaneous decision. Once you’d like to try something new, even have a bit of fear or uncertainty, but then your lifestyle will never be the same. Young people are courageous explorers who are open to the world. Then, something that can change and fill the life of many students calls ‘exchange programs’. I’m not an exception, so I’m ready to get new experience in Work and Travel USA program. Oliver Wendell Holmes said, “A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.” Exchange programs are about significant personal changes that have an important influence on the future. Students get an invaluable experience combining new culture, exploring a new city and country, new people and community, and learning new skills and many amazements. Definitely, these expand the worldview, but they can also help in finding yourself and your purpose in life. I’m convinced that youth trips also pump up everyone as a person, so after this experience, the difference with other peers who didn’t participate in it is palpable. So it is about growing up, and I’d say in a speedy, inconvenient at times way. Students are the drivers of change because they have the power to build a better society around them. Therefore exchange programs can be a great tool to recognize what best young people can take from other cultures and implement in their native land. During intercultural interaction in programs, students are able to share their own culture, traditions, and different features with each other, so the result is a combination of something greater. By the way, I hope in America, it is possible to learn and understand their world (I’m sure it will be 100%) and also get to know exciting things from other students from different cultures. Next, exchange programs are one of the most significant types of non-formal education. In schools or universities, we used to have typical studying with books, lectures, teachers, and other standard things, but in youth trips, students have practical lessons. New conditions force you to take care of yourself independently. This is a kind of school of life where students face many challenges – from organizing their budget to finding the necessary place in a new city. Nevertheless, the moment of really growing up also can be great thanks to youth traveling. Everything I described above related to my experience too. In July 2022, I was in Summer School “Waves and Ebbs of Democracy”: Lessons learnt from Central European 'There and Back Again” at Masaryk University in Brno, Czech Republic, and it was a great three weeks. Except that we had an educational plan, I spent a fantastic time exploring a new country and communicating with new people from Georgia, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, Serbia, Montenegro, and Armenia. Honestly, it was exciting to interact with them and share my thoughts and feelings about russian invasion of Ukraine. Sometimes I recognized that they didn’t understand the Ukrainian context, so my mission was to describe how it happens. I wanted first to introduce them to our culture and then tell them about our history and brave people. Nothing captivates people like food, so I decided to cook Ukrainian traditional cuisine borshch for the group. And they could give thanks by donating to our army. Two goals were achieved: in this way, we joined the victory of Ukraine, and international students learned more about my culture and Ukraine in general. (Video here) Furthermore, this program consisted of traveling in Central Europe, so we were in Budapest, Prague , and Vienna. The best opportunity to combine hard work and funny nights is to catch the moment as we did during our trips. Besides, I realized how similar we are: international students also can have responsible preparation for the test after a crazy night or submitting a task at the last minute. Because previously thought these related to Ukrainian students only, but fortunately, I

Good morning, afternoon, evening, friends) I would like to tell you why my blog is called "Center of Europe". I'll start by saying that in 2014 I applied for a US visa through the Work and Travel USA program, but I was denied. At that moment, it felt like a total fiasco, a crushing failure, and many other things I could have called it. BUT after the rejection, an even greater desire to visit America ignited in me, and I think I will succeed in the near future) A few minutes later, I called the director of the center and reported the refusal. She sympathized, of course, and told me not to be discouraged, as there are other programs. She suggested "Study in Prague" to me, specifically for the English language. Having set my goal, I "headed" there. And so begins the story of "Prazhka" (as I started calling it so affectionately after the trip). I got the visa without any problems. From the very first moments, it delighted me: when leaving the airport, I saw a bunch of signs with the word "POZOR"—which actually meant "Attention". Here I was in the center of Europe, where everything is "within reach": Berlin, Dresden, Vienna, Munich, and other European cities and capitals. Those lovely red-tiled roofs, uneven roads where you can only walk in flat shoes, people speaking different languages everywhere, of different nationalities, who are also kind and sweet. I made new friends with whom I still keep in touch)) ALL of this so charmed my heart that I realized travel is a door to new discoveries for the soul. So, people who are only striving for America, turn your gaze to Europe as well; don't be crushed by visa refusals, because there is always a choice and an opportunity. I can only add one thing: the desire to go to America will always remain, but now it's just another country to travel to)

PASTA — FOOD OF THE GODS As the song goes: "Do you think I have millions? But I've always loved pasta, and I'll love pasta all my life!" Especially with fried sausage! Mmm, finger-licking good! "Golden church domes above the river. Ripe wild strawberries with fresh milk. I run through the mown grass, And above me the blue sky is so-o-o high!!! I'm still a boy of five. And my joy is singing, and my happiness is fly-y-ing Grandma's tales about love and courage, Where kindness and truth protect the world! Grandpa was sent past Berlin and Prague And the festive spring fireworks-s-s! I know that together we are a people And my happiness is flying. And my joy is sing-ing! This is all mine, native, This is somewhere deep inside. This is the most sacred thing that remains in me. This protects and heals us, Like God's grace. This is something you cannot buy or take away. Indifferent time will pass through the neighborhood, Erasing the addresses dear to me. We will learn profit and calculation, But we will stop seeing the heavens in each other-r-r! And when it gets hard for me, I will tell myself again, In spite of all times: This is all mine, native, This is somewhere deep inside. This is the most sacred thing that remains in me. This protects and heals us, Like God's grace. This is something you cannot buy or take away. This is something you cannot buy or take away..." Sergey Trofimov "Rodina" (Motherland) A beautiful song. It reminds me of my homeland. October 14, 2008. Sunny Cape Town NINJA Yeah, there are a couple of my brothers here — Petrukha and Vasyok. I wonder what they're doing there, how they're living? Two ninjas. And I'm a bit of a ninja with them too. The world is full of all sorts of "ninjas"! I dreamed today that I was driving my car. I love my car so much! It's so comfortable, powerful, fast, and in general — the best and most beautiful. Its color (which is relevant right now) is yellow sand! And there isn't a single left-hand drive 41st "Moskvich" here. Can you imagine? Actually, there isn't a right-hand drive 41st "Moskvich" here either. And not a single "Moskvich" of any model at all. Because they stopped producing "Moskvich" cars quite a while ago, and now they make, pardon, crap! That's why there are no new cars of ours anywhere. And thank God! You'll say I'm not a patriot? I'm an honest patriot. I always tell everyone everything as I feel, think, and see it. For example, I often refute with my words and my own example the stereotype existing in the world that ALL Russians love vodka indiscriminately and guzzle it all the time. I don't think this is 100% true or worthy of special attention. Why paint everyone with the same brush?! And what about our positive qualities? A Russian person is the smartest in the world! Just pay attention... For example, to how lightning-fast (it's just incredible!) our entire country became telephonized and computerized! Where, in what other country have you seen such brisk, rapid changes happen in literally about five years? And quite voluntarily, in peacetime, when there's no rush at all, in theory?! Only in Russia! Because our country is the best in the world! We should be proud, we are very lucky to be Russian! And that's the truth! The future is behind Russia! Even the sun is with us! Did I bring a strong argument? ? (in Old Slavonic, Russia is Raseya: Ra-se-ya — sun-is-me!) So we are all little suns. It's not for nothing that we call our loved ones "sunshine." We don't just call them that affectionately — we tell them the pure truth. For Russia! And peace all over the world! Festive fireworks! I periodically bash the USA and Europe. You probably think I don't like them? Well, not without that. But, to be honest, I have a positive attitude towards them in many things. Just this morning I was thinking that I would gladly go on a bus tour of Europe again. Only I would choose a different route than the one in 2006. And I would go to America to see Niagara Falls. I think it would imp
