It is at the end of the interview.

I just love this quote from her interview...

"I am sure that most interesting things in life happen not when you are walking on asphalt road, but when you find small path. It is very important not to miss this path, walk through it and than your life will be full of adventures and interesting events."

Valentina is from Ukraine.

Here is a picture of a beautiful cathedral in her hometown of Zaporozhye.

Here is her interview...

Where do you live?  

I live in Ukraine, in large industrial city Zaporozhye with almost 1 million inhabitants. I was born in Zaporozhye, studied here, my family lives here, so I can say that I am child of megalopolis. Is It good or bad? I don’t know, but this is my life.

Does your name suit you?
My name is Valentina. In Latin, It means strong and healthy. Some people have said that my name has had an influence on the life and my life has proved it. I recovered from a serious illness in 2005 and I think my name helped me.

What did you want to be when you were growing up?
I can’t remember as it was so long time ago – I am not 20, 30 and even 40 (I am not going to reveal my age like any other woman).

What was your first job?
I always liked to read, I like to think, to reason. That’s why I became teacher. Firstly, I worked in school, now I am the teacher of linguistics in university (my mother was teacher too). My desire to become teacher came to life that’s why I don’t want to change anything in my life neither than nor now. I am the person who is happy with his life.

Where would your life be if you married your first boyfriend?
I am pleased not only with my job, but with my marriage too. I happily live with my husband for more than 30 years. Oh, dear, I have just disclosed my age. But it is not bad – first of all it is more important to have young soul. Am I right? So, I am 35 and not more!

If you could live in any decade what decade would it be and why?
If I have a choice of what time to live I choose future but not past. Only because it will be rather interesting.

What is your idea of fun? If given a choice to skip work for a day, how would you spend the entire day?
As you understand I am adult and very serious. And couple of years ago I suddenly fall in love with digi scrap. It gives me a lot of positive emotions and brings pleasure. That’s why almost all of my free time (if I have it) is devoted to digi scrap. If I have the opportunity to miss my work I would spend the time in front of computer and than I would go to café with my friends because I love sweets and cakes very much.

What are some fun facts about yourself; or some quirky thing about yourself;
In spite of the fact that I consider myself very serious, I have and adventurous soul. I like new places, new things, new people. I am sure that most interesting things in life happen not when you are walking on asphalt road, but when you find small path. It is very important not to miss this path, walk through it and than your life will be full of adventures and interesting events.

What is your favorite color?
I think that color preferences depend on many factors: age, events in life, seasons of the year. Now I like soft, pastel shades. And no red-violet-green or black and white. Only pleasant colors!

What are your foods?
I like contrasts in food: sweet and salt, spicy and bitter (for example – very strong coffee).

What is your favorite vacation destinations?
I live close to Azov and Black seas and I can go there whenever I want. May be that’s why I like north more than south, i.e. the places which are inaccessible. That’s why I like mountains (Carpat and Caucasus mountains). And I dream of Ireland. I don’t know why. May be this dream I will write in the book of desires to make it real.

Here is the cute QP Valentina made for you. You can download it here.
