Me, Myself and I

Hello,

My name is Ivona Costan and during my classes at Deutsch Akademie, I’ll try to be a Vienna and Deutsch Akademie Ambassador for their blog readers.

First of all, let me introduce myself, by writing a couple of words of me and my passions.

My name is Ivona, and I grew up in a small bilingual city, in Transylvania, Romania. At 19 years old, I moved to Bucharest to follow my dreams. Here, I obtained two bachelor degrees and two master degrees, in Environmental Protection and Project Management. I am that kind of person who likes to study =)).

Over the last 10 years, I’ve build my life on three simple principles: study/ evolve/ work smarter. I have much to offer in the way of diversity of experience and profession.

Since early age I showed a great interest in learning new languages. I took the opportunity to help others in discovering the beauty of learning a foreign language and culture… but here I am now, when I need the help of others in order to better understand the German language and assimilate the Austrian/ Viennese culture, so I enrolled to the Deutsch Akademie courses.

I love walking in nature, and I enjoy reading (from newspapers and bestsellers to scientific articles or books). I like to try new things, and starting with last year I play mobile and video games (daily and weekly). In the category of trying new things is also the cooking :), which is quite enjoyable for me, if it means to try a new recipe of food, desserts or drinks.

In addition to all this, I’m doing volunteer work since I was 15 years old and I’m considering that the voice of civil society is leading to important changes that we seek to see into the world.

In need of a new challenge, I moved to Vienna, where currently I plan to live. I need to learn the language but also to find a job (my dream one :D).

I can’t wait to make new friends and discover all the world beauties together.

P.S. Last but not least (mostly for my colleagues), I adore Ice Cream!  1.1. Ivona Costan1.2. Ivona Costan
