I dream of traveling and meeting different people and learning a lot about the culture and customs of different countries. It’s so great that there are so many different peoples and cultures on our planet.

Every time I am about to change something in my life, there is a person who talks me out of doing it. I have a good position in an international company.
I have a good stable salary. But despite all these advantages, I feel that in this company I cannot be fully realized. I have a lot of ideas, but the management is not disposed to change the company’s policy neither to modernize the equipment. These are people with a conservative look and therefore they look at all innovations with caution.
So, you see, why I want to change my workplace. I am in a process of solving given task.
