Hello!
My name is Lucy, I'm 23 and I study geography at the Faculty of Science, UJEP in Ústí nad Labem. I'm going to enter the 2nd year of master's program with specialisation in landscape and GIS (= geographic information system) I'm from Lovosice which is an industrial town located about 65 km from Prague and 20 km from Ústí nad Labem. The landscape around my town is very nice, because it's surrounded by the river Labe and hills of the Czech Midlands - this scenery is really breathtaking during the whole year!
I like spending time outside, so my favourite hobbies are hiking, travelling abroad and geocaching. Occasionaly I go running, roller blading or swimming, I also like parties, reading and eating (Italian cousine is my favourite. :)
As for my future job, I would like to do anything that is related to my studies. Geography is a very broad field that includes science as well as economical, political, cultural and historical geography, ecology, tourism, GIS, basics of administration and organisation of EU. I don't know yet what direction I should choose, but what is really important to me - the work must have a meaning and some aim. I have to feel that I'm useful and my work brings results and improvement.
The chapter about sustainable development is coming soon :)
