Shugyla Yermukhanbetova

Kazakhstan

I am a master’s degree student, currently studying Tourism Strategies. I’m from Kazakhstan and now living in Italy for 2 years, as I’m studying for my Master’s degree in Rome. I speak Kazakh, Russian, and English fluently and French, and Italian at a basic level. I love learning new languages and studying different cultures. I have a blog on Instagram (sun_shugyla) which inspires people to travel and learn new languages.

l study books about geopolitics and listen to lectures about history and philosophy.

I am passionate about pacifism and world peace and am horrified at the violence and conflicts taking place around the world, from Yemen to Ukraine to Palestine. I am often frustrated by how little I can do to stop this, so I am very eager to join an organization that might help me enhance my ambition to make a difference.
