My name is Elli Yampolskaya. I was born in Kharkiv, Ukraine over 26 years ago. I moved to Austria in 2011 to study computer science at Graz University of Technology. If you are so inclined, my old blog in Russian about moving to Austria can be found at www.grazstories.illuzionjournal.com. This blog is a side effect of my short love affair with Lisbon in 2018 called an Erasmus semester. I am habitually restless and genuinely believe that sleep deprivation should be considered torture.
