Boxing Day 2011 - Photo by Tom Pasarić

My name is Ivana Šaškor, but online I usually go by Ivy.

I study journalism at the Faculty of Political Science, University of Zagreb (Croatia). I am a student demonstrator on a course called “Sociology of Croatian Society”. I will get my B.A. this summer, following which I will continue my studies on a graduate level (PR).

Right now I work as a community manager for a book publishing company and as a writer for Netokracija. I recently started blogging in English for domain.me.

I speak Croatian (native), English (C2), Italian (B2) and Spanish (B1).

 
Okay, now that the boring part’s over, let’s talk about more interesting stuff.

I like raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens. Actually, not really. I don’t care too much about roses and when it comes to kittens, I absolutely adore them, but am allergic to cats.

I am licensed to drive a boat, but parallel parking a car is too much for me. I would drive a car to the ends of the Earth if I had to, but please don’t make me park it.

I grew up online and am not kidding when I say that. I learned how to type in chatrooms and I learned what people are like on forums. I’ve registered on almost every forum I’ve stumbled upon and created, administered or moderated my fair share of forums too.

Everything I know how to do online has been self-taught. In any case, I do everything online. I work online, shop everything (from groceries to clothes) online and I play online (I used to be addicted to Dofus). I even fell in love online.
