Name: Gerda
Three words to describe yourself: foreign, clueless, realist
Gerda was born in Lithuania and lived there for the first three years of her life. Her dad won a green card through the lottery system and the family moved to Tennessee. After Tennessee, she moved to Jonesboro, Georgia, and then she lived in Maine and finally moved to Hiram, Georgia. "I hate staying in a place for more than five years because moving exposes you to a lot of different cultures," she says. Because Gerda wants to travel, she is studying International Affairs and Russian at UGA. Gerda said that she loved traveling to Prague and Vienna and she would like to step foot on every continent. If Gerda could do anything in the world, she would want to live in a loft and live her life like an artist, but with a lot of money. Gerda says she needs a career with some level of creativity. Gerda's mom's side of the family still lives in Lithuania, so Gerda does get to visit. Last summer, Gerda took a class in Lituania and said that Eastern Europe is more preserved and the pace is much slower than in America; she had a two hour lunch break. Gerda also speaks Lituanian and she loves Harry Potter.
