Surf’s Up Soundtrack – Legends

Dedicated to my beloved parents, my friends around the world, and the Freestyle community.

Without them, I do not know where in the world I would be.

Hello traveler! I am Isabel Martynenko but you can call me Izzy. I am going to San Jose State University next year and am interested of going into animation or even just digital arts. Outside of artistic work and school, I travel the world with my parents. I am ready for any unknown future plans I have ahead of me because I have been preparing for it with all the traveling I have done with them. Both of my parents are originally from Ukraine and came to America for a better, safer life. As a child of Ukrainian immigrants, my parents sought ways to both acclimate me and help me remember my ancestral roots. My father especially knew I needed a cultural connection, so he exposed me to the different perspectives, beliefs, and traditions of different countries. Both of my parents felt that exposure to different ways of life would truly open up my mind to realize that the world does not revolve around one way of life. People have different backgrounds, beliefs, traditions, and perspectives. My goal as a traveler and creative thinker is to spread my knowledge of world travel by telling some of my most memorable experiences in different countries on this travel site.
