Lesia Bakalets

Lesia Bakalets is a Ukrainian journalist based in Kiev. For the past five years she has worked for one of the Ukraine’s most popular TV channels – “Studio 1+1” – where she covers the travel section of the morning show “Breakfast with 1+1”. For her, journalism is more of a lifestyle than a job, one that lets her explore her own country as well as others and share her experience with the viewers. Her plan is to create a mobile app to provide users with travel information that will help them discover the amazing variety that Ukraine has to offer but is unknown to most of its people.
