My name is Monika. I was born in Poland, where I lived and studied untill age of 24. After graduating from University I have moved to England, UK, where I lived for 12 years. In 2016 at 5 star salsa congress I’ve met my love, who lives in Netherlands and the following year I have also moved to Netherlands.

So here I am again, in a new country and starting from the beginning yet again.
‘I’m just a girl in engineering’ was my usual answer to people at work for all uncomfortable questions 😀
The truth is that I could be working in a bank or as accountant after my finance/accountancy college or be a maths teacher after doing my maths degree and I do often ask myself how on earth I ended up in engineering?
I have always been passionate about dancing, even though I put it away for a long time, until 2010, when I found a way to come back to it, what filled my life with joy 😊
Since I remember I’ve also been a passionate reader and student of myself. I also find a joy in writing – be it my journals, letters or emails to friends and always found that people would love whatever I described in my little stories 😍

In the recent few years I have also ‘dug up’ my love for gardening and plants in general. I guess it started in 2014, when I bought my first house in England with a small garden. I discovered that interacting with living beings like plants calms me down, clears my mind and… makes me a happier person 🙂 From garden to house plants was not a long journey. Suddenly an orchid which I received for my birthday in 2012 or 2013 and kept after flowers dropped only because of the pretty pot, decided to flower again in January 2015!  That’s when I fell in love with orchids for good.
