🌸The spring is here → Let's celebrate creativity, (ad)venture, and co-creation.🫱🏻‍🫲🏼

Dear Creative Mind!

I was just reflecting today on the privilege of being alive in this time and space that has been given to us. You see, when I was born, the likelihood of me sitting here today in the comfort of my apartment in a free country, using a language that has become one of my favorites over the years, seemed like something from a highly imaginative fairy tale. I was born in a place that did not breathe freedom and creativity for generations. The very idea of me living abroad one day, speaking foreign languages, and having a passport that would allow me to travel to most countries in the world, was—quite frankly—non-existent.

But here am I.

This day, 20 years ago, was one of the best days of my life. The country where I was born, along with other countries (Cyprus, Czechia, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia), joined the EU.
Yes, we can discuss for ages the flaws in our politics, the challenges our nations face, and everything else.

But on that day, my friends, everything changed for me. I was in high school and I knew that now I would have the chance to travel freely and study abroad. As a little girl, I always knew that one day I would live abroad, travel, speak languages, and explore.

Even today, I can't help but feel like it's still just day one and just the beginning for me. The more I learned and studied, the less I knew. The more I traveled, the less I understood about the world. The more I healed, the less I accepted conventional ways of healing. The more I thought, the more foolish I felt, realizing that I knew nothing and didn't feel that I needed to.

So today, I celebrate new beginnings, new paths and horizons, and all the (ad)ventures that are yet for me to co-create and all the places that are yet for me to discover.

I'm just so grateful for all the opportunities I was blessed with after Poland joined the EU, and I'm so excited about the future!

And here one of my favourite pictures taken by Monica Laurence last November at Savusavu Airport in Fiji.

🌟 Join me for a creative interview 🎉

In the last few weeks, I had the pleasure of interviewing remarkable individuals. All the conversations have shown me how little I know about life and the world, and how being curious and creative helps me to embrace new ideas and possibilities both personally and for the communities I serve. Here you can find some of the published interviews.

If you're interested in being interviewed by me, you know how to find me 🤩

P.S. As many of you asked me how we can collaborate. I created a post about it on Linkedin here.

🚶‍♂️✨ A Journey for the Millions: 150km from Orléans to Paris ✨🚶‍♀️

This July, I will take on a challenge with profound meaning: The Great Walk organised by #HomelessEntrepreneur together with Andrew Funk Erik Eklund Jérôme Lafond Sebastian Martinazioli 

From the historic streets of Orléans, the city of Joan of Arc, to the heart of Paris, each step of this 150km journey over 5 days is dedicated to the 150 million people living without a home.

It's more than a walk; it's a march towards hope, raising awareness about the global homelessness crisis and igniting action for change.

Join us on this path:

✨ Donate: Support our cause and help us provide relief and solutions for those in need.
✨ Partner: Unite with us. Together, we can extend our reach and deepen our impact.

Dive into the details and see how you can contribute to this pivotal moment at ➡️ The Great Walk July 2024 - Summer Olympics France.

Every step counts, every action matters. Together, we walk for change. 🤝

In the meantime, may the power, creativity & AI be with you!
