#LIKEACHALLENGE 

I'm settling into my new life in Dubai. Finding 'my places', meeting new people and generally excited about the future here. My dear Andy is commuting back and forth from Munich still. I was just texting Maja, my bestie in London, and thanking her for the 1% rule she told be about. Basically, do at least 1% of something each day, rather than nothing. It helps me so much with get things done and staying on track. Even me, the #likeachallenge pro, sometimes has days off. To be

I appreciate the fact that I get some time to myself while travelling for work. I can focus on new projects, properly sit down and think, without any distractions. Day to day, when you got family, friends, bf non stop around you (to be clear, I love being around them) , I just can't progress as fast. Also I love working on flights, minus the internet and scrolling Insta. I'm learning every day how to avoid procrastination. Happens to the best. The 1%/ 5min rule generally help

Living life from one suitcase is a quiet rebellion against clutter, constant need to buy things and the traditional idea that happiness needs square footage. When everything I own fits behind a zipper, my day feels lighter (literally and metaphorically;). I don’t waste time choosing between versions myself hanging in a closet, I simply get dressed and go. To be clear, I still have beautiful pieces in my one bag. Chosen, special, good quality, yet practical. So my style game i

Taking a week off in Sardinia together with friends of Andy. Beautiful home right by the beach. Sunshine, boats, fresh breeze, blue waters. Sardinia is a true gem in Europe. Honestly, the waters are Carribean-like and it's just a couple of hours away from London or Munich. Random relationship advice: food and eating is what keeps a couple together, and of course similar values and expectations in life. But above all, loving good food and eating. The rest is negotiable.

I wished I showed my parents some more love when I was younger. On the bright side, least I've realised how special they are early enough to make up for it and cherish every moment together. The little and big things. They defo weren't perfect, possibly made a few mistakes - or simply I would have approached things differently (and i do) - but there's so many cool things about them! I always text them that I've landed or just about to depart. That is special. I've been worki

A few days full of joyful celebrations and lots of coffee. I attended my goddaughter communion. We see each other quite rarely otherwise (Zosia the little one and her mum Agata, my primary school friend). That's the sad reality of living full-time abroad. I don't think I've been the most consistent of friends in this case, but it does get tough keeping in touch regulary with everyone spread across the globe. Daily life also gets in the way and you somehow naturally grow close

I reached a point in life where I need a new base, somewhere I can really focus on business and actually grow it. I’ve been in the UK for about 16 years (not counting my school years), and I still have a soft spot for it, but I need a fresh boost of energy. And, let’s be honest: more sunshine. A lot more. The UAE is getting a lot of attention lately for it's business friendly environment, Funny enough, I actually was brought up there (yup, I came to Dubai way before everyone

#ThrowbackThursday You know how much I enjoy visiting football stadiums (and opera houses;), don't you? I thought you'd like to see a few vintage photos from my first visit ever to a stadium and live football match: it was a Champions league game at Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid back in 2003 (!). I still vividly remember that Real won 4:2 against Olympique Marseille. I was there with my parents, and with Ronaldo, Zidane, Beckham playing on the field. Feels very special now, exa
