A curious European citizen
In my Polish life, I was both a librarian and a clothing designer. In my Swedish life, I was a digital strategist and project manager. In my Greek life, I was a real estate agent, photographer and brand developer. My experiences from countries I have lived in before, assignments I have had, people I have met – all this makes me who I am today: a flexible and curious European citizen.
From January 2026, I opened a whole new chapter in my life. My last company "HouseFinders Peloponnese" ended on the last of December 2025. You can read more about that on my blog: “Farewell HouseFinders”. It was an absolutely wonderful experience and neither I nor Elias (my husband and partner) would want to be without it.
But now it's time for myself. And for my family. More time with my husband Elias and our dog Estia, more time for children and grandchildren. More time for friends. I am looking forward all that. You can read more about Elias and my trip from Sweden to Greece on the blog: “Once Mani, always Mani”. After all these years as a self-employed , it's time to learn to ‘discover the art of being myself’.
There will certainly be more time for photography and certainly for immersing myself in the beautiful but difficult Greek language. So, I will be taking a lot of Greek lessons. I am also considering starting to design clothes in linen fabrics and I will certainly paint on fabrics. It all begins with an idea and I am looking forward to discover myself.

From my Instagram. Taking a photo (almost) every day is a little ritual that honours the everydayness of my life. Over time, these images become an archive of moods, weather and small everyday events, showing the value of each day. My Instagram account also visualises for me how grateful I should be for the life I live.
