Hey, There!
I’m Julie.
Thanks for stopping by.
I started this blog in 2017 as a hobby, I felt that I had so much to share, back then I was a full-time working and studying single mum of one and in need of an avenue to express myself.
A lot has changed for me since 2017, I am no longer a single mum or struggling fulfil my dreams alone. I am now married and a mother of two. My new home is Copenhagen and as I enter a new chapter in my life I thought it appropriate to update my blog and share with you my growth as a woman and as a mother, I also want to share with you the skills I have developed throughout my life, parenting and career.
If you are wondering a little more about me, I grew up in Colombia and moved to the UK, London at the age of 14 with my family. I remember growing up in Colombia as always being sunny, with an empowering smell of my grandma’s petunias, she had them in every colour.
I had my daughter in my early 20’s, before you ask, yes, she was planned. Motherhood at such a young age was tough, I guess age was one of the reasons my relationship broke down and I became a single mum. I had some pretty tough years but I am very fortunate to have an amazing network around me that enabled me to do a little better for myself and my daughter whilst being able to enjoy my life.
Now, I am married to a Dane and we are trying out the Scandinavian way of life. I always dreamed of living somewhere else and when Brexit happen, we thought why not? Scandinavians are supposed to be really happy, have a good work and life balance. I guess maybe now I want to slow down a bit and concentrate on new things, I definitely feel that I am entering a new chapter.
I hope you can join me in my new life journey.
Until next time, stay safe & kind,
Julie x
