About me

I am Julie, deeply influenced by my Colombian heritage and my British upbringing, now living in Denmark with my beautiful family.

Mummy of two to a very energetic toddler, a full on teenager and a wife to a not so danish husband.

A dreamer, who struggels to juggle my own ambitions, needs and motherhood.

Join me in my rediscovery journey.
