The day I‘m speaking of my company has to come finally🤣 Years of planning, dreaming, years of building it and making sure it works before I brag about it. I believe that you should not brag about anything that is not sure to survive its first years. After 4 years I can confirm, we survived, we move forward, we do it our way! Sometimes it‘s tricky as we have to invent new ways, but with years of experience, well it works better in many ways than another huge corporate agency. And after all, we are having a lot of fun! Because this is what life meant to be, right? An adventure

My best photo describing my love to Paris is here for me to try to be back to social life somehow. When little Karolina dreamed to live in Paris when she was 6, she could imagine the life im living now (i would say « she could not » but it would be a huge lie, as kids are way more fearless qnd brave in their dreams than « adults ». I want to remind all of us by this post about the most important part of our personality : the person we were as a child. The little human, who knew WHERE he wants to be, WHY and WHO. Maybe we could not verbalise it and made a strong argumentation (but this is the only thing + anxiety🤣 that distinguishes adults from children) and i would argue about the importance of that skills vs saving an inner child. Life teaches us a lot of lessons, some of them are harder than others and therefore its harder to stay yourself = to protect the child inside. The one who dreams, who imagines, who play, who dare to reach the dream, play and the limit of imagination. But if, with all the painful and shitty rollercoasters of my life (life wasn’t a cotton candy for me huh😅) I managed to move to the city of my dreams, to open my agency (such a crazy move still) its only thanks to inner child who kept choosing “crazy” path for an adult but the only true path for herself. The decisions i made were not safe/clear/weighted and with some of them i am learning to live still but they brought me exactly to the moment when this photi was taken: Me in my apartment (rented, but hold on) in central Paris, looking to the very bright future, loaded with lots of emotions, friends, impressions and experiences. As an adult would I choose to have my own business? No. Would I risk it all to leave my career and move to Paris having ZERO contacts and friends? No. Would I be happy? I highly doubt so. Would I be myself? No, for sure. So for anyone out there, who needs to be reassured: follow your dreams and don’t try to find 1000 proofs and arguments to do what you want to do. This is not how it works. Trying to find yourself after years of longing in “adulthood” can be a maze, but there is a way to Disneyland. I checked.

Here it is the new adventure of Karolina in Cannes. Inbetwewn business meetings with clients & suppliers I like to spend my time helping people in need… A little effort for me, a huge hope for people of Cannes In this new episode you will see how i saved a precious cat from being lost in the sand What will be my next deed? To be continued… 🤣🤣

As it started to be a tradition: 4th Birthday in the city of my dreams. Wow, understanding this is really happening in my life is still a shock for a little girl, who said “i will be living in Disneyland, when I grow up!”. Well, I chose my path saying this🤣 Im not living in Disneyland physically, but look at my life! Isn’t it a roller coaster magic world with a show every night? I am the happiest person in the world, surrounded by magic creatures, princesses and princes, fighting with dragons and petting magic animals. Yes, im calling European bureaucracy system- a dragon and my agency’s clients- magic animals. All right 😆 This year was a … trip. I don’t complain, I choose my life, even I haven’t had a clue about what it is to be an immigrant, but I either haven’t had a clue what it is to be a multi-national person with a Russian passport in 2023. Do i really care about all of the obstacles that I meet in life? I do not. I am grateful for the great experience that i have been given and for all of the opportunities, experience, knowledge that I have received from this. I am amazed by the people who support me, people who are willing to share their journey with me and people who choose me as a friend again and again. Even if i am who i am. I am super happy to live my life, I am enormously (can we say that?) happy to have my friends, I love you so much! Thank you for being my friends! Thank you for changing me every day to become who I am. Thank you to be you! Love Paris, Love world, Love everything. Okay, that’s too sweet now. I hate lines in Disneyland. Now good! 28, let’s go check it out! Photo by talented @juliaivashkina ❤️✨

The healing power of the train. Always felt better here. If only i could, i would spend a healing jorney in a never stopping train. Thoughts stop running crazy in a train, everything takes its place, life becomes full of joy and I believe in myself again. Train moves me forward even though I’m sitting still. No matter what I have in my luggage, no matter what i left behind - I’m moving. Landscapes, cities and memories flicker outside the window. And I remain unharmed, protected by the train. I am still rushing forward to an unknown future in a known port. Train has a superpower. You see everything around but you move forward. Maybe we should be trains for ourselves? Or at least for someone else

Never could choose between work and vacation

Tiny details are making difference between knowing who you are and merging with the crowd and “society rules”. Do you know why you are different? Or you are just following undercurrents? Photo From @umawangofficial show

The only way to get stress away is a dozen tonnes of humour. I’ve always been thankful to my amazing family who taught me how to deal with shit in life. Which is the most important part of the parenting. No matter what goes wrong I can always find great things about it. And fun. No worries dears, i am accepting emotions and going through:) Just not demonising all the tiny moments of life and not complaining about my cup. If its full it’s cool, if it’s half - that’s life, if it’s empty i can fill it with anything i want. Right?) Funny moments of life are about one step from loosing your documents. Which is why I am going to be the best writer of the decade when i will finally write my book. I’ve seen so many unsolving issues and gone through so i can create strories full of fun, knowledge of humans, life changes abd Philosophie. Let’s hope i will find myself a time in between American roller coaster of my life to write all amazing things that i know. And i wanted to say. There is no stress if you dont demonise it. Its just shit and shit has to be cleaned. Don’t show it to everyone it will just stink more. And my favourite illustration of my motto by @_carlofernandes

Birthday gone but cake just arrived:) This year everything is different for everyone. A lot of things gone out of control but even if it’s strange to read, I think all happens for the good, we just need to wait to see why and where it brings us. I am used to meet “my day” with close friends who is building myself and my life through the years, adding their minds and approaches to my vision. That’s why this year was huge difference for me(among all other things of course) : I haven’t seen this friends in a while. I am thankful that my beloved friends came to me. I am thankful that with those who I haven’t seen we are still connected. No matter what happened and where we are. I am thankful for new friends I’ve met. I believe that I changed a lot. That makes my friendship even more valuable - we change but we still love each other. We still connect. This is the puzzle of life - to find your connections with other people. It’s beautiful, amazing, difficult and makes me happy. It was a hard year. I wouldn’t make it without friends and family around. Framily:) Thank you for your patience, help, support and love. Let’s see what next year will look like❤️
