Hi, I’m Jolanta — born in a small town called Skuodas in Lithuania, where life was simple, but my dreams were always big. I’ve been incredibly lucky to travel the world and live in several countries over the years. Every culture, every challenge, and every connection has shaped the person I am today.
From a very young age, life tested me…But I refused to see myself as a victim. I believed, deep down, that every difficult experience was a lesson—an opportunity to grow, to rise, and to build something better.
I’ve worked hard all my life—and I’ve always studied too. I hold multiple degrees from different universities, and I’ve earned more certifications than I can count (I often joke that if I ever need wallpaper, I’ve got enough certificates to cover an entire wall!). Still, the most valuable lessons have always come from life itself:
- Raising my daughter as a single mum.
- Learning how to love from a distance when she was far away.
- Starting over in new countries and adapting to new cultures—again and again.
My professional life has been rooted in hospitality for over 30 years, where I grew from the ground up. I’ve also explored my creativity and business instincts through interior design, home staging, and work in the real estate industry.
For the past 18 years, I’ve called beautiful New Zealand home. And now, I’m lucky to be living a life that stretches across two continents—New Zealand and Europe—following the sun and embracing all the adventure, culture, and balance that comes with it.
At the heart of it all, I’m a proud mother of two beautiful children, a loving wife, and a grandmother to a bright, energetic grandson who fills our lives with laughter and joy.
Everything I’ve been through—every high and low—has led me here. And today, I’m on a mission to help others find their version of success, freedom, and fulfilment. Because no matter where you’re starting from, or what life has thrown your way, it’s never too late to build something beautiful and truly yours.
