hi, I'm Kasia.
Writer. Settler. Relocator. Professional starter-over.
Author of The Art of Making Life More Complicated
I'm a writer, relocator and professional starter-over who has lived in six countries.
I'm also the author of The Art of Making Life More Complicated — a humorous memoir about chasing home, making questionable decisions and discovering that life rarely goes according to plan (thankfully).
The Art of Making Life More Complicated
and Other Skills I Never Meant to Master
Six countries, two houses I don't live in, three dogs and one lifelong search for the meaning of home.
