Are You Planning to Move to Dominican Republic?

Recently we’ve had the great pleasure of chatting with Justyna Cyrankiewicz, an intersectional, talented and young woman. Justyna sort of shaped her career in a way that combines her major interests which are: art, technology, design, writing, activism (environmental and social), mental health, and wellbeing. She calls herself a storyteller due to the lack of a proper term that would adequately describe what she does and where she is headed on her professional path. She sees a strong value in smart volunteering and a multidisciplinary approach toward careers.
