We were lucky to catch up with POLINA GALKINA recently and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, POLINA thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. What do you think it takes to be successful?
Success, to me, is all about sticking with it and going after what really lights your fire. It’s usually the folks who want it the most who end up making it. People might call it luck, but it’s about going all in and making things happen when you’re genuinely passionate about something.
POLINA, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
I’m Polina @rocknroamgirl, and I’m all about embracing life, staying present, and radiating positivity. You’ll find me on social and my blog, where I spill the beans on awesome travel ideas and destinations.
Nature and travel light up my world. When I’m out exploring, it’s like I’m in my element, soaking in every moment and truly connecting with people and places.
My mission? To share that infectious excitement of discovery with others. I’m all about pushing people to step out and explore the world, and of course, I’ve got your back with travel guides and destination suggestions. It’s about inspiring you to grab life by the horns and see what’s out there. That’s what makes my corner of the internet unique, and I’m darn proud of it!
For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?
I’m a strong believer that creativity is innate in each of us, and it’s a fire that should burn bright throughout our lives. Discover an activity that immerses you in the flow, and dive in headfirst! For me, it’s photography and content creation. I’m all about exploring creativity in various flavors: from capturing the raw beauty of nature and those magical travel moments to crafting social ads for brands.
What really gets me going is immersing myself in a brand, understanding their vision and products, and falling head over heels for them. Then, I get to share this incredible find with my online community. It’s a win-win!
There are moments when I’m downright star-struck when I get the chance to collaborate with brands that have been a part of my life forever. I mean, as a teen, I could’ve never, in a million years, pictured myself working with them. It’s wild!
Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?
I think solo traveling and moving to a different country on my own showcases my resilience in the best way. From early on, I understood that independence is not hard, but liberating. It’s helpful in different aspects of life – from changing your career to getting out of toxic relationships.
This journey has taught me that true strength lies in embracing change and taking bold steps toward the unknown. It’s about trusting myself, my instincts, and my ability to adapt. And I find the best way to put this courage and independence into practice is through solo traveling. It’s here, in the midst of new landscapes and cultures, that I’ve truly discovered the depth of my own resilience.
