Kiedy wracam myślami do Włoch, przypominają mi się kawiarenki z najlepszą kawą na świecie i wczesne poranki z chrupiącym croissantem. W Rzymie spoglądasz na kawał historii, patrząc na cudowną architekturę czułam ten ogromny upływ czasu. W Watykanie byłam trzy razy, swój początek kariery złożyłam u grobu św. Jana Pawła II, przy drugiej wizycie miałm już owoce swojego talentu na siebie w postaci szalu z własnym designem i kilku sukcesów w branży polskiego show biznesu. Dla nas górali, Polaków to drugi dom i duma. Dziękuję i pozdrawiam wszystkich.
