My Story and How I got here.

“Every risk is worth taking as long as it’s for a good cause, and contributes to a good life.”

-Richard Branson-

Hi! My name is Martina, but my family and friends call me Tina. Originally, I come from Slovakia, where I lived until I pursued a Bachelor in Law. During my studies, I realized I would love to try living abroad, so I packed my things and left for Denmark.

I took a risk, in 2015 I moved to Denmark, worked as a dishwasher for a year until I got accepted to the University to finish my dream Master´s Program, which would open the door to the Security field. 

I completed a Master in International Security and Law at the University of Southern Denmark in 2018. This is where my life as a student officially ended and the real-life had begun. In the meantime, I fell in love with Denmark, its culture, people and decided to build my life from scratch here.

In 2020 I started my own website  Empowerment Journey, today called female impact., which represents a place where I can share with you my journey as an ex-pat living in the beautiful capital of Denmark, but mostly I want to explore topics that I am passionate about, learn about the complexity of the problems based on research and facts while adding my own opinion.

Through my journey as an ex-pat for over 9 years, I have gained a whole new perspective on my personal life and world around me. This website is the beginning of exploring and shaping my perspective on the topics that matter to me the most.

By empowering myself first I allow myself to empower others by sharing my vulnerabilities, opinions and stories. That is the ultimate goal, vision, and mission.
