Welcome to
MY LIFE DIARIES
Place where I share stories from my life as a Ukrainian living in Germany — the happy, the awkward, the unexpected and the beautiful.
If you’re an overthinker, a daydreamer or someone who’s figuring life out as you go — you’re in the right place.
Cologne, Germany
A little about me
Hi, I’m Iana!
Ukrainian expat in Cologne, chronic overthinker, cat lover and coffee addict. I write about expat life, mental health, ADHD and all the messy, funny, real moments in between.
