My name is Natalia Rosiak. I am 42 years old and I come from the Pozna\u0144 area, where I still live and work today. In my free time, I most enjoy splitting my moments between reading books and relaxing in nature – Nordic walking with poles, and in autumn also mushroom picking in beautiful Polish forests, always with a four-legged companion by my side. I love animals, and especially dogs, who have been with me for as long as I can remember.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Life before the blog<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I was 11 when, inspired by my first great passion – building with LEGO – I chose my professional path and started following it already in secondary school. In 2003, I passed my final exams and earned a diploma as a general construction technician at the Pozna\u0144 Construction School Complex No. 1 on Rybaki Street – a five-year school I still remember with great fondness. It was within its walls, thanks to an exceptional Polish language teacher, that I began to write. Back then these were still diaries and very long essays, but even then it was an important step for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2008, I earned an engineering degree in road and bridge construction from the Pozna\u0144 University of Technology. I started my professional career while still at university, and for a long time nothing suggested I would leave the path I had chosen so early. Over the years, however, after repeatedly seeing ideals collide with reality, my passion for construction began to fade. Its place was increasingly taken by another – a love for Italy, discovered in the early 2000s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beginnings of Italia by Natalia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The idea for the blog was born in mid-2012, and the website went live in January 2013. For more than five years, I divided my time between my professional work and running a blog about Italy. However, the growing popularity of the site and the need to make radical changes in my life eventually forced me to make a decision. In May 2018, after twelve years of working on the design, construction, and modernization of roads and bridges in the Greater Poland region, I closed that chapter and went all in on one thing – Italy. Today I know it was one of the best decisions of my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A long road to a strong personal brand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The road to where I am today was long and at times bumpy. It required an enormous amount of work – mostly at a desk, but also out in the field. I visit Italy several times a year, spending a total of many intensive weeks traveling, sightseeing, and gathering material. My digital archive of photos and videos from Italy now contains over 300,000 files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between 2019 and 2025, I wrote and published 9 books – both through self-publishing and in cooperation with a publishing house. Ebooks are available in the shop on my blog<\/a>, and printed books can be purchased, among others, at Empik<\/a> and in the online store of Wydawnictwo Marginesy<\/a>. By choosing the second option, you help both me and the Publisher earn more from our work, without having to give a sizeable commission to Empik.<\/p>

I have also taken part in several public speaking engagements – as a speaker at the travel festival during the World Travel Show trade fair, at closed corporate events, and at author meetings with readers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, stages, cameras, and spotlights are not places where I feel at ease. I am an introvert, and each such event takes a lot out of me emotionally. Writing is completely different – in the quiet of my home office, at a large desk with a monitor and a keyboard under my fingers, I feel at my best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, Italia by Natalia is among the most popular and influential travel blogs in Poland, regularly ranking among the top creators in the Travel category. A large, engaged community of Italy enthusiasts has grown around the blog, and for years they have been using my recommendations and reaching for the books I write. Even though social media is now an important part of the internet and I am present there too, writing has always been, is, and will remain the foundation of my work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
