About Monika Andrea Minaroy
Indonesian living in Italy with 2 children. With many years of experiencing diverse cultures, I am a reflective, adaptable, and open-minded person.
I left my home in Indonesia to study in the Netherlands, where I was confronted with a new culture, language, and way of life. Living far from my family for the first time, I needed to stand on my own while juggling multiple jobs to support myself and finish my studies. That’s also where I met my partner, he is originally from Italy. It was an experience that opened me to the beauty and complexity of intercultural relationships.
When I returned home, I faced the unique challenge of readjusting to my own culture and living again with my family after years of being abroad. I also needed to navigate the long-distance relationship and the emotional weight of international marriage bureaucracy.
Since then, I’ve built a family, first in Switzerland, before we decided to settle in Italy, wanting our children (one is born in 2021 and another one is born in 2025) to grow up close to their paternal roots. I live daily with the joys and challenges of blending values and traditions, and of passing down my own language and culture.
Becoming a parent in a foreign land has led me to discover the deep, often invisible layers of motherhood far from home: navigating birth and early parenting without my own family nearby, while adapting to a new culture and building a sense of belonging in a new country.
