explored the world of jewelry and accessories, she  traveled the world looking for trends, techniques, ways to improve and refine this art; She lived for many years in China, Hong Kong, New York and   England;   and   in  Colombia  she  was  always  present  in  all

Around 8 years, she went many places showing the best of herself,

from language, through customs and even religion, which for many people this can be difficult when carrying a relationship; however, for them love can overcome these obstacles. 

Ceyhan is a Turkish artist and designer, he has worked all his life with blown glass and he has made creations from this, just as Monica always looked for ways to create interesting and innovative things, traveled many parts of the world and attended the same events that Monica, however, destiny wanted them to meet in 2015 and join their lives.

People who have intercultural relationships are nourished and grow from the culture of the other person, leaving the comfort zone is not easy, but when the benefits are even greater, Monica is Colombian and Ceyhan, Turkish, the differences are 

LEARNINGS

Learning a language implies, at the beginning , having a different universe to understand other kind of things

Monica and Ceyhan have worked in various parts of the world, getting to know other cultures and learning from them,  this has allowed them to have a culturally open mind than traditionally. "Learning a language implies, at te beginning,  having a different universe to understand other kinds of things." Communication is important for every relationship, and this time English is the fundamental bridge for everything. "Everything flowed super well, however, we put a lot of Spanish and Turkish words and expresions into our conversations; all the expressions of affection we say in Spanish "

Since she began her relationship with Ceyhan, she has nourished herself spiritually and personally. She left her comfort zone to fulfill her dreams. She comes from a traditionally Catholic family and, Ceyhan, from a traditionally Muslim family, that is why she wanted to learn and feel that new world.

For a year he learned new ways of seeing the world, customs, rites and beliefs that would later be the basis of his new religion. Some things were not easy, but she discovered what filled her and assures that her relationship with God, to this day, is the same as always. Monica has never been to Holy Idols, Angels, etc..  Alah and God are the same person for her, and the magical things she has felt being Muslim are unparalleled, for example, making the Oruç with her  family.

"Each person has their moment, this is my moment."

One of the many reasons why Monica fell in love with Turkish culture is the family, because in Turkish culture this is very important, Ceyhan's family is her family and the love she feels for them is fundamental, every day she learns of women in the family, in their way of cooking and thinking. It has put in the center the growth and the union of the family; while, in Colombia, according to her, marriages (in many cases) very folkloric and "Lights" to the point that divorce is completely normal, while in Turkey, of 50 marriages only 1 divorces.

At this moment she is studying Turkish, she is in constant communication with Colombia for the management of her enterprise and at the same time she is a housewife, she is looking after her family, the food, the health and the development of each one of them. For many people and women the idea of ​​being a housewife is not good . At this point the world views are completely different. While some think to go ahead professionally and to grow professionally; For many Turkish families, women are responsible for the growth, physical, mental and spiritual development of children, they are completely dedicated to training them from childhood to guarantee their future, even if this means leaving aside their professional life.

Many times people generalize to what is different, however, Monica emphasizes that each couple is different and therefore the things and agreements within the relationship only depend on them. "Each person has their moment, this is my moment".

For her in Colombia many young people live difficult problems that weaken society, such as violence, drugs, bulliying, depression, for her that because of , parents and especially the mother was not with them and did not accompany them in their process of development. the woman nannies only take care of, but the parents have the responsibility to take care and teach , to spend quality time and to focus on the family. Now, Monica and Ceyhan are planning to have babies and fulfill more dreams together.
