The Indonesian woman who fell in love with Poland: the story of Oktaviani Puspita
Poland is becoming home to an increasing number of foreigners who decide to move from distant corners of the world. One such person is Oktaviani Puspita, who comes from Indonesia. She has been living in our country for nine years now and actively shares her experiences of life by the Vistula River.
Oktaviani has gained popularity on social media thanks to her Instagram profile, which she runs under the name @okta.in.poland. In her posts, she shows Poland through the eyes of someone who came from a completely different culture. Her accounts often focus on discovering local customs, cuisine, and the beauty of Polish cities and landscapes.
Her story has become the subject of a new episode of the program "I Love Poland." In the feature, Oktaviani talks about what her beginnings were like in a new country and what surprised her most about everyday life in Poland. The program shows how foreigners find their place in Polish society and which aspects of life in Poland they value the most.
The presence of such people in the public sphere helps build a positive image of Poland abroad. Thanks to social media, Oktaviani inspires other foreigners to visit our country and allows Poles to look at their own homeland from a completely new, fresh perspective.
