Meet Monica Landén from @WithRoxy
Monica Landén is originally from Finland. From a very young age, her heart and mind were already set to exactly what she wants to do in her life – travel. And that is exactly what she did!
Monica’s initial trip to Australia at just 13 years old inspired her to think differently. She enjoyed her travel so much; she knew she needed to explore the world! Even at a young age, her parents knew too that she was capable of doing so herself.
Besides discovering various European countries, she spent plenty of time exploring different countries such as Brazil, Mexico, Australia, various parts of Asia, and Northern America.
One of the most memorable turning points of her life took place in Los Angeles, where she met the love of her life, Gabriel M Padilla, four years ago! Since he is from the USA, and she is from Finland, it was quite challenging in the beginning to establish their lives together in a particular location. Luckily, the lovebirds enjoyed traveling together and experienced moving a lot and living in different places in the beginning. The couple was so dedicated to each other that soon after they were finally able to settle together in LA!
Little did the gorgeous travel couple know that they would fall in love again very soon. It was three years ago when they each met the second love of their lives – Roxy, a lovely Husky-German Shepherd mix. Even if Monica and Gabriel knew it was going to be a huge responsibility, they enjoyed every moment of raising her as a puppy. Monica shares that Roxy is never left alone, and hence, has become a significant part of the couples’ great adventures together across the globe.
