Dominika Wilus – Property Inspector

My name is Dominika. I’ve always been full of energy, excited about everything life has to offer. I find joy in the simplest things—whether it’s the sun rising over a new day or the calming stretch of a yoga session. My mornings usually begin with a deep breath the kind that makes me feel connected to nature which I absolutely love. I’m happiest when I’m outdoors. Whether I’m hiking through a dense forest or walking along the beach feeling the breeze in my hair there’s a sense of peace that washes over me. In those moments I feel like I truly belong to the world around me. The rhythm of nature matches how I feel—wild, free and always moving. Every step I take outside is an adventure a reminder that life is full of beauty, wonder and endless possibilities.
