Sabina Ostrowska

Sabina Ostrowska was born and raised in Poland. She earned an undergraduate degree from Warsaw University in Poland, a master's degree in the Netherlands at Nijmegen University, and a doctorate from Exeter University in the UK. For the majority of her career, she worked as an English teacher, or EFL (English as a Foreign Language) teacher. She taught high school in Sweden; and primary, secondary, and tertiary levels in the United Arab Emirates. Her last job was a senior lecturer at Khalifa University in Abu Dhabi.
In 2014, she and her husband left Abu Dhabi and became self-employed. They have a small guest house in the middle of the olive groves outside Montefrio. For our audience, Montefrio is a municipality in the province of Granada, which is one of 8 provinces within Andalusia. Andalusia, by the way, has a population of 8.5 Million.
The couple owns a language school in a nearby town of Alcala la Real. Sabina is also a writer and has written textbooks for Cambridge University Press and other non-fiction books. Her book The Crinkle Crankle Wall is the first in a series depicting the couple’s adventures of trying to start a new life among the olive groves in rural Andalusia.
While Sabina’s main hobby is writing non-fiction, she also enjoys long walks and photographing nature. Additionally, she loves art and used to oil paint, but she doesn't have much time for that anymore.
