Mika Modrzyńska jest autorką bloga, pisarką, a przede wszystkim zapaloną podróżniczką. Sama pisze o sobie „jestem profesjonalnym poszukiwaczem magii, miłośniczką chmur i przeogromną fanką lodówek, a raczej ich zawartości. Moim życiowym celem jest znalezienie szczęścia. Och, i zostanie pisarką. Bestsellerową pisarką, tak gdzieś na półce z J.K. Rowling”.
Autorka urodziła się w roku 1994, pochodzi z małej wioski na Mazurach. Studiowała lingwistykę stosowaną (spec. angielski i rosyjski) na UKW w Bydgoszczy.

Od tamtej pory jest w ciągłym ruchu. Mieszkała także w Portugal
