About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be here now in Beautiful British Columbia.

ABOUT ME

Traveling has been a wicked experience and has lead me to see amazing scenes, meet unforgettable people (including my husband) eat unusual food, re-learn, re-think and ultimately it has taught me how to feel my way through situations.
I am now settled in Canada to focus on my career. Eventually, I will not be able to resist South America for another day, and that will be the next big trip.

PHILOSOPHY

looking to meet the perfectly contented people of foreign lands, you know the ones with the interesting old clothes. the ones whose eyes are full from watching, their ears have finished listening and once their stories told, entertain for a lifetime.
