CURRENT MISSION

changing the world, one trip at a time

ABOUT ME

People will always say tons of things about yourself. But well, they say good stuff and bad stuff and usually just half of it is true in both cases. So I try to stay focused on being myself, whatever that may be. I really enjoy hanging out with different types of people, I adore everything related to traveling and different cultures. Since I was a little kid I've enjoyed reading and writing which led me to my English Lit and Linguistics major. I love eating out and concerts, rock and indie music, adventures and plans made on the minute.

PHILOSOPHY

Friend of my friends, irrational lover, innate caretaker and insecure most of the time. A good girl, jolly and lovely at the end of the day.Of Melancholic nature, my soul has finally found its deepest and eternal satisfaction in Jesus Christ. And after 32 years, I'm still learning how to smile, enjoying every minute and treasuring it as a gift.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It is very difficult to choose since I think the best is yet to come but:

-the great ocean walk: 5 days, 105 kms through beach and bush, staying next to a snake nest and pushing myself to the limit… unforgettable!

-Torres del paine: My first ever trek, and planning to repeat it soon..

-The first time I saw NYC's skyline: I must admit, my heart was filled up with emotion. A long time dream was coming to fruition, and the city looked amazing. After the first step in that magical city, I felt I belonged. And I realized I was meant to be on the move.

-Tokyo Tower: When I saw it glowing there, I realized that my long awaited trip to Asia was true, that I wasn't daydreaming.
