About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Dream as if you will live forever; live as if you will die today.

ABOUT ME

When i was in high school i had a friend that was really spontaneous and crazy. Everyone used to say that she was really weird.

One day i asked her why she never bother answering back to those kids and she told me: I like people saying that I’m weird, that means that I’m different. I will worry the day they say nothing to me because it will mean that I am just as everybody else.

That day I understood that she was fearless about life, she was so comfortable in her own skin, I admired her, I wanted to be like her. From that day on I had a mission, being different, being me. It took me several years until I found my true self. That was one of the best things I ever made in my life, the best part is that I got to learn so much about me when traveling. Traveling changed my life.

I love to travel alone.

In these years I’ve learn that you can only find yourself when facing the unexpected and your worst fears by yourself. I’ve learned so much about myself, about life and I can say that now I feel free, I feel authentic and I love it.

Life right now is focused on my career but I long everyday for the day that I can leave everything to travel the world.

I want to know everything, I’ve always been curious. I like art, cultures, languages, food… the idea that everything means just the opposite in another part of the world.

We are so tiny, our existence is just a mere sight in time, life is too short not to enjoy it. Plus, nothing is certain but death, why wait??

Yes, I’m a dreamer and a bit of a romantic… is just that I love being alive!

Some years ago I realized that I wasn't living the life I wanted. I got comfortable in the way things where and found difficult to change my habits. A change was needed. So I wrote a list of all the things, places and adventures I wanted to have. That is my mission in life now, crossing everything on that list so when I’m old I can look back and say "damn! I had a good, interesting life".

Now, i work hard so i can travel and do as much as i want from that list. I have the time and the energy so, lets do it!

I also think that i am funny (but I’ll let you be the judge of that) and i like to laugh and dance for no reason. Beware because i am also the girl that takes pictures and video of everything (when I’m old i can remember the good times).

More (random) facts about me:
- I love technology
- Love to write about my trips (yes! I carry around my diary in every trip)
- I do believe there is life out there in universe.
- I am a bit geeky&nerdy
- Craft and DIY lover
- I like teaching
- Self-taught photo & video editor
- I’m in love with nature, is just so majestic and beautiful
- Always travel with a camera because I love landscape photography
- EDM Lover (eat, sleep, rave repeat!)

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy life as much as you can.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Many years ago i went camping with my family. We were able to see a meteor shower. It was amazing.

Went solo to UMF, met amazing people, had the time of my life.

Went to EDC Las Vegas and fell in love with the electric sky.

Visited New York for the first time on a solo trip.

Teach, Learn, Share

- One thing that i can share is that traveling for the first time is scary. When i was about to leave for my exchange semester i had a lot of mixed feelings, most of it fear. But in the end it was one of the greatest experiences in my life. TRAVEL! is the best thing you can do for yourself.

- Other thing. Never make your traveling plans depending on other people, if you wait for someone else to decide if traveling is a good idea you might never get out of your city.
