If you’ve been following me along my doubt-filled and a-little-bit-confused journey – first of all hi!!! and thanks, so great to have you here in my space. Second of all, I want to say: You can do it* too! And you don’t need a freakin’ fancy anything plan to do it.. *whatever that it might […]
A lot of the times, I have to remind myself that nothing great ever came from forcing yourself to do anything. No result is ever the be all end all. It’s all about the journey, so why not try a different approach to life? Open and curious exploration. If you are really honest with yourself, […]
I’m back! Ready to roll. YASSS. My cup has been refilled after a hiking, hammocks, and jungle vacation in …. Costa Rica. 4 weeks of nature, nature, nature (and 1 sloth). I needed some adventure in my life – Latin America Edition!!!! The planets aligned and both me and my boyfriend found ourselves with some […]

As I’m reading a cute little romantic fiction situated in Nice (France), I can’t help but think about when I was there a few years back – April of 2015.

Every time I go online I find strong women entrepreneurs and bloggers with websites, videos, and articles that provide me with my daily dose of mojo and sometimes a massive kick in the bum. The […]
I’m not into well thought-out blog posts. I usually hop into my feelings and ride that train. For me, that’s when my best stuff comes out. Plus, a glass of dry white, usually helps. I am just ME. Consistency and being on brand aren’t really my THANG, right now. I get all stressed out when […]
Recently, I was asked to speak at a career seminar for Latin American Studies. I felt honoured to be asked but at the same time a little scared and unsure. What to tell these soon-to-be graduates about life after graduation. I really don’t feel like I got where I wanted to be yet. In the […]
