After 6 long years, we finally made it back to El Salvador. The place where my mum is from, my roots. That place so dear to my heart, the place I only share with family, a place I talk about but never shared with anyone else. I have been going to El Salvador since I’m [...]
The famous Vespa trip in Italy. For more than 3 years I have seen this ad on my Insta. Casually driving with a cute Vespa during summer discovering the beautiful Tuscany. The dream, but up to spring of 2021, I didn’t really make an effort to look into it until I saw the ad again [...]
It doesn’t feel like it, but just like that I reached the thirties. I wouldn’t say that I couldn’t wait to turn thirties, nonetheless, I did feel like I was reaching a turning point in my life. A positive one. I feel like the best things are yet to come and I feel so grateful [...]
I can’t believe it’s been a year since the surgery for the endometriosis. Let’s be honest, I thought the surgery was the end of my problem and my pain. Little did I know that I was only entering the beginning of my physical and mental journey … again. I know I’m not cured, I know [...]

The new year didn’t start in the best way and after 15 days of isolation I can tell you my mind started going crazy... or crazier, depends how you see it! The only thing I was thinking was how much I wanted to go out of the house. Plus it had been snowing in the [...]
1 year of feeling like myself, 1 year of healing, 1 year of self-love, 1 year of doing the hell I want to do! That's exactly how I can describe the first year in my cute apartment. I remember when I found the apartment. I had seen so many already that didn't convince me or [...]
After a complicated month of September and spending the summer working it was time for me to take some time off. The purpose: do nothing but rest, read, sun and beach. With Covid, the option were limited but we ended in South of Portugal, the Algarve region, to enjoy the last week of summer. My [...]
Was I in denial? Was I naive? Did my positive mindset help? Or was I just able to control my mind? I don't know. What I do know is, that from the moment I had the appointment with my surgeon, I was calm. I listened to what they were going to do. I listened to [...]
