When my feet took a break to let my taste buds tra

When my feet took a break to let my taste buds travel through all the Spanish flavors 😋 Traveling and discovering... it's way more than seeing things. It's smelling, tasting, learning, meeting, hearing, etc. All my senses are always celebrating 🎊

Here are some Spanish specialities 🤤

1. Paella, at @hmvegano
2. Croquetas, at @bubita_sangriabar
3. "Sea food" plate, at @bubita_sangriabar

Life is full of surprises ⚡️ Good ones 🎁 Bad ones 💣 The nomad aspect spices it up immensely 🌶🔥 I've had a lot of them both along the way; and right now, it was time for a bad one to happen. But often, in life, there's still a bright side. I'm leaving Spain 1 month and half before I thought I would, but I'm on my way to my country, to a city I've been wanting to go to for the first time for years now, and most importantly, I'm on my way to see a wonderful friend 🥰

I'm terrible at looking back to enjoy my achieveme

I'm terrible at looking back to enjoy my achievements 😔 I grew up thinking that nothing I would ever do would be enough anyway, that's what I had been taught, so why would I stop to reflect? To beat myself up even more that I was already doing on a daily basis? Slowing down was too risky, and taking a break, even a tiny one, was way too dangerous. Keep running and ignoring feelings were two tools out of my coping mechanisms box, to go through life. I've been on Surviving mode for as long as I can remember. But these past few years I've tried a bit.

I struggle a lot, but I guess it takes practice. We often want to change something in a blink of an eye when it took a lot of years to build that something. Patience is key.

Here I am sitting in a park in Madrid, watching the sunset, thinking... 🤔

▪︎ Created my own company 🌟
▪︎ Lived in different countries very different from mine 🌏
▪︎ Stand up for myself 💪
▪︎ Jumped out of a plane 🪂
▪︎ Lived among dangerous snakes, spiders, weird insects and other lovely wild animals 🐍
▪︎ Learned a all lot about more subjects than I could count 🤯
▪︎ Met wonderful people that will stay in my heart forever 🥰
▪︎ Tried some delicious exotic and unkown food 🍽
▪︎ Seen magical landscapes 🤩
▪︎ Discovered I'm capable of everything 👑

That's the first 10 things I did that I can think of, during these past 6 months. None of it was easy. None of it happened out of luck. But all of it is worth stopping for, to be grateful and proud of.

Don't get me wrong though. I also sweat a lot, met not so nice people, cried in a corner at an airport, got very stressed, worked a fucking lot, struggled with luggage, went crazy about the insects everywhere getting in my plate and glass, the spider that settled on my toilet or the one that took my toothbrush and hairbrush hostage 🕷 Among other things. It's just not the first 10 things that came to my mind, surprisingly 😅

Do you ever stop and look back? It doesn't have to be big to be an achievement that you should be proud of. All the big things are a combination of small things. I'm pretty sure you don't look at your past with the right mindset either. Let's celebrate ourselves more 🍾🎊

6 months 🗓 I've always had a thing for this per

6 months 🗓 I've always had a thing for this period of time. Scared to have less than this planned for my future. But anxious to have more. For an unknown reason, it has always felt like a reasonable time to manage. Enough to make it through without panicking, not too much to be too disappointed. You can do a lot in 6 months, but you can't set goals that are too high and that you might not reach. Enough to make some improvements, not too much to be a complete disaster.

I had 6 months planned when I moved to France 🇨🇵 When I moved to Ireland 🇮🇪 When I went to Asia 🌏

I remember gigs I wanted to go to being announced and not buying tickets because it was more than 6 months later. I've lived a lot of my life thinking "I don't know what I'll be doing, where I'll be".

For the first time as an "adult", I don't have my next 6 months planned right now, and I'm OK with that. Just a rought idea though, let's not get too crazy 🙈
This is a sign of growth to me 🌟

Maybe next time I'll try to plan more, and see how I manage. Because it has always been really tiring, the unknown. But can you really plan where you're going to be in one year? And more? I see many people doing it, I'll have to learn I guess. That gives me things to work on in the future, to keep life interesting 😅

I made an honest mistake and unexpectedly kind of

I made an honest mistake and unexpectedly kind of ended up in the corporate world these past 2 months 🤦‍♀️ From experience, and talks with people, including psychologists that unfortunately deal a lot with the consequences of it on their patients, I think this is a shitty world. Sadly, this new experience did not change my mind 😔 It confirmed, not that I had any doubt, that leaving months ago was the best idea. Crazy how some environments and people can be toxic, no matter the country. I’m glad that I left this type of workplace and chose peace, respect (towards myself & others), kindness, and quality job, among other things. I do believe there are some great companies out there, but they are a minority.
I cherish my freedom, my independence, my kindness, and my honesty more than ever. And all my core values in general 🧡 There is no way I’m letting anyone destroy that again. Months ago, a lot of people told me I was brave, and I couldn’t really understand why. I’m starting to get it now!

I thought I was joining nice people around a great project for 2 months. Turns out I was not, and that’s completely ok. But I’m also very relieved and happy it was short (felt long though) and it’s over 😥 Honest mistakes are ok, but don’t let them last!

After months filled with joy, love, wonderful discoveries, amazing people, professional and personal fulfillment, and so much more positivity, in the North of Thailand and Laos, it was tough but still interesting. During these past 2 months in the South of Thailand I've also had great adventures, seen beautiful landscapes, and I’ve had many victories over big challenges. I mean… I was completely ok being few centimeters away from a big python and other snakes!! Just that in itself, and anyone that knows me well can confirm, is THE BIGGEST THING ever!!

I’ve done so many things I never thought I would or could these past 6 months. Now I’m sitting at the airport, on my way to new adventures, grateful for what happened, excited for what’s to come, struggling to fully realize all the milestones and things that I made happen in this new life of mine on the road so far! 😃

Goodbye SE Asia, see you again in the future 🙏

This is what happens when you take me out of the tropical evergreen forest jungle to go to the urban one for 3 days. You can judge me, I don't care 🤷🏼‍♀️😆😋

Last month for my birthday, I thought that I could

Last month for my birthday, I thought that I could buy myself flowers, it’s trendy 💐 but instead I went with a 1-year visa to go to New Zealand 🇳🇿 A bit pricier but hopefully more meaningful in my life’s story 🤞

Turned out to be a bit of a nightmare along the way; who knew that living in the jungle in the south of Thailand could make administrative tasks a hell? Made me have to experience a high level of stress, destroy the planet a bit to reach Bangkok quickly (after all my efforts to travel only by land these past few months, I can’t even tell you how I feel about that right now 😭), be absolutely crushed while being isolated (makes the experience 1000 times worse), and go to a very religious hospital where I felt out of place, for them to tell me that my lungs, chest bones and heart are extremely healthy (at least this bad situation didn’t go as far as me learning I had 1-month left to live!! Even if it may be the case, who knows?) To list only these aspects of this all crappy situation.

I ended up getting the visa though, woop woop 🥳 The hope now is that the worse is behind, and all will go well from now on (a girl can dream as they say…) I’m going to keep the positive in mind and let go of the rest (might take a little while though, I’m only human).

Just sharing this to remind everyone that no, not everything go smoothly for others and wrong for you. And to be as real as possible around here and not just sharing the highs.
I was really on the verge of a mental breakdown about this for a few days last week, or maybe it just seems worth when you’re in it, drowning in the shit, I don’t know 💩🤷🏼‍♀️

Anyway, if you’re thinking about applying for a NZ visa and you are, or have been, in countries with a high risk of TB, be ready.

And if you’ve been to New Zealand and want to share your tips and all, I’m all ears! (or all eyes on my DMs if you prefer, I don’t take calls, these past few months made me overcome a lot of fears and all but I’m not an entirely other person either 🙈🤣)

PS: I have a bit of time to activate that new precious visa of mine so don’t expect me there too soon, I still have a lot of ideas and projects to make happen before 😁

Many people dream of travelling the world 🌎 See

Many people dream of travelling the world 🌎 Seeing incredible cliffs, swimming in turquoise water, discovering cultures, spotting incredible wildlife creatures, climbing beautiful mountains, relaxing in pristine places, etc. 🌊
They dream of it, work to have the money to do it... But not all of them put the same energy into making sure there will be a world to experience. Not just for the future generations, but for ourselves included. Humans' negative impact on the planet is not something that will be tangible in years. It is already here, obvious everywhere, right now 😣

No step is too small if it's a step in the right direction 👣 You have a huge power through what you do. Stop single-use plastic, recycle, buy eco-friendly beauty & cleaning products, shop local, eat more plant-based food, avoid fast fashion, do ethical activities, support a good cause, pick up your trash, use biodegradable stuff, walk more... ♻️ Not all at once, and end up overwhelmed. But little by little 🌱

There are millions of things that can be done!! And YES, just you doing something is worth it. Because this isn't just you doing something. Many people around the world are alone doing small things 💚 All together, it can be huge 💪

Live a life in which Earth day is every day and take care of your home 🌍 You need it to be healthy if you want to discover it. And just basically if you want to live on it, which... you do, right? ⛰️

🫵 STAND FOR WHAT YOU STAND ON ✊️

Happy Earth day 🩵
