25 Things To Accomplish or Learn in the Second Half of My Twenties

It's here... I am now officially 25 and this is crazy. A quarter of a century. The last year in France where I can go to museums for free. Considered part of the "young group" when buying tickets (and get those nice student discounts). I need to stop writing because I am starting to freak [...]

My Narrative

“I won’t stay quiet because staying silent is the same as dying.” - Dua Lipa  *Trigger warning: Sexual assault* It has taken years for me to sit down and write what you are about to read.  There is no perfect time to write this rendition of events. I am already part of the percentage of [...]

Hello 2019: Goals, plans and yikes

Well, here it goes. I have been seeing everyone post their plans for 2019 and wrapping up by saying what was the best part of their 2018 and I had some difficulties coming up with a post summing up my year. It was a very difficult one for me. I have always been very open, [...]

The Significance of Cutting my Hair

I have always loved having long hair. I feel like I can style it into so many ways (if I actually had the time - but hey, it's nice having that option right?). So any time I have cut my hair, it is because something is going on in my life. Last time I did [...]

Comparing Myself to Other Bloggers : How Social Media Can Be Toxic

"Remember that life isn't what it looks like on Instagram." These were words I wrote back on one of my Instagram posts in September. I've had a hard time in the blogging world, in finding my voice, in knowing what is the story I want to tell. I started off this blog because I just [...]

Where do I even begin to explain the good that tango has done for me? To dance with people I don’t know cheek to cheek? From the outside, tango is sensual. On the inside, it’s so respectful. Tango has made me feel free, proud of my body and the movements it can do, it’s made me feel sexy though my body isn’t what I wish it was. Tango has opened worlds inside of me that I didn’t know existed. Maybe one day I’ll be able to perfectly write how it has changed me. Thank you Tango ♥️ Swipe for weekend snaps from Torino This is 27, taking it one aperol spritz at a time 🤌🏼 In wildest dreams I never dreamed of this (V’s version) ♥️ I may no longer be there, but our story will never be over my love 🤍 It’s all about finding one’s self ✈️ Do the shit that scares you. Be courageous. Firenze streets have my heart ♥️ Dancing tango for me is a mix of emotions. It’s representative of my Spanish grandparents, who always told me I should dance something like this and who I would spend hours watching the Spanish version of Dancing With the Stars with. It’s also a form of therapy and healing. “Women come to Italy and fall in love with an Italian. I came to Italy and fell in love with tango,” I told one of my instructors.
