2017: A Year in Photos

2017: A Year in Photos

2017 was a year that definitely tested me. The number 7 is one I absolutely hate. Even though it is supposed to be a *lucky number*, it always seems to be that bad luck hits me. 2017 wasn't the best of years, but it also wasn't the worst. I celebrated my three years in Paris, [...]

Reversed Worlds

I am back in Paris, which means I am back to being the foreigner. Yet, for some reason, I feel caught between two worlds. I’ve been living in France for three years now, and it is a hard feeling to explain, knowing that this is the place where I belong at the moment. I love [...]

On my visit back to the United States, my family and I decided to go camping. It had been a few years since I had done such a thing. We used to do it actively back when I was younger. We had a trailer, went four-wheeling on the Oregon coast and even took a road [...]

Scared of Mickey to Love for Disney

Here is the story of my first time at Disneyland, which was in Anaheim, California. You would have thought that for an 8 year old at the time, it was every kid's dream to head to the land of Mickey. It was my nightmare.  When I was little, I was afraid of people dressed in [...]

High Up : The Story of a Mysterious Picture

One night, I was going through my pictures because I was bored. I was trying to find something to post on my Instagram, but I felt like I would find nothing new. I then fell upon this picture which I supposedly took in London. I do not remember taking it. I can't tell you what we [...]

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.
