Life
Life is like a secondary road. Sometimes we're going at the velocity we want, things happen smoothly and there's no obstacles on the way. We reach our destination on time and full of positivity. But other times, there's works on the road, there's a slow driver in front of us or we might need to detour to get to where we want to be.

Sunrise at the Fitz Roy
My Fitz Roy experience was pretty phenomenal, somewhat terrifying nonetheless phenomenal! I have heard that if you walk all the way up to Laguna de los Tres during the night you could watch the sun rising and the mountains turning red and orange during the process. You can imagine that my little wanderlost spirit got eager to experience that!

Self-Love
How many times have we heard the self love talk?! I can tell you, I have read or heard about it more than one hundred times. Through posts, books, articles, videos, therapists, what have you... I have had people tell me "oh you are so wonderful", "you are so pretty", "you are so brave" several times. However, I was always so critic of myself that those compliments never stuck. The one "you are not enough" got stuck almost a lifetime though...

Time
The other day I was thinking how relative is time... It depends on what you are waiting for, on what you are doing with it and how you feel at the time. For example 1 minute, its an eternity in front of the microwave but only one second when you're kissing someone you love; 2 hours waiting for news can be the worst thing ever, but 2 hours watching your favorite show will fly by; 2 days at work will drag, but 2 days in holidays will pass you by without noticing.

Why I Decided to TravelTop Story - January 2018
As a child I would always have this weird urge that wouldn't let me stay still. I daydreamed all the time and pretended I was somewhere distant, going through the most incredible adventures. Today, I know that that restlessness has a name; it's called wanderlust… And my wanderlust has taken me far. At 27, I visited over 90 cities in 27 countries, and have been to four of the seven continents. But how did this happen?
