The long awaited summer vacation is here!! We leave behind the days of waking up early to study for exams and those early rises to take the train twice a week for track practice at school (they have to be there one hour before school starts).

Happy New Year! I think my phrase for this new year is going to be this: You can do it! Despite the problems that concern us, the situation we are in, how we are emotionally, if we have any disease or illness, or if we are alone… You can choose to dream and be happy... Continue Reading →

Finally, I’m able to write to you! What an amazing time we had together on “the Camino.” It was truly an adventure for everyone.
