A Girl in Africa

Hello all! Traveling is one of my favourite activities, specially in my country. Few months ago, I visited Colombia with my family.

Since I was little, Santa Fe de Antioquia has been one of the most popular destinations not only in my city but in the country. I grew up going there often, either with my family or with frie ...

Hello all! Every year I visit Bermeo, the village where my husband was born and the place I consider my third home. Bermeo was the first capital of Vizcaya until everything was moved to Bilbao.

Bermeo, you always will ...

Hello all. This has been a very intense year full of so many experiences. We live life only once, and Id love many stories to tell my kids and grandkids when I become a granny one day.

We spend the whole morning in Lahaina, the first capital of the Kingdom of Hawaii ...

Hello, its time to talk about beauty products and how I take care of my hair. As I mentioned in a previous post, having a baby takes a lot from you, affecting your skin and hair dramatically.
