After two years of working in Los Angeles, I decided to completely change my life, challenge myself more than I could've ever imagined, and move to the eternal city of Rome, Italy, to study and finish my degree at John Cabot University.

Next thing you know, my love for travel grew bigger than I ever expected, and I was on a plane every weekend traveling Europe, spanning 13 countries!

I can also proudly say that I graduated with my Bachelor of Arts in Communications in 2022.

Now settled in Madrid, Spain, I teach English and share my life living as an expat and traveling the world as a black plus-size woman across my personal blog, YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram!

Join me on this exhilarating adventure as I share travel stories, insider tips, and captivating imagery. Together, let's celebrate the beauty of our world, embrace diverse cultures, and ignite the power of visual storytelling.

Thanks for joining me!

let’s meet

I never knew I would go from a Miami girl to an international traveler. When I was little, I always dreamed of traveling the world. I just never thought that dream would come true! I have always been a storyteller, so I told stories through my films and photography. When I decided to move to Rome, Italy at 19 years old in 2019 to start my new life abroad, yes, I moved to Italy for school and it was my first time ever moving abroad, I never expected to fall in love with Europe the way I did.

I fell in love with storytelling when I picked up my camera at 13. Since then, my passion for capturing moments and sharing stories has only grown! While in Miami, I became an award-winning filmmaker and photographer. Big shout-out to the 305, the city that made me.

At 18, I took a leap and moved to Los Angeles, wanting to be an actress, and studied at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy. I realized that while in Hollywood, I fell in love with being behind the camera and transferred to Santa Monica College.

I focused on portrait photography and narrative filmmaking!
