  • Chasing your goals isn't easy. It involves a lot of work, patience, and sometimes crying in front of strangers (a story for another day). When you're feeling crappy maybe you take it as a sign that it's time to move on. How do you know when it's the right time? ⁣ ⁣ If it's hard, should you give up? The thing is, the answer isn't always clear. We have to decide for ourselves.⁣ ⁣ After facing a bump in the road, I have to admit this thought crossed my mind. It's so easy to fall into that mindset everything sucks the world is against me this is too hard. What has kept me going is not only focusing on my lows, but also my highs. What's working for me right now? What accomplishment am I proud of this week? What made me smile today? ⁣ ⁣ In our little world, we get wrapped up in the negatives but it is sooo important to be grateful and remember all the great things.

But in my experience, not settling has meant taking the more challeging (and rewarding) path.

  • Everything happens for a reason, or at least that's the lie I kept telling myself when things don't go my way. But what if there's actually some truth to it? ⁣ ⁣ As some of you may already know, I'm moving to NYC and it's been really overwhelming and stressful for several reasons. One being: finding housing! I was chatting with a potenial room in Bronx. This place had recently became available again. I wondered why, but didnt think much of it. 🚩 We spoke on the phone and she seemed like a total sweetheart, maybe too nice. Or was I just being cynical? ⁣ ⁣ Fast forward a couple of days and the deal fell through before even seeing the place. I was a little disappointed. After that, I quickly realized why the place was available again and how problematic the landlord actually was. 😟 She showed her true colors and they weren't pretty. (If you wanna know the full story, DM me!)⁣ ⁣ Anyways, I feel like I dodged a bullet just because things didn't go my way but in reality, this was what needed to happen! So maybe in the moment we don't get why things keep falling apart but maybe it's just a push to get us on the right path. Maybe not every time but this time it felt like that. ⁣ ⁣ TELL ME: Do you have any experiences that made you relate to this? Share them in the comments!

  • Given the political climate, there's a lot of negative stereotypes going around about Hispanics/Latinxs. ⁣ ⁣ These stereotypes are problematic because it makes the untrue assumptions that ALL members of this community are X,Y,Z. Although there are a few bad apples, this does not mean all are the same. So we ask you to judge us individually for who we are, and not attribute misconceptions about our entire community. Bottom line is: to assume something negative about an entire race/ethnicity soley based on that identy is racist, wrong, and unfair. Judge individuals for their character, don't judge entire communities as a whole based on their identity. ⁣ ⁣ It saddens me to see so many targetting us as an entire group and dismissing all our contributions and accomplishments. And we are not the only ones being targeted in this manner. ⁣ ⁣ As I travel and educate myself, I always remember who I am and where I came from, and how that impacts both my experience and behavior. I keep in mind all the struggles and obstacles my family and I had to overcome, and still do. I remember all the sacrifices my parents made for me, and the path families before them paved. I am thankful for the opportunities given to us, and for the grit and determination we've had to create new ones. ⁣ ⁣ I hope and fight for the day where everyone has equal opportunity and is judged individually for what they do, not who they are. Perhaps that perfect utopia will never come, but rest assured others and myself will keep pushing to get as close to that as possible. ⁣ ⁣ I plan on continuing to be a positive representation of my community and pave the path for others to follow through my social interactions and career. TELL ME: What are you doing to make a positive impact on your community?

  • I'm not sorry I've been MIA for a while but I am thankful. I'm thankful to have an understanding and supportive community that knows sometimes we just need time. Time to reflect, focus...⁣ ⁣ Thank you for being patient with me when I took gave short responses and got distracted. Thank you for supporting me and being there for me when I needed it most. Thank you for understanding that I wasn't in the mental space to be the great friend I usually am. Thank you for believing in me when I felt small and insignificant. This one goes out to my true friends who are there for me no matter what. ⁣ ⁣ And yes, sometimes we get to a better place but somehow we can end up right where we started and that's totally okay! Today I wanted to share a visual from my past (to continue with that idea returning to past moments/feelings). This was from my trip to Germany in 2012. Facing great challenges has often been like a cycle to me: excitement, fear, anxiety, eagerness, determination and then the cycle begins again, (sometimes multiple times for the same challenge). ⁣ ⁣ I'm going through a big transition in my life and it's pretty hard! Moving, finding a job, dealing with grad school fees, packing, questioning my own choices, wondering if it's all a huge mistake, should I eat those brownies again even though it's really bad for me, the list goes on. ⁣ ⁣ So a lot of mixed feelings right now! ⁣ ⁣ TELL ME: What's something you're excited/nervous about right now?

  • A couple of months ago I worked on this cool project with Pearson. For my non-American friends: Pearson is an educational company that provides books and educational materials to schools. So how does this relate to me?⁣ ⁣ Well I'm excited to share I was chosen as one of their characters in for their primary school Spanish book. Basically, I played myself, a Miami-native travel blogger, showing the diversity in Miami while showing my life as a travel blogger. Pretty cool, eh? ⁣ ⁣ I watched the final video and omg, it is SO GOOD! I'm looking forward to sharing it with you once they've officially released it. So stay tuned. If all goes well, I'll be featured in videos and book chapters all over the US. 📚⁣ ⁣ This project was part of what influenced my choice to start a YT channel. The film makers were so impressed with my camera presence. And I've made videos and posted them, event back in high school! I have then removed them and now plan on starting over by sharing How To videos. ⁣ ⁣ TELL ME: What type of videos would you like to see? And be honest, would you actually watch my videos?

  • Big announcement! 🎉⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Chase your dreams, especially if they scare you. Look, I'll do it, even if I'm shaking, shedding tears, and making a mental list of all the reasons why it's a dumb idea. And you know what, to my surprise, it still works everytime, LOL. It's not about being confident in yourself and your abilities. It's not about knowing everything. It's not even about knowing step by step everything you're gonna do. It's about having a clear goal and going for it (with smart strategies). ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I was scared to move to France alone as a teen. So many people feed into my fear: you're gonna get kidnapped you will get killed you don't even speak French French people hate Americans, why are you going? And guess what? I learned French, had an awesome time, and don't ever regret going for it. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I was scared to attend the University of Michigan. I felt like a puppy in a big dog playground. Well this puppy kicked butt in academics and exceeded my own expectations. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Now I'm scared of attending an ivy league. What if people are stuck up and arrogant? Am I smart enough to even be there? Total imposter syndrome to the max, just like in Michigan. But hey, my grades, application, and experiences got me accepted so I earned my place. And yeah, maybe some people aren't gonna be great but I'll find cool and kind people there (like me!) Also if you know a nice, kind, woke, blogger in NYC please send them my way and tell them I'm looking for a friend, lol. Tag them below. 👇🏻⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ And I'm also scared of starting a YouTube who wants to watch How-to videos from me? Well, apparently a lot of people. 😂 Thank you so much to the people who have encouraged me to pursue this. ❤ I've gotten an overwhelming amount of response and support off and online. All 2 of you have been so kind, ha jk there have been but not 100s haha, I'm not internet famous. Even if it were 2 or 200, it means a lot. Sometimes numbers get to me but getting positive feedback reminds me of my why. Why I wanted to do this: to be a resource to people who want to travel on a budget. And now I'm expanding it to education. (Continued in 1st comment)

  • Does social media portrayed a factitious reality or do we just see what we wanna see?⁣ ⁣ Today everyone has an opinion about everyone and their grandma. But very little people take time to see the whole picture. Why? ⁣ ⁣ You see someone exclusively posting sexy pictures. So they're overly confident you may assume. Or could they also battle insecurities like the rest of us? ⁣ ⁣ You see someone post all their flashy clothing and cars. So you assume they're rich and successful. Or could they be living paycheck to paycheck and struggle with money management like some of us do?⁣ ⁣ You see someone posting pictures of their travels. So you assume they're always traveling, lazy, and don't have a job? Or could they be saving up, earning scholarships, traveling on a budget, and using their vacation time to go on trips, like I do?⁣ ⁣ You see someone posting pictures of joyous moments and smiles. So you assume they're happy. Or could they be struggling with mental health like you do? ⁣ ⁣ You see, somehow people use social media as an excuse to judge a book by it's cover. We have forgetten to read between the lines. I often find people ignore the truth, even when told, just to continue holding on to their misguided assumption. We are so quick to judge and so reluctant to see what's right in front of us. ⁣ ⁣ Some people still think I travel 24/7, yet I've talked about my fulltime jobs, life as a student, countless times in person + online (in my captions, blogs, my location is even in my bio). I've talked about all the hours I spent applying to scholarships and writing essays to get funding for programs abroad, yet people assume I'm rich. ⁣ ⁣ Maybe it's easier to assume people have it easy instead of acknowledging their struggles, because it feeds into our excuses for not going for it ourselves as well. ⁣ ⁣ This isn't a social media issue, it's a people issue. I've seen this happen offline all the time. The judgements, criticism, assumptions. Stop. We need to do better to connect and get to know the whole story, not just the book cover of assumptions.⁣ ⁣ Throwback to my trip to Cusco, Peru.⁣ TELL ME: What are your thoughts on this? Do you agree?

We are so quick to judge and so reluctant to see what's right in front of us. ⁣ ⁣ Some people still think I travel 24/7, yet I've talked about my fulltime jobs, life as a student, countless times in person + online (in my captions, blogs, my location is even in my bio). I've talked about all the hours I spent applying to scholarships and writing essays to get funding for programs abroad, yet people assume I'm rich. ⁣ ⁣ Maybe it's easier to assume people have it easy instead of acknowledging their struggles, because it feeds into our excuses for not going for it ourselves as well. ⁣ ⁣ This isn't a social media issue, it's a people issue. I've seen this happen offline all the time. The judgements, criticism, assumptions. Stop. We need to do better to connect and get to know the whole story, not just the book cover of assumptions.⁣ ⁣ Throwback to my trip to Cusco, Peru.⁣ TELL ME: What are your thoughts on this? Do you agree?
  • I'm THAT type of person.⁣ ⁣ I'm that silly chick that likes to dance in front of the mirror in her pjs. The one who will take pictures at Walmart by fake flowers. I'm the type of person who will enjoy the little things and make an adventure out of small things. Who else is like this? 🙋🏻‍♀️⁣ ⁣ Often I've been called childish for being this way. At first it seems like an insult but it's really a compliment. I live in the moment. I try my best to make things enjoyable. I laugh at the small things. I'm caring. I'm in touch with my feelings and try my best to express them. I like to have fun AND I'm responsible and persistent in the areas that matter: academics and career. ⁣ ⁣ I used to be self conscious about what others thought about me. As I got older I realized the weird and quirky things are what my people love about me the most and what makes me feel the happiest. So have fun, be a kid! ⁣ ⁣ TELL ME: What's a small silly thing that brings you joy?

  • Last month I spent the day with my friend @dannyagudelo exploring @evergladesnps and other places here in South Florida. Danny shared with me his love for nature and the importance of preserving it. AND we also got smoothies. 🥤😍 Today I am sharing a some facts about the Everglades and the ocean (they're both important things to all of us, especially Floridians). Slide to view.⁣ Most of them were cut off but some cool info is still included! 🌻 ⁣ TELL ME: Which fact surprised you the most?

  • Moving to NYC soon and I'm so incredibly nervous and excited! ⁣ ⁣ I'm moving to NYC to attend my dream grad school so it's a huge deal. I'm pursuing a double masters in psychological counseling (nerd alert, am I right🤓)? This program will get me one step closer to my career goals: improving access to education for underserved communities. ⁣ ⁣ Growing up in Honduras opened up my world to a harsh reality. I witnessed extreme poverty and poor education. I think it made me realize how much progress is still needed. But this doesn't just impact Honduras, it impacts all countries (on a different scale, in different forms). ⁣ ⁣ My mother taught me at a young age the importance to give back to the community. One day (after moving back to the US) we went to visit during the summer, as we usually did. We spent days gathering my old toys and putting them in boxes in front of our house. Everyday for several days, people came to get toys. The joy and smiles on their face made me feel warm inside. Something so small can make such a difference. 😍⁣ ⁣ But I didn't want to just end it there. I know there's much more that can be done.I want to dedicate my career to help others achieve their academic goals and have access to a better life and work opportunities. I don't want to just take up space, I want my existence to add something positive to the world. I know I can't change the world or solve all the problems but I hope to make a positive difference in others' lives, big or small. ❤⁣ ⁣ I encourage you all to think of ways you can positively impact your community. Volunteering or providing a social service (teaching, counseling, ect) can be a great way to do this! If you're in Miami and want to volunteer, HMU! I can send you sites or maybe we can volunteer together. If you're in NYC & wanna volunteer, HMU cus I'd love a volunteer buddy! 👀 TELL ME: When was the last time you made a positive impact?

  • I was crying while eating a mango recently. Has this ever happened to you? 🙋🏻‍♀️ put your hand down, of course it didnt. 😂 I swear sometimes my life sounds like a comedic drama. ⁣ ⁣ This happened and it wasn't because the mango was amazing, (but it was amazing, btw). It was because life gets rough and you break down when you least expect it, even when enjoying life's simple pleasures like eating a mango. ⁣ ⁣ Here's the thing: life on the other side of the screen isn't always pretty and smiley. It's raw and unfiltered. It's good and it's bad. And sometimes you just gotta ride the waves and laugh when you can, specially post-mango meltdown. ⁣ ⁣ I think we've all been there. Maybe it wasn't with mangos, maybe it was with popcorn during a sad clip or a bowl of ice cream after a rough social interaction. The key is to feel and express all your emotions AND find a way to move past it. ⁣ ⁣ The tears became laughter. Sometimes you just gotta laugh at yourself. 😂 TELL ME: What was something that made you laugh recently?

  • I have the kindest of intentions and still get negativity. It's kinda funny how that happens. ⁣ ⁣ I started blogging to help & inspire others to travel on a budget. I've gotten countless unfollows & critism from strangers, friends, & family. I've also got a lot of people who doubt me and my sucess. ⁣ ⁣ To deal with this I do two things: remind myself of my goals & try to understand them (the haters). ⁣ ⁣ Everyone isn't going to get it and some are just not interested but that's okay. I don't need to support from everyone because my goal isn't popularity. My goal is to be a resource to others. ⁣ ⁣ I try to understand them by remembering everyone goes through their own struggles and some havent found healthy ways to cope with them so they tend to be judgemental and nasty towards others. It could be jealousy, insecurities, unhappiness, or something similar. This applies to people irl and online. ⁣ ⁣ I'll give you an example of something that happened to me. ⁣ ⁣ I had a coworker who was always really nasty to me. She was rude and judgmental, specifically towards me but not everyone. She was young, just a teen. I didn't pay much mind and just figured she had poor manners. I was told by a friend + coworker that she was gossiping about me and among the things she said include: ugh, look at Elizabeth. She thinks she's so cool with her travel IG whaaat?? 😂 (My IG is never to show off or make others jealous but to share my story and help others) So I kinda just laughed it off and remained respectful to her always. ⁣ ⁣ That same summer she started her travel IG. 🤔 This to me showed that maybe she was jealous and wanted to do the same thing but struggled to be successful or something like that. ⁣ ⁣ I hope she's grown, become kinder, and less critical of others, wherever in the world she is. ⁣ ⁣ That's just one example of plenty! Not the worst one either. If similar things happen to you, don't get to their level- be kind and respectful always. Deep down the nasty people just need support and love like the rest of us (but may not be getting it, unfortunately). ⁣ ⁣ I'll do what I love & continue to get the support from my people.⁣ ⁣ TELL ME: How do you handle the haters?

  • Land of the limited.⁣ ⁣ As a child of immigrants there is so much pressure because of the sacrifices our parents made. ⁣ ⁣ There is pressure to be above average. ⁣ ⁣ With all this pressure, we also get constantly challenged with our identities. We gotta be deeply connected to our roots while remaining extremely American and patriotic. When successful in the face of great obstacles and inequalities, we are questioned if we even earned our place (applies to work, education, ect). We must turn a blind eye to injustices many face here because we aren't fully welcomed here anyways. How dare us fight for equality in a land where we are often treated as unwelcomed visitors. ⁣ ⁣ With 4th of July quickly approaching, it reminds me how limited our freedom truly is. I am proud to be both American and Latina, but I can love a land while also acknowledging the need for more progress and equality. We've come a long way but the work is not over. This 4th of July, I will celebrate US' birthday while remembering how we got here and where I hope one day we will be. ⁣ ⁣ TELL ME: How do you celebrate 4th of July? ⁣

  • The one-sided story⁣ ⁣ The one-sided story is often what we usually show & tell to our family, friends, and even strangers. We often seem embarrassed to share the struggles. Why are we ashamed to share our failures and mistakes? It's only human, afterall. I think it portrays an unrealistic idea of success and adulting. ⁣ ⁣ Not sharing my truth is exhasting! 😂 Pretending like all is good and perfect all the time is overwhelming and overrated, if ya ask me! 😜 So, I'll just continue embracing my mistakes and try my best to learn from them. 🌟⁣ ⁣ We often show this on social media as well, not just influencers, but well, everyone. Maybe the hardships just aren't as instagram worthy, or so we think! I've made an effort to keep it real and share more about my life, travels, even failures. ⁣ ⁣ I think it helps me stay humble and connect with others as well. Some shared they really appreciated my vulnerability and transparency. The most interesting part is, they can relate! So many of us chose to struggle in silence. Although I'm not saying EVERYONE should share ALL their struggles (I sure don't) but sometimes sharing can make a positive impact. For me it's been beneficial (for the reasons I've listed above and also) because others can help + guide you. You're never too wise, too good, or too smart, to learn something new or ask for help. And in honor of embracing mistakes, here's a fail picture taken by @juannunez0821. 😂 (slide to see)⁣ ⁣ TELL ME: What's something you've been struggling with lately? ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #miami #KennedyPark #florida #floridablogger #miamiblogger ⁣

And today I am sharing all the secrets on how YOU can do it too! 🌎⁣ ⁣ Look, I'm just an ordinary broke chick who love to travel, pet dogs, and spend more hours playing The Sims than I'd like to admit. I'm also resourceful and organized when it comes to planning trips and finding funding, programs, and opportunities. So I wanna not just show the pretty pictures. I'm not that ooh look at me, I'm so cool and I travel chick. Nope. I'm that chick who has worked her butt off, saved, and earned funding for trips. I'm also that chick that wants to help others.

It's definitely not in my comfort zone. ⁣ ⁣ So yes, I feel sometimes feel silly sharing my experiences and thoughts with you. BUT it's also one of the best choices I've ever made. Why? Because it's enabled me to connect with people who encourage & inspire me. It's allowed me to support and help others travel. It's also been a positive outlet for my mental health. ⁣ ⁣ It seemed like a silly thought January 2018 when I decided to change my IG to a travel blogger account, but it's been beneficial in so many ways! And it felt silly visiting NYC Feb 2013 for the first time just to attend a college tour at Columbia. I was in community college at the time and thought there was no way I'd ever get in but a girl can dream right? Fall 2019 I'm making that silly dream come true as I pursue 2 graduate degrees. I still can't believe this silly dreamer got in. I remember years before that wanting to travel the world. 30+ countries later I can proudly call myself a traveler. Dreams always seem silly but there's someone out there already making it happen.⁣ ⁣ I still get a lot of negative comments and criticism.

  • This is what anxiety looks like.⁣ ⁣ Anxiety to me is when relatively small mistakes make me fight back the tears. Anxiety to me is not being able to sleep a night because of the influx of irrational thoughts. Anxiety to me is having your nervous system accelerate, triggered suddenly and rapidly, by a thought or event. Anxiety to me means needing an interactive but simple activity to calm my nerves. Anxiety to me is overeating to make me feel better. Anxiety to me is avoiding caffeine because I can't handle the side effects when my heart already feels like its pounding out of my chest. ⁣ ⁣ Anxiety also looks like smiling throughout the day. It also looks like having regular conversations and social interactions. It looks like being productive and accomplished. ⁣ ⁣ You get the idea? Having anxiety doesn't mean you're literally anxious all the time and can't function. Various situations and thoughts can trigger it. And regardless of how functional and happy you may appear and are (cus in my case I am generally happy!), it doesn't make your mental health experiences any less valid. I hate that certain experiences are made out to be one thing and if you don't fit in that box, it's not real. But hey, not everyone is a mental health expert. Some don't even cope with it and surpress their feelings with unhealthy outlets. Many still do not even believe it's real. Everyone doesn't understand mental health, but I do. I've done research on this and I got a degree on it, so you can trust me on this! ⁣ ⁣ I'm here to tell you, your feelings and emotions are valid. I hope you find the best healthy way to deal with all mental health challenges you face. ⁣ ⁣ TELL ME: What are some assumptions/stereotypes people have that really bug you? ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ---⁣ #mentalhealth #anxiety #miami #breakthestigma #anxietyawareness

And the following month I worked in Italy for a month. It was an eventful summer to say the least! I worked hard to look for these opportunities and enhance my skills. I create and actively search for meaningful experiences. You see the pictures but you don't see all the work I've done to get where I am.🌏👩🏻‍🎓⁣ ⁣ I don't come from wealth. My trips are paid fully on my own and through earned scholarships and grants. I've applied to more things than I can remember only to get a handful of yeses. But I'm persistent. I keep trying.⁣ ⁣ All my goals are reached by completing small steps on the way. Currently, my travel goals have been put on pause. I've been traveling a lot less because I'm focusing on my academic and career goals. 👩🏻‍🏫📚 But sometimes I feel so impatient. I want to do everything NOW. I want to see more progress and more accomplishments quicker. Unfortunately, it doesn't always work that way. ⁣ ⁣ It helps to sometimes take a moment to remember a time when I wanted to be where I am now. I take a moment to appreciate how far I've come and what is yet to come.

  • Many people don't know this: I'm an ambivert. ⁣ ⁣ Although the behaviors, thoughts, and feelings may vary person to person, being an ambivert to me means:⁣ ⁣ 1. Preferring 1 on 1 hang outs over large group hang outs. ⁣ ⁣ 2. I won't talk over you. I do not fighting to be heard. If you cut me off or don't listen, I just won't share what I had to say. 🤷🏻‍♀️⁣ ⁣ 3. Wanting conversations with depth and substance. Don't get me wrong, I love chatting about all things pop culture. Yeah, I can talk about the Kardashians and share all the fun facts I learned against my will. But there needs to be more than just shallow conversation. I want conversations that are meaningful.⁣ ⁣ 4. Listening and observing more than I talk. ⁣ ⁣ 5. My behavior is influenced by my environment and surrounding people.⁣ ⁣ 6. Having a deep desire to befriend + connect with others by asking about their likes + dislikes and their passions. ⁣ ⁣ 7. Spending time with friends doing interactive activities like dinner, museum visit, cultural things, going to the mall.

  • 1 month in India. ⁣ ⁣ My first summer at @uofmichigan I did a service learning program through @cgisumich ⁣ I was excited to do something meaningful and give back. ⁣ ⁣ As most Westerners, I came in with the idea of helping others as a volunteer. Although this is what volunteers usually do, it was a little more complex than most would think. Allow me to explain.⁣ ⁣ I spent nearly a month volunteering: cooking, cleaning, among other duties; to help provide 60 thousand to 100 thousand meals a day. Incredible, right? The coolest part is that not only has this been happening for over 400 years, it also is completely free and open to everyone. It's not even funded by the government which shows the incredible heart and kindness of the people involved. It was a privilege to play a small role in this but I wasn't needed. If anything, I slowed them down! ⁣ ⁣ I (tried to) learned to make perfectly round rotis, which seemed like a second nature to these local volunteers that spent endless hours making them. I had to observe others and ask for their help. Sometimes they had to stop me to just show me how it's done! And I, of course, was incredibly grateful to learn! ⁣ ⁣ Yes, I came in with this I'm-gonna-make-a-huge-change-mentality. I thought my work would be meaningful, and it was but not in the way I expected. ⁣ ⁣ During my time, I made meaningful interactions. I shared a piece of my culture with others. We often communicated through basic English, gestures, and smiles. ⁣ ⁣ I went to help but in reality they helped me. They helped me understand a different part of the world, a different cultures, and even how to make rotis (don't ask me to make you any cus mine weren't that good! Oh but I am now a master at peeling garlic thanks to this experience. I am up for a garlic peeling competition if anyone wants to challenge me! 😂)They helped see that sometimes we gain more than we give as volunteers. It helped me be less ignorant about a religion different from my own. ⁣ ⁣ To the volunteers out there (or aspiring volunteers): thank you for your service and remain humble! Think about what you're gaining, not only what you're giving. ⁣ ⁣ When was the last time you volunteered?

  • This made me rethink 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨!⁣ ⁣ Everyone wants to be brave but no one wants to be vulnerable - @BreneBrown⁣ ⁣ Recently I watched a documentary on @netflix, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘰 𝘊𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘦. Brown talked about bravery only existing in the presence of vulnerability. And then I started thinking of a time when I was brave but not vulnerable and it doesn't exist. ⁣ ⁣ And yet, my biggest accomplishment are times I was vulnerable. Times I was scared, judged, and criticized by friends, family, strangers. ⁣ ⁣ Now I'm about to start a new chapter and y'all I am 𝘚𝘊𝘈𝘙𝘌𝘋. I'm starting grad school soon at an ivy league and all these questions have begun to arise. Am I good enough? Am I smart enough? Do I really deserve this? Can I handle it?⁣ ⁣ I know deep down the answer is yes! But dealing with the #Impostersyndrome, the uncertainty, challenges, and insecurities, make me scared of this experience.

    This made me rethink 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨!⁣ ⁣ Everyone wants to be brave but no one wants to be vulnerable - @BreneBrown⁣ ⁣ Recently I watched a documentary on @netflix, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘰 𝘊𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘦. Brown talked about bravery only existing in the presence of vulnerability. And then I started thinking of a time when I was brave but not vulnerable and it doesn't exist. ⁣ ⁣ And yet, my biggest accomplishment are times I was vulnerable. Times I was scared, judged, and criticized by friends, family, strangers. ⁣ ⁣ Now I'm about to start a new chapter and y'all I am 𝘚𝘊𝘈𝘙𝘌𝘋. I'm starting grad school soon at an ivy league and all these questions have begun to arise. Am I good enough? Am I smart enough? Do I really deserve this? Can I handle it?⁣ ⁣ I know deep down the answer is yes! But dealing with the #Impostersyndrome, the uncertainty, challenges, and insecurities, make me scared of this experience. I am excited and remind myself that this is a part of being brave and yes it may be scary now but aren't all great experience a little scary? Or is that only applicable in my life? 😜⁣ ⁣ Is there something really scary that you wanna do? Let me know in the comments!

  • Unpopular opinion: You can take lots of pictures and be in the moment.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Time and time again I see people criticizing others for taking too many pictures.

  • How to be a good friend in 2019 💕⁣ ⁣ 1. Communicate 🗣⁣ You can't talk right now? You need some space? Something made you upset? Let them know. No one can read your mind. Make sure you're using your communications skills to share. ⁣ ⁣ 2. Support + encourage 🎉⁣ Hype them up! Push them towards their goals and dreams. 💫⁣ ⁣ 3. Listen👂🏻⁣ Listen more than you speak. Don't just have conversations to hear yourself talk. Try to actively listen and understand what people are saying first. ⁣ ⁣ 4. Check in 🙋🏻‍♀️⁣ Reach out to your friend every now and then just to say hello and see how they are doing. ⁣ ⁣ Remember your time is not more valuable than anyone else's. Everyone is busy and everyone has 24 hours in a day. 🤷🏻‍♀️⁣ ⁣ BONUS TIP: I love using technology to stay connected. I often send rants + updates on snapchat or other social media platforms through video and audio. It's not that often that you're available for a chat, but by sending audios and videos, they can stay connected regardless of schedules. 💕 ⁣ ⁣ Is there something I left out? Drop suggestions in the comments! Have you been a good friendly lately? ⁣ ⁣ #london #england #bigben

  • I'm not just lucky, I'm privileged. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I think as we grow and understand who we are and our place in the world, it's important to reflect on our identities. We have to think about how those identities impact our experiences. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Yes, its a little bit of luck & a lot hard work but I'd be wrong to dismiss my privilege and it's role in my travels and education. These privileges include: being a fair-skinned Latina, abled-bodied, and even my American passport. EVERYONE has privilege, of one form or another. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I often think of all the disadvantages and obstacles I've faced but today I wanted to think of all the advantages I was simply born with and did not have to work for. Personally, I can travel to most countries without any additional visas, which has played a role in visiting 30 countries. (Yes, some required visas too but some did not). As a fair Latina, I get more representation in the Latinx than others, which helps find role models and envision myself in a positive light. Being able-bodies has made things easier for me everywhere I go because for the most part, the world caters to abled people and their needs. This means I can easily access public bathrooms, use any public transportation without any concern, etc. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ BE HONEST + TELL ME: What's a privilege you have? Go a step further if you'd like and tell me how that priviledge has given you an advantage! I can help you figure it out if you'd like. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣PC: @juannunez0821 ---⁣ #privilege #diversity #yellowinmyfeed #yellow #livecolorfully #love #selfgrowth #hellocolor #santodomingo #Dominicanrepublic #republicadominicana #zonacolonial

Most I learned the hard way. 😂 But hey, we're all learning and growing everyday, right? Learning, growing, chasing dreams, that's what it's all about. 💫⁣ ⁣ A common dream/goal I hear often is travel. Don't believe me? Try it! Ask someone what their goals/dreams are and more times than not they will say travel. And perhaps during those travels, you may ask yourself Is there a wrong way to travel? ⁣ ⁣ Let's talk about it! I want to know, what do you think? Is there a wrong way to travel?

  • These shoes have been through a lot. Both literally and metaphorically. 👠👡⁣ ⁣ They've taken me all over the world - from Europe to Asia, and most recently South America. They've walked me to graduation and soon will graduate school this fall. Every step brings me closer to achieving another goal.⁣ ⁣ TELL ME: What have your shoes been up to lately? What have you been doing and where have they taken you?⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ---⁣ #shoes #travelblogger #lifestyleblogger #discoverunder10k #blogger #cybercorner #communityovercompetition #santodomingo #visitdominicanrepublic #colorfulfeed #Dominicanrepublic #valentines #galentines #wanderout #travelwithme⁣ ⁣

  • I've been really ignorant. ⁣ ⁣ Growing up, I had very few friends outside of my ethnicity. In Miami it felt really cliquey in my schools. When I went to college at @mdcollege and @uofmichigan it felt different. ⁣ ⁣ My circle of friends got more diverse (in everything- race, ethnicity, gender expression), which changed everything for me because I began listening and learning (more than before) about issues faced by other communities. As I continue learning and exploring the world I keep those issues in mind to avoid being inappropriate/disrespectful or the basic traveler (we can talk about that later). ⁣ ⁣ And to be completely honest travel has helped get rid of negative stereotypes and misconceptions I've had of different people and cultures.⁣ ⁣ But the learning journey should never end. ⁣ ⁣ TELL ME: Is there a movie or book that has helped you learn something new about a social issue? Drop all book/author/movie recommendations below! ⁣ ⁣ Throwback to DR with travel buddies (PC) @juannunez0821 @muttaquey⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ---⁣ #santodomingo #Dominicanrepublic #zonacolonial #discoverunder5k #floridablogger #miamiblogger #miamiliving #lifestyleblogger #miamiphotographer #miamilifestyle
