Moving Around

Hola queridos!

It's been nearly 2 weeks of me moving around. First Italy, then Spain. Both short trips and quite different. 

Italy, more specifically Puglia region, opened its arms with vast dry red sand fields and crowds of olive trees. Friendly italian men tried their best to give me some compliments in their broken english, so sweet!  My belly was happy with some great vegan italian gelato but I had to put an effort to find italian food without cheese and eggs. The beaches made me laugh with its paid access, I often feel very sceptical when you have to pay to enter the beach.

I camped in a relatively cheap camping and felt like a little tourist. My days consisted of swimming, walking, visiting random towns and eating. A privileged traveller! I bathed in expressive italian language and was reminded again how generally speaking the looks of your clothes are so important here. I missed hippies a little! Dear friends of Italy, where can I find them next time I visit? The stunning architecture of Bari and Monopoli towns blew my mind. I felt taken back in time, some hot hazy afternoons getting lost in narrow cobbled streets.

Puglia has charmed me a lot! ✨

And Spain visit was for work. 

10 years ago I met a special soul there and we both then knew that our friendship will bring some future creations. And here we go, 10 years later, me creating edible magic in the kitchen and her making it all happen, teaching, inspiring. The yoga retreat was a magical time. An intense and hard work but so rewarding and in the most beautiful villa in Andalucia!

To be back in Spain feels like coming back home. I still remember its flavours, smells and sounds. 10 years ago I completely fell in love with its South. Andalucia seduced me with its colours, intense heat and flamenco sounds. So being here this time brings the sweet nostalgia of an old lover. 

But like everything, things in life constantly change. And my soul yearns to be back in the land of Mayans. The land of cacao, the pelicans, its cultures and spices. My big love.

Tomorrow is special not only because I turn 33 or because of equinox but also because I take my wings and fly accross the ocean. I will be in Mexico for the next 2 months. You know how much I love that place. If you find yourself there, on the side of Pacific, write me. I wanna share that magical love this country gave to me.

Nos vemos en México!
