El verdadero reto no fue organizar a 5 personas… fue sobrevivir casi 2 meses viajando juntos en familia 😂✈️

Si en tu familia no existe al menos uno de estos… ¿de verdad son una familia? 🤣 ¿Quién eres tú? 👇

¿Soy yo o cada año los hoteles encuentran nuevas formas de venderte menos tiempo por más dinero?

Después de 10 años viajando, tengo una teoría: las habitaciones son cada vez más caras mientras las horas que puedes disfrutarlas son cada vez menos.

En este viaje por Europa me encontré con varios hoteles donde el check-in era hasta las 4 pm y el check-out a las 10 u 11 am.

Para mí la lógica sería sencilla: si entro a las 4 pm, debería poder quedarme hasta las 4 pm del día siguiente. Al final estoy pagando una noche completa, ¿no?

¿O soy la única que piensa que “una noche de hotel” ya no significa una noche completa? 👀

La matemática no me da.

A este ritmo, en unos años el check-in será a las 6 pm, el check-out a las 9 am y nos seguirán llamando “una noche” 😂🏨

Is it just me, or do hotels keep finding new ways to charge you more for less time in the room?

After 10 years of traveling, I have a theory: hotel rooms keep getting more expensive while the number of hours you can actually enjoy them keeps getting shorter.

On this trip through Europe, I stayed at several hotels where check-in was at 4 pm and check-out was at 10 or 11 am.

To me, the logic seems simple: if I check in at 4 pm, I should be able to stay until 4 pm the next day. After all, I’m paying for a full night, right?

Or am I the only one who feels like a “night at a hotel” no longer means a full night? 👀

The math just isn’t mathing.

At this rate, in a few years check-in will be at 6 pm, check-out at 9 am, and they’ll still call it “one night.” 😂🏨

La familia no se escoge. Y quizás por eso a veces olvidamos lo afortunados que somos cuando la vida nos regala una buena.

Ayer me despedí de mis padres, mi hermana y mi tía después de casi dos meses recorriendo Europa juntos.

Hubo risas, desacuerdos, cambios de planes, momentos caóticos y muchos recuerdos que sé que me acompañarán para siempre.

Llevo años viajando sola y estoy acostumbrada a tener mi espacio, mi rutina, así que no esperaba que su partida me fuera a pegar tanto.

Pero ahora que vuelvo a estar sola, me doy cuenta de que algunas de las mejores partes del viaje no fueron los lugares que visitamos, sino las conversaciones, los desayunos largos y las personas con las que compartí cada día.

Cuando piensas que una vida son apenas 80 veranos, te das cuenta de que el verdadero lujo no es poder viajar por el mundo.

Es compartir la mesa con las personas que estuvieron ahí antes de tus éxitos, durante tus caídas y que seguirán ahí mucho después de que todo lo demás cambie❤️

Family isn’t something we get to choose. And maybe that’s why we sometimes forget how lucky we are when life gives us a good one.

Yesterday, I said goodbye to my parents, my sister, and my aunt after nearly two months traveling across Europe together.

There was laughter, disagreements, unexpected changes of plans, chaotic moments, and countless memories I know I’ll carry with me forever.

I’ve spent years traveling solo and I’m very used to having my own space, so I didn’t expect their departure to affect me this much.

But now that I’m back on my own, I realize that some of the best parts of this trip had nothing to do with the places we visited. They were the conversations, the long breakfasts, and the people I shared each day with.

When you realize that a lifetime is only about 80 summers, you begin to understand that the real luxury isn’t being able to travel the world.

It’s who gets to sit at the table with you❤️

Mientras gran parte de Madrid estaba perreando con Benito, algunos decidimos pasar dos horas sentados en silencio, con la piel erizada y las emociones completamente desreguladas por un piano.

Sin conversaciones. Sin distracciones. Solo un escenario, un piano y Ludovico Einaudi haciendo magia con sus manos.

“Experience” es una de esas melodías que alteró mi brain chemistry para siempre. De esas que te hacen olvidar por un momento todo el caos por el cual estás atravesando y donde el tiempo parece detenerse por completo. Es la clase de música que logra poner en palabras emociones que ni siquiera sabías cómo expresar.

Hace un año, mientras viajaba sola por Bali, compré estas entradas como regalo de cumpleaños para mi mamá. En ese momento no imaginaba todo lo que pasaría entre esa compra y esta noche.

Sin quererlo, así también comenzó este viaje por Europa. Lo que empezó siendo un viaje con mi mamá terminó convirtiéndose en casi dos meses recorriendo el continente junto a ella, mi papá, mi hermana y mi tía donde hemos pasado tiempo de calidad en familia. Y al llegar a España, la vida me recordó que nada está garantizado. Me robaron una maleta completa con más de $8,000 en pertenencias. Y aunque perder tus cosas duele, experiencias como esta te recuerdan algo importante:

Todo lo material es reemplazable. Los recuerdos no. Los momentos compartidos con las personas que amas tampoco.

Sentarme junto a mi mamá a escuchar a uno de nuestros compositores favoritos del mundo fue un recordatorio de que el verdadero lujo nunca ha estado en las cosas que poseemos, sino en los momentos que vivimos y con quién los compartimos.

No sé quién necesita leer esto, pero tu alma también necesita experiencias como esta.

Y si tu alma necesita perrear con Benito, también se vale. Yo simplemente elegí al maestro Ludovico y lo volvería hacer mil veces más 🎹✨

Ver a Ludovico Einaudi en vivo fue un sueño hecho realidad. Y si estás en Europa este verano, aprovecha que sigue de gira.

Imagina cuánta propaganda hizo falta para convencer a generaciones de que la piel más clara es más hermosa que nuestros tonos morenos naturales.

Soy latina y asiática. Y durante mucho tiempo sentí que no pertenecía a ningún lado. No lo suficientemente “latina” por mis ojos. No lo suficientemente “asiática” por ser más morena.

Y todavía hay personas que no entienden que ser de raza mixta existe😅

Entonces, cuando no pueden ponerte en una caja, proyectan, cuestionan y intentan de definirte.

Y esa probablemente es la historia de muchos niños mixtos en el mundo.

Pero tú nunca fuiste el problema. Lo fueron sus limitaciones.

Si eres mixt@ como yo, tu mezcla es rara, única y hermosa. Nunca dejes que nadie te haga sentir lo contrario.Ahí está tu poder❤️✨

Imagine how much propaganda it took to convince generations that lighter skin is more beautiful than our natural morena tones.

I’m Latina and Asian.
And for a long time, I felt like I didn’t fully belong anywhere. Not “Latina enough” because of my eyes. Not “Asian enough” because I was too dark.

And still today people don’t understand that mixed race is even a thing.

So when they can’t put you in a box, they project. They question you. They try to define you. And that’s probably the story of every mixed kid at some point.

But you were never the problem. Their limitations were. If you’re mixed like me jus know your genetics are rare, unique, and beautiful.

Never let anyone make you feel otherwise. been different is your superpower✨

Prefiero mil veces que la gente se sienta segura conmigo… a simplemente impresionar.

Nunca se me va a olvidar ese momento.
Acababa de descubrir una infidelidad en un vuelo de regreso de trabajo… y por alguna razón, en medio del aeropuerto, terminé sentada llorando frente a una monja que ni siquiera conocía.

Le conté todo. Sin filtro. Sin miedo.
Le pedí consejo como si me conociera de toda la vida… incluso sabiendo que una parte de mí quería quedarse en esa relación.

Años después entendí que no era casualidad.
No era sobre ella… era sobre cómo me hizo sentir su presencia.

Con los años he notado que muchas personas se acercan a mí, de la misma forma en que yo lo hice con aquella monja en el aeropuerto de Lima, a contarme sus historias… y para mí es algo profundamente hermoso darme cuenta de que tu energía siempre habla más fuerte que cómo te ves, que lo que dices o que lo que muestras.

Y eso no se puede fingir.
No es apariencia, no es discurso… es algo más sutil.
La energía no se explica, se percibe.

En un mundo lleno de ruido y apariencias, sé esa energía que hace que otros se sientan en casa.

Say whatever you want
Animals run to me
kids smile at me
strangers tell me their stories
People feel safe around me
ENERGY NEVER LIES.

I’d choose, a thousand times over, for people to feel safe around me… rather than simply being impressed.

I’ll never forget the moment I found out I’d been cheated on a flight back from work.Somehow, I ended up crying in an airport, telling everything to a nun I didn’t even know. No filter, no fear… as if she’d known me my whole life.

Years later, I realized it wasn’t about her it was about how I felt in her presence.

Over time, I’ve noticed people often open up to me the same way. And to me, that’s something truly beautiful to know I can create that kind of space.

Some people don’t need to do much… they just make you feel safe to be listen, not judge.

Energy isn’t explained, it’s felt.

El problema no es que falten opciones… es que pocas están a la altura de la vida que creaste.

When he thinks he’s competing with other men… but he’s actually competing with how happy I am with no boyfriend and the life provide for myself.

The problem isn’t a lack of options… it’s that very few measure up to the life you’ve created.

Tal vez nunca he entendido del todo a la gente que decide casarse tan joven. No porque el amor sea algo malo, sino porque siento que antes de compartir una vida con alguien más, hay tanto por descubrir de una misma.

Hay un momento en la vida en el que todavía estás aprendiendo quién eres realmente, qué te gusta, qué no estás dispuesta a aceptar, cuáles son tus sueños, y de qué eres capaz cuando caminas sola. Viajar, equivocarte, cambiar de opinión, probar caminos nuevos… todo eso también forma parte de conocerte.

Creo que hay algo muy poderoso en darte ese espacio. En construir tu propia vida primero. En aprender a estar bien contigo misma, sin depender de nadie más para sentirte completa.

Porque cuando realmente te conoces, cuando sabes lo que quieres y lo que mereces, ya no tomas decisiones desde la presión, el miedo o las expectativas de otros. Las tomas desde la libertad.

Y para mí, la libertad siempre va a ser una de las formas más bonitas de amor propio✨

Hello, my name is Marcy, and this is my story ❤️

I’m half Costa Rican and half Taiwanese and I lived most of my life in Panama. 4+ years ago I left my dream corporate job to travel the world.

It was one of the hardest decisions that I had to make in my life, but also one of the best. I was the Marketing Director for Ralph Lauren in Latin America. My job consisted of traveling around Latin America to supervise all the marketing and communication events of the brand. Thanks to this work, my passion for traveling was born.

I was in change of receiving all the media kits of all Latin America bloggers who wanted to work with the brand. So I became interested in the blogging world and decided to start a fashion blog (since I was working in fashion industry at the time). A few months later, I got tired of it and rebranded my blog as a travel blog because I was more attracted to this industry. Little by little my blog began to be recognized by brands and they started sending me free clothes and hotels invited me to their properties to take photos in exchange for free stays. Of course I was super excited, I was liking it a lot and I started questioning myself why this was not my actual job 🤔

After 4 years with the blog (part time), I found the courage and made the decision to leave my 8-year job at Ralph Lauren to travel the world full time. I traded my office with four concrete walls for places in nature, my heels for hiking shoes, and now I'm chasing waterfalls, climbing mountains and exploring unique places. After leaving the corporate world, I spent a whole year in Africa and it was an incredible experience. I traveled to 67 countries and still every destination that I explore never ceases to amaze me. I consider myself a different kind of content creator because I search for less popular places and introduce them on this platform. If you are looking for unique travel tips, I invite you to follow my account 😉
