Sunny Smiles



there is a little girl i know who dances like rain and smiles like fire.
her soul is full of music and she is a hurricane.
she shines and explodes and collapses and shines again.
her name is Ana Celina and you can see it in her eyes that she has magic inside her.
one day she will no longer be little, but will always be my girl.

Tulum




When I found out my friend Estef was moving to Tulum two months ago, it made me the happiest girl in the world. To have someone familiar and with such a beautiful soul close to me was such a blessing. She has so much goodness and light inside her it is contagious, she is the kind of person I love to be surrounded by.

The first time I road tripped to Tulum to visit her, I fell in love with the place, its people and good energy. Tulum is magical and quiet, you can feel the calmness in the air and it’s timeless. Estef introduced me to her new friends, who are some of the most kindhearted and interesting people I’ve met. They all welcomed me with open arms and made me feel part of their lovely family. I am so lucky to have found them.

I love you so, so much güerita


she has magic inside her and bring peace to everyone near her.







In Tulum I’ve felt life and youth in my bones, I always have a sincere smile painted on my face and utter happiness is my constant mood when I’m there. I have been doing all the things I longed and desired so much and I truly couldn’t be any more pleased: walking endless roads until my feet ache, eating the most delicious meals prepared with so much love by our superstar chef Dany, having deep conversations with everyone who wants to hear,  laughing at everything and anything, meeting extraordinary people in the most rare situations, being devoured by thousands of mosquitoes (not a very good experience though), getting hitchhiked by kind strangers, dancing and singing at the beach after the sun set, laying on the sand and watching the stars shine bright above us, sleeping wherever I can, building little cabins in the middle of the jungle and then swimming in beautiful cenotes to freshen up ourselves, giving and receiving so much love of wonderful people... I have been living to the fullest and having the craziest experiences, I’m making memories that I will remember all my life with a smile on my face.
