It is never too late to be what you might have been.
–George Eliot
Welcome to My Blog
Hi, I’m Emily. Welcome to Odisea—a chronicle of what unfolds when you follow your gut into the unknown. After 20 years in marketing, I chose to trade certainty for curiosity and begin creating a life that finally felt like mine. Here, I share stories and photographs from my journey—reflections on creativity, courage, and the quiet process of becoming.

Life in Arequipa, Peru feels simple. In the city’s historic center—a UNESCO World Heritage Site—white colonial buildings glow against the Andean light, their iron balconies twisting into delicate patterns above cobblestone streets. Families fill the plazas and walkways—children chasing pigeons, grandparents resting on benches in the shade. They savor the little things: ice cream at any hour of day, gathering in the Plaza de Armas to sit in the sun, lingering over late lunches that stretch easily into afternoon.
