Thanks for smiling Miss Book

"Why is she crying? She's the one who decided to leave," I heard him ask in a low voice.

I cried because I was scared. I was starting my first solo trip. After Paris, there were a few more: Bali, New York, Seattle, Lisbon, Dubrovnik, Rome, Bordeaux... I was not brave, nor an adventurer. I was a woman who wanted to look into each other's eyes without blushing.

I took on challenges, faced fears and jumped over the walls I had built based on demands, complexes and deep-rooted beliefs. For a long time and miles, I cried more than I laughed, but in the end, I made it.

Thank You for Smiling, Miss is a collection of seven years of personal growth through my solo travels and a lifetime of inner searching to understand my emotions.

Fear, anxiety, shame, boredom, and disappointment have all been present in my adventures. They were not the traveling companions I chose, but they were the ones who taught me the most.

This book contains life lessons and stories that transcend beyond all the worlds I visited. The experience of traveling alone is just the first step, the one that gives you the push to take control and start leading your own life.
