My secret friend

I'm going to tell you a secret. About one of the youngest souls I've ever met. Back in the day, almost a decade ago, before I joined the Monk family. Not many people trusted the Colombian dating Daniel Monk. They knew I was quiet and smiley at Sunday lunches (my two or three hours of … Continue reading My secret friend

Start

This is something I read yesterday and became the first thing I want to read today and tomorrow. "...The willingness to start is the littlest thing in life that makes the biggest difference. Step onto the field. Stand up in the meeting. Raise your hand in class. Get under the bar. Walk up to the … Continue reading Start

We are not afraid

Nunca se me olvidará la cara de felicidad de mi Mamá cuando vio el Big Ben. Se paró de la silla a contemplar la torre, los edificios antiguos, los árboles, el cielo, la cabina roja, el río y todo lo que estuviera presente. Y aunque le dijeran en los 5 idiomas del tour que por … Continue reading We are not afraid

Why I refuse to watch “Narcos”

Because I'm bored. I'm bored of people only relating Colombia to drug trafficking and jungles. Yes... it's a stereotype, yes... most of countries have a stigma...  yes, we had big drug cartels in the 80's and 90's, but there are far more interesting things to know and learn about Colombia.

Mixed herbs can teach you a lesson

Last week I went to Sainsbury's for a quick shop and found out they had changed their entire spice section. Writing about spices and supermarkets, it could sound quite boring right? But it gets better so keep reading. The thing is... I couldn't find the brand that I usually buy, ironically I don't remember its name, I just know how … Continue reading Mixed herbs can teach you a lesson

Many people have trouble sleeping. In my case... I have a beautiful newborn called Sofia and also keep thinking I need to keep this blog alive. As if life with 2 little girls wasn't enough, I added another kid to the family: my Blog. Yep, at 2:30am, apart from staring at my baby, catching up on Fb, Instagram and the chats … Continue reading To be continued

Shooting at the center

In the creative industry we  look for ideas 24 hours a day, no word of a lie.  Last weekend I was moving house, something to feel very excited about, but every time I was carrying a box, cleaning the place or unpacking, I was thinking of KFC. I had a presentation on Monday, so no time to … Continue reading Shooting at the center
