Behind the gaze: a corner just for us.

I think the camera sometimes only shows the cover of the book.. On the screen, it's easy to see the thin-strapped clothing, the glow of my skin, or that flirty smile I put on when I know I have all the attention on me, but the real magnetism begins when the broadcast ends and I return to my small, everyday rituals.. I love the contrast of appearing confident and sophisticated in front of the camera, and then being that woman who takes off her heels, puts on an oversized t-shirt, and sits on the rug to plan her next trip.. I have a healthy obsession with old maps and guides; I love getting lost while searching for hidden corners in towns in Tuscany, or imagining what it would be like to spend a whole month getting lost in the streets of Paris..

Traveling is my way of recharging my energy, but what really captivates me about changing environments is immersing myself in the language of the place.. It's a small personal quirk, but I love spending hours trying to pronounce new words or memorizing local phrases just for the pleasure of seeing people smile when I try to speak to them in their native language.. Right now, I'm struggling with French verbs at night, and I have the habit of repeating the audio out loud while I'm preparing dinner in the kitchen, which must be quite a funny sight to see if someone were to glance at me.. That combination of curiosity about the world and a very restless mind is what truly defines my day-to-day life when the main lights go out..

When I'm not traveling, I enjoy the simplest and most ordinary pleasures at home.. I find it very relaxing to cook improvised dishes using recipes I discover along the way, while listening to international indie music playlists, or to put on headphones and go for a walk without a specific destination, simply observing the architecture and the people passing by.. I'm not interested in perfect poses or rehearsed speeches, the kind you often see on the internet; what attracts me is the naturalness of a late-night conversation, those spontaneous chats that start by talking about food and end up revealing secrets in the early hours of the morning.. I consider myself a natural observer who prefers to decipher the gestures of others before revealing all my thoughts, always playing between a subtle shyness and absolute complicity..

Having this space is my way of sharing that intimate and real side of myself, which doesn't fit into the immediacy of the screen, where sophistication becomes accessible and unfiltered.. Here, you won't find generic motivational phrases or boring clichés, but rather a real person who enjoys the contradictions of life, who laughs at their own mistakes, and who values gentlemen who know how to have a real conversation.. I am a combination of outward calmness and a very subtle mischievousness that I only show to those who have the patience and a genuine desire to go beyond the obvious.. To be honest, I'm a bundle of surprises when you let me talk freely and get rid of my shyness.. In the end, life is too short to miss out on having a good, spontaneous conversation..

 

¿What is that place in the world that you always dream of escaping to?
