and I LOOOOOVED it!

it was
awesome.
But then…

A newlywed couple in wedding attire sharing a tender moment as they stand close against a brick wall in an alleyway with urban buildings in the background. They are smiling and touching foreheads.
A bride and groom are close together with their foreheads touching, smiling and looking into each other's eyes, under a wedding veil.
A couple in wedding attire sitting on the grass in a wooded area smiling at each other.
A couple, dressed in wedding attire, standing outside in front of a house with a chalkboard sign that reads, 'Corona is a Bitch but We Still Got Hitch.' The woman is smiling, raising her arm, and wearing a long, elegant lace wedding dress. The man is holding the sign, smiling, and wearing a light-colored shirt with suspenders. There are green trees and a brick house with window shutters in the background.

2020

During the pandemic, most of the weddings I had scheduled got cancelled, so I decided to go back to my home country after 18 years living in the United States.

2022

And then came the year I turned 40, I was excited. I celebrated, had a bunch of goals… until pain attacks started coming. They would be so strong that if I got any pain, I would immediately faint.
A few months went by, and eventually the diagnosis came through: Cancer.
I spent 3 years recovering.
It took so long for me to get better, but it finally did.

2021

I kept going back and forth between Chile and the United States. I kinda wanted to move back home, but then I would miss my “other” home, the one I built…

2023

After too many years living abroad, a pandemic, and cancer, it became clear to me that it was time to get back to Chile. Then is when I decided to start a soft launch of elopements in Patagonia.

2024

Still sick and trying to get better….

2025

I moved to the heart of Patagonia, Carretera Austral and launched Bravas…

On 2026 I launched Bravas, a girls’ road trip, but make it Patagonia.

A week driving the Carretera Austral with 4 women, staying in remote villages, exploring glaciers and rivers, disconnecting from noise and reconnecting with ourselves.

No big groups.
No rush.
No performative wellness retreat energy.

Just Patagonia, good conversations, and the freedom of the open road.

And let’s not forget photography, of course!

All while I continue to heal, and thrive in the beauty of Patagonia, that I cannot wait to show you
