Welcome to
My Illustrated Thoughts!
Sit back, wear your favourite outfit, have a sip of your favourite drink and… relax!
You’re here to shine. I’m here to help.
All in Culture
Three years after the world changed by a worldwide pandemic, I reflect back on the power of storytelling and how it helped me cope with two months of self-isolation in a room in London. Thanks to 55 days of daily entries, ‘The Quarantine Diaries’ became not only a book of quirky stories of a 29-year-old in her Saturn return, but also the caterpillar of the butterfly I am today. Thanks to storytelling, I discovered my true self.
It’s been 10 months since my stress levels made me go to the hospital, and reconsider what kind of life I wanted to live. Now, writing from sunny Seville, I look back on the lessons I’ve learned and why I decided to put an end to my chapter in London, after 9 years of living in The Big Smoke.
Modern life has lately changed the expectations of being a full-time mom to becoming a successful professional first and deciding on following the maternity bug later on. However I wondered, when is the best timing to juggle with the work-family balance before it’s too late?
It all began wit ¡h a mouse… and this post too. How has Disney changed throughout the years and why Snow White, Cinderella or Aurora had such limited expectations? There is an answer for that…
It’s been five years already that I live in London. I reflect on how much impact London culture has made on me and all the good things the city can bring.

The freezing, cold snowy season makes me think back to my year living in Graz, Austria, and I explore on the feelings I had during a come-back weekend last November, after five years not visiting the city.
I love Italy, to me, everything in Italy is a wonder. However, I am driven by the culinary rather than the architectural wonder. From my beginnings with the Italian culture in my first trip, to my last time in Milan and Florence with B, in this post I reflect on all the incredible places I discovered along the way.
Back in 2014 my fear of London was so deep, that I almost lost all my self-confidence with it… but sometimes you only need a song, or a movie, to give the strength back and put you on your feet, ready to run again.
Finding a jackfruit in January can be a daunting task because it means you need to travel to Brick Lane. However, I take it as a challenge and discover many curiosities about this trendy area of the city which link culture, food and history.
After doing my research, I embarked on my personal adventure and headed to Venice to find my Golden Fleece: the real Venetian. However, besides the incredible architecture, food and drink, the city had hidden many more jewels than I initially expected…
