California - Nevada - Utah - Colorado - Nebraska - Illinois - Ohio - New Jersey - Massachusetts A trip not for the weak of heart! (Nov 2024) Rowan and I embarked on a cross-country farewell trip almost a year from today. From California to Boston many stops along the way, many sweet people we gathered with and the most unexpected and beautiful memories created (when trusting the heart!)🤠🏜️🏙️🛻 Love can uplift you to the highest and softest cloud yet it can also drop you vertiginously. To love your friends, family, yourself or even your dreams can be so complex. Pride, expectations, ego and rushed or unprocessed feelings can complicate things easily. Likewise, to trust your gut/heart is often not an easy task. This trip meant many goodbyes, a shy fear towards the unknown on the other side and many questions unanswered regarding that present and future. From the many, here are some take aways: - keen on trying other means of transportation! Trains or bike -- slower paces. Advices/ideas welcomed! - grateful for all the beautiful people that has welcomed me in their homes throughout time and specially during that occasion ❤️ - "nature" continues to demonstrate how is absolutely astonishing, ever-inspiring and simply breathtaking - magical 🌱🌍 "El amor es el motor de la vida" - Pepe Mujica (aka goat). What a gift is to love your friends, family, yourself, your dreams and this Earth ! With and without all the complexities.

Ya casi dos meses en Chile! 🇨🇱❤️ My grandmother had kept a drawing from when I was six that says in very funny misspelled Spanish "all that I wish for is to live in Chile again". When I was 17 I made a whole plan on how I'll be able to come back to Chile to reconnect with my roots through a research I started to be curious about regarding language loss and Mapuche culture. For the last 6 years I've been finding ways to make this a reality. In 2020 I got an internship that brought me back to my roots. Now, in 2025, I finally am living at home, in the land that saw my birth. It's been a beautiful, hefty, journey. March 7th now marks one of the most special trips I've had the honor of being part of. Going on a 3 day horseback Arriero trip into the Andes Mountain Range with my Tío Checho, Jonny, Rowan, myself, four beautiful horses, one machoo!(stubborn male mule) and two dogs. We were a big troop! Following the steps of my great-grandfather, his father, and the father of his father. The crisp air, burning sun, ample vastness of the valleys, endless matuesto friends, purely carnivore mountain diet haha and my many questions (asked and kept) merged the experience into a dream-like memory. It took me 10 years to live this exact moment, and a lifetime of pursuing a feeling of belonging. I am excited for the every day challenges of moving to a 'new place', for the learnings, for pursuing the grad studies I'm passionate about on Natural Resources Management and, in particular, I'm excited to dive into my ancestry. Eager to feel in my own skin what Chile is and how I relate to all of it. So far, my heart is full with love. ❤️🙂‍↕️

Y ahora, a las maravillosas personas que me han acompañado en éste último tiempo Thank you for your listening ears, your warm welcomings, thank you for those that built homes with me, thank you for the endless silliness, thank you to the ones always up for crazy improvised adventures haha, thank you to those that have believed in me from the first moment and the ones that encourage me to grow and be challenged, thank you for each of your beautiful love-sharing!! And giving!! Thank you for being complex people with hopes, dreams, and fears. Thank you for trusting me with those complexities I think of you often! I wish I had more videos and photos from all of the beautiful people that made me feel at home in Maine. Especially those that I see less often, yet I cherish tenderly ❤️❤️🫂🤠🌞🌿✨

Dearest Maine's Ocean | 11.09.2024 Farewell It has been my utmost honor to have visited you regularly for wisdom, reflection and inspiration. I always walked away in profound awe and deep nourishment. Ooh, your waters! Your salty frigid waters shocked my body to the core, every time. Only with you I've known what invigoration means. Dearest ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Frenchman's Bay (fastest warming coast in the world), I fear how much I will miss you, but I carry with me your fluidity, your expansive energy, your calmness and your striking force. I can't wait to reunite. I only wish even stronger that I will be able to steward you the same way you have been stewarding us. I owe you so much. How lucky I am to have had the chance to navigate your waters and meet some of the Islands that you hold. How lucky I am to have had the chance to learn from the people whose livelihoods rely on you, hear their stories and listen to their sentiments of a future. Thank you for these six years of endless care and love. Thank you for the millennia of tidal energies -- behind and ahead. Con amor, Isi

Armadillo 5.7 on Katahdin (5,269 feet) I'm still absorbing the astounding little excursion that we took over this past Wednesday when we climbed up the Armadillo route on Katahdin. I am in deep awe of the art of climbing. How closely intimate you get with the rocks and not only the rock but truly everything that forms and sustains the beautiful terrain that you get to interact with. Trust was aboundful. So much trust, in your climbing partner, in your body, in your movements, in the gear, in the rocks themselves and most importantly, your own mind -- for me, truly, the trust to not faint amongst it all. To be surrounded by mountains while hanging from the smallest ledge while belaying Rowan was such a deep and grounding experience. At first I was so excited I felt like a toddler that was seeing the world for the first time. The higher we got, the less I looked over the edge. We started the hike at 5am and returned at 11pm. This climb involved lots of bushwalking, crack climbing and thin ledge support. There is so much I could write about it but I'll keep it short: can't wait to go back to another big wall! 🏔️ "Ktàtən" in the Penobscot language translates to "the greatest mountain" or "elder mountain". It is the highest peak in Maine and it is sacred land for the Maliseet, Mi'kmaq, Passmaqoddy, and Penobscot nations. I have had the privilege to ascend it in the winter and it continues to leave me with a desire to learn more about its fascinating energy. FYI: two big surprises at the end!!! 🌞❤️⛰️🪇🐛🌿🪇

Fiesta en el Boske | May 24th 2024 Besides the purpose of highlighting how wonderful these amazing people are ❣️💥🤸, also a personal note to: at least learn one song so I can contribute to an open mic in the future :-) Heart expanded with love as we gave a beautiful farewell to what has been a lovely time at Otter Creek. More to come on that! Sending love, light, and warmth to everyone near and afar. Might bonfires surrounded by beautiful smiles and care fill your hearts as well.

Día de la Tierra, vida en la Tierra | 22 de Abril, 2024 The moon, the sun, the earth, the water, the fire and the wind. They feel more present when waking up at an off-grid cabin. Last night when I resettled my position in my sleep, for a second, I opened my eyes and through the west south window of the cabin the moon bathed the whole room with it's silver light. Before going to sleep, I had read that post full moon it's a good time to plant root vegetables as energies shift away from the surface towards the underground. That light felt special, unique, and powerful -- yet I only perceived it for a faint second as I quickly fell back asleep. The fire kept us warm this weekend, and throughout the winter back at Otter Creek. The other night, after Tristan left, I made a big fire that kept me awake most of the night :/. Way too hot for such a small space. On Saturday 4/20 the rain seemed to take ownership of the day, plants and the earth must have nourished. Once it stopped, I thought that it could have been the perfect opportunity to collect water to shower, specifically. There's plenty of water here thanks to the well, the pond and the duck's pond? However, it still felt like a missed chance. Slowing down and gaining awareness of these elements are some of the things I'm most excited about for the upcoming summer living off-grid at Zócalo. Immersing myself in permaculture practices. It's interesting how the concept of "spending time in nature" is so contemporary, specially on Earth Day. Aren't we all constantly "in" nature? As we are nature ourselves. What do we seek when we reach out to be in the so-called "nature"? Could we forge those experiences in our daily life? Peacefulness, quietness, slowing down, and being aware of what's around us, perhaps? Gracias Tristan por tu visita y por compartir tiempo lejos de las comodidades de la ciudad, conmigo!! 🦦

Julio 2023 | A summer tale It's impressive to look at these pictures and think that this is the same place as "wintery" Bar Harbor. The warmth, the ocean scent, the summer breeze, and the vibrant town is all resting swayed by these long nights; waiting to be welcomed back in just some months. Rest is very welcomed now, specially as the summer seems to slip through our fingers and evaporate in the blink of an eye. That first pic was a fun quest to fit in the frame -- it's a beautiful shot :~). Summer brings many beautiful things and one of them is the joy of effortlessly exploring nature with friends. July got warm days, refreshing nights, and mysterious fog. The ocean water was still artic cold yet a real exctasy for the body. It wakes up the last inch of skin and makes you want to swim endlessly. Unfortunately, lakes haven't seen to be that trustworthy. Fish there have built an interesting confidence. 🌊💛🐟🌞🐳 All of these snapshoots bring much love, warmth, and a longing excitement to the end of 2023

My heart exudes love for the beauty of the red clay that highlights the hills and fields of agricultural pastoral landscape in the outskirts of Madrid from the immense happiness to be reunited with friends who make me feel that time lives nowhere but in a capsule where months feels like ephemeral seconds de la gente de España; su calidez, interés, curiosidad, amabilidad, y acogida, que tanto ha abundado en esta visita -- mas no viene siendo novedad del arte!! La vida! Y el deseo de amar, crecer, cuidar e intercambiar ideas, conocimiento y perspectivas. Por los retos. Similarmente, con cariño, espero lo que traiga el futuro. Todo matizado con un regusto de emoción al saber que no queda otra que ser valiente. 🪱

Junio 2023 Deer Isle, Bar Harbor, Vermont, Boston Piezas llenas de ilusión y emoción del comienzo del verano. Muchas transiciones y logros importantes! So thankful, proud and happy about it all 🐲🦚🐳🪱🥂 **warm sun season... with clouds✨

A little sneak peak into @permatours It Takes A Village Fest! Talks about soil health and science, greening the 21st century, hempcrete building workshop, natural fiber dying, plant and mushroom foraging, meditation sessions and many arts of all sorts! -- so much to learn! Permaculture is a practice that integrates land, resources, people and the environment through "mutually beneficial synergies – imitating the no waste, closed loop systems seen in diverse natural systems." (Permaculture Research Institute) Many thoughts about this vibrating event!! If you are interested about permaculture look up their amazing resources and/or reach out to talkkk! 💚🌿
