My Travel Story

Dear friends, kind strangers, and generous souls,


I’m reaching out today with an unusual request. After a particularly difficult year, I’d love to fulfill a long-held dream of mine: to travel through Brazil and Colombia, explore these two beautiful countries, experience their vibrant cultures, and reconnect with myself.


This dream represents more than just a trip. It’s an opportunity for me to find peace and balance after going through a tough time. I worked for myself, but unfortunately, after months of struggling to keep my business afloat, I had to close it down. This has been challenging, both financially and personally.


I had hoped to fund this journey on my own or even seek a bank loan, but as a struggling entrepreneur, no bank was willing to support me. So, with humility, I turn to you. I understand that this request may seem less urgent compared to other more pressing needs, and I strongly encourage you to help those who are in more precarious situations than mine.


That being said, I want to express this wish just like any other: the desire to offer myself this moment of escape, renewal, and discovery. If you feel inclined to support me on this journey, any contribution, no matter how small, would mean the world to me. But if you prefer to direct your help toward more urgent causes, I completely understand, and I thank you just the same.


Thank you for taking the time to read my message, and thank you from the bottom of my heart for any support you can offer.


With gratitude,
