From a young age I learned that the only constant thing in life is change. Some people become adverse to it and do everything in their power to control it, others embrace it with open arms and thrive on the excitment or challenges it might bring. I myself, as many already know, am the latter. In the past four years I've lived in more than five cities in two different continents and I enjoyed every minute of it. Of course, some days I missed family or friends I'd made in other places or wish I was sleeping in my bed "back home", but everything I learned, the skills I developed, and the memories I've made were definitely worth it. This past December, I got married to my best friend and the love of my life. A signifcant change that will lead to more stability and settling down some might say, but actually our lives are quite the opposite! Just when we thought we'd be staying in one place for more than a year, we got transferred to Toronto, Ontario, Canada. New stage in life, new city, new part of North America, new friends, new "home", and new culture. 

Change, change, change. I think by now family and friends of ours are used to us. In fact, I'm pretty sure they get excited because it means they get to visit new places that they might have never thought of going to before. Once upon a time, my career path took me to crazy places, and yes, sometimes I have to explain why my resume looks like I'm running from the law, but I'm happy that this time around I have someone to share these experiences with. 

I'm starting this website/blog/foto or memory album call it as you wish, to stay in touch with family in friends, to share stories and thoughts, to express myself as I continue to explore wherever life may take me.
