Norsk Folkmuseum-Oslo, Norway: The World's First Open Air Museum

It’s been a whirlwind living in Amsterdam and a defining experience learning new perspective. The good that came from this is now leading to another, and I’m relocating to DC for a job in a field I’m passionate about 🥳 Missing this time I‘m lucky to have had and look forward to making my way back!

Summer makes the city a completely different place! With school over I’m seeing things in a new light and don’t think I realized just how stressful it was. It really changes you! Thanks to the wonderful friends I’ve made here, can’t wait to see you wherever we all end up next ✨

I love walking past this hardware store at night. When I cycle it distracts me and I’m the clumsiest thing on a bike. #Amsterdambynight #Amsterdam

I officially have a Master’s! . . Dutch graduation ceremony meant gathering in a multipurpose where I presented my thesis before signing my diploma. My Italian roommate brought us laurel crowns to wear afterwards per the tradition. No caps, no gowns, so we made our own celebration! . . . The point of this is to share that all of this wasn’t all fuzzy. I’m so lucky to have had this opportunity and to experience life in another country while seeking affordable higher education. What I’ve taken away from this is some serious confidence and self worth. I can’t wait to find the right job because this passion and motivation is AMAZING. . . . Grad school was one of the hardest things ever. Busted open all my insecurities and faults. They say it does that to you? I was reminded that my greatest strengths is perseverance and that I am human. . . . My thesis took longer than planned since my advisor left for medical reasons and I had to start from scratch in January. I also realized I had long term concussion symptoms and retired from roller derby game play. It’s left a big hole in my heart, but it’s shifted how I am involved and I’m grateful. Big changes. . . . So what’s next? Great question! Museums and the cultural sector are what brought me here and I’m hoping I can make an impact as a Latina working in a field that never felt like it was quite for people of my background. . . . I’m so proud of myself in ways I never knew was possible. Ready for what’s next. The bad and the good 💞 #latinainmuseums #museumpro #museumchat

Last minute Lisbon trip was an impulse to celebrate! My friends are engaged, cool museums, fun city 💞

Helllllllooooo 😘 #Perugia

The hermandad (sisterhood) of the traveling mochilla has reached The Netherlands! @Travel_latina’s shared bag was made in Colombia and gets mailed around to awesome places to travel with wonderful people. I’m excited to see where in Europe we go! Then I’ll send it onto the next viajera 💞 #hermandadofthetravelingmochila
