About Me

Born and raised in Hood River, Oregon. Daugther of Mexicanos that immigrated to the US and found jobs as Farmworkers. Proud Mexicana-Americana with many dreams. Sounds so cliché but, I am really just trying to live the life of my dreams and that involves a lot of exploring of the world ( Thank you lord baby Jesus for planes) I am so grateful for being born in the U.S of A because that means I have a passport, which is essentially a ticket to anywhere in el mundo (granted I have the money to travel, of course) I am grateful for that and recognize what a privilege it is. I hope to inspire you to travel through my adventures, especially women and POCs.

I am a nomad at heart and I think that is why I have two feet, and not raíces- I just need to travel and explore as much as I can be it my hometown, my country or across the world. I just have to, my body and soul needs it. I love learning and I am eternally curious. I believe in filling my heart and pockets with memories and not money. I believe it taking many pictures as a return ticket to places and memories I have created. I believe in internationalization and learning about other cultures that are not my own. I believe in good food and good people. I believe in happiness, and above all I believe in love. Mucho mucho Amor.

Con cariño,

Yesi

P.S Listen to what your heart desires, I promise you will find happiness there.

¡Ya llegué!

This is where I am staying, Karana Residence. I finally made it to Bali, Indonesia ! Goodness. So many emociones. I left Oregon on Tuesday... and arrived today Thursday at 2:40pm Bali time. Woah. My first flight from Portland was to Canada ( 1.5 hour flight), then Canada to Singapore (13 hour flight), then Singapore to Manila (3.5 hours ) and finally Manila to Bali ( 3 hours) + about 9 hours at airport transfers... phew!!!  As soon as I arrived at the Bali airport I took out some rupiahs from the ATM and headed out to find a taxi. My "taxi" ended up being some random guy who wasn't a taxi and got lost trying to find Karana... sigh. Wasted 1 whole hour, I mapped it out beforehand and  it was supposed to be a 6 minute drive from airport (eye roll) The roads in Bali are like a labyrinth and everyone is on scooters. Once I got settled I threw my stuff in my room and headed to the beach.  I got to see the sunset and after all those flights and lost ...

Corazón contento en Bali

" Pictures are a one way ticket to a memory..." - unknown Well I haven't blogged in some days now ( I don't plan on blogging every single day... some of you asked ) A lot has happened and my heart has been racing with excitement every single day. I am In love with the Islands of Indonesia, and I hope that you all can experience it some day. It's true that pictures are worth a thousand words, so here are some pictures and small captions. It's Tuesday on my side of the world, and my week in Indonesia is almost over. Every single time I go to a beach and go horseback riding I ask if I can take the horses into the water, thus far different state and country rules of places I have been to don't allow it. In the Gilli Islands horseback riding in the ocean is possible. I have  always wanted to ride in the ocean! My horse was swimming, I was swimming and the wind that hit my face whispered words of freedom. Goal number #35 - check!  ...

Koyo

"Before it's your favorite place, it's a place you've never been " It is Koyo ( the changing color of the leaves, autumn) season! I have always loved the fact that Oregon gets 4 seasons. Japan gets four seasons as well! The bright oranges and reds are just incredible here. I have been revisiting some of my favorite spots around my new town to see how they change with the seasons. Here are some pictures at Jogakura Bridge.
