About Flor

¡Hola, soy Flor! Podría decir que el gran cambio vino de la mano de un viaje largo, unos 14 meses por Europa y Asia en el que hice clic. Colgué mi super traje de contadora pública (no más zapatos de tacón ni maquillaje) y salió a la luz un universo de cosas de las que era capaz: descubrir lugares recónditos, escribir sobre viajes y dedicarme a ello, hacer lindas fotografías, dibujar, pintar, coser, cocinar rico y ser madre, con toda la paciencia y amor que esta tarea requiere.
