Beautiful people: Portrait selection [+ Visual diary].

Exactly 1 month ago I started this journey called "inmigration", a month ago I arrived to Buenos Aires from Venezuela. With leaving the nest, comes a lot of leaving behind, specially leaving people behind. Some might say that this is a posibility to re-invent yourself, a second chance in life, a chance of getting surrounded by a bunch o new people, trying new things and even it can be seemed as a "new wardrobe".

Of course, with new chances comes a lot of solitude. I have to admit, it hasn't been easy. Trying to find yourself in a city so big can be overwhelming, even scarier. The path has been rough, finding a job, dealing with the inmigration paperwork thing, saving all the money I can, even trying to not get lost while going somewhere is perhaps exhausting (sounds like a dream huh?). But not everything has been that bad; as I mentioned at the beginning of the nonsense talking, surrounding myself by a bunch of new people has been all an experience, that I'm thankful for.

People I've met this far has been special in their own way. Even if I don't get to see them everyday or even if it's about my roommate, they bring joy and light to this new life. So, I decided to collect a few photos I've made this far and give a little shout out to these amazing human beings:

She's from Lima, Perú. The one that plays soccer with me sometimes and also bake me cookies (they're so tasty btw). She has a 6 daughter named Zoe. She's a remarkable person, always tries to make you smile and comes up with clever ideas to solve the day.

His name is actually Juan Martín, I find it really funny because pato means duck in spanish. He's a giggle! He works at the same coffee shop with Ari, Estefani and my rommie. Don't pay too much attention to the photo, he's never that serious. He's actually the one that is goofy all the time, I go to the coffee shop just to talk random things with him.

She's the one that always has something to say, but in a good way. She also works with coffee, but in another coffee shop. She's venezuelan and.. A lawyer! Maybe one day she'll get me out of trouble?

She's from La Patagonia, Argentina (I invite you to google that place, is AMAZING). Yes, she also works with coffee, actually in the same cafeteria with Pato, Ari and my roommate. This far you can guess how much coffee I've drink since I arrived to Argentina.

The one who is a chef and feeds my cravings! He's venezuelan too, he arrived a couple of days after me. We met each other back in Venezuela, but we became closer here. He always accompanies me when I'm out to walk the streets to deliver some resumes in this job quest. Quite a character I might say, he wear Dragon Ball t-shirts, but don't let it cheat you.. He's very serious when it comes to important stuff.

Yes, she has three names! Because one isn't enough. She's also venezuelan and guess what.. She's my roommate! She's the one who took me in as I arrived, I'm so grateful for her. We've known each other for a few years and became closer here. I guess that with adversity comes friendship. She's the master barista of the coffee shop, I've learned a lot of her, now I can actually make a decent coffee cup myself at home. Her tattoos? Oh yes, she has a lot! She's taught me patience and persintance, she's actually my pillar in this adventure. The one that always gives me some soft words (and a really tough ones too) when I need them. I really love her and appreciate her.

These are the people that I call my friends now, can even call them my family. I'm grateful for them and actually hope our friendship actually grows along with time. I was told once that happiness isn't the destination, it's the journey, didn't find it a lot of sense at first; but now.. I can totally embrace it.
