Coucou lovelies,

As I start this New Year under the Spanish sun, I couldn’t be more excited for the adventures ahead. I’ve truly enjoyed my time in Portugal and Spain over the past few weeks, soaking in the beauty and energy of both countries. My semester kicks off with an intense schedule, but I’ll be doing my best to accommodate dates that are planned in advance. This New Year marks a significant shift in my personal and professional journey, as this chapter of my current job slowly comes to an end. While I still have time, I’m eager to connect and create lasting memories with all of you.

I’m also incredibly grateful for everything this experience has allowed me to accomplish. Many exciting projects are on the 2026 horizon that wouldn’t have been possible without the support of so many of you. I’m deeply thankful for the opportunities to reflect, grow, and share this journey together. Let’s make the most of 2026 together!
