Ocotea Hotel & Tours | Where Costa Rica Teaches You How to Wander Differently

Monteverde has its own energy. It moves, it hums, and it wraps you in that cloud-forest atmosphere that feels alive in every direction. Walking here isn’t just “a walk”, it’s a small adventure through one of Costa Rica ’s most fascinating ecosystems. And staying at Ocotea Hotel is exactly that, stepping into a cloud-forest basecamp that turns you into the kind of person who suddenly knows things about mushrooms and coffee fermentation and tarantulas who prefer the spotlight

My Story: How Fashion Became the Beginning of Everything

Fashion has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a child, I would wrap myself in my grandmother’s silk scarves, creating little outfits and imaginary catwalks long before I knew what a career in style could look like. Those early moments shaped my eye, my curiosity, and the way I see the world today.

The day I decided to walk away from textile design school was, unexpectedly, one of the best days of my life. It gave me the clarity and freedom to start something that felt far more aligned with who I was becoming. That was the day my blogging journey began—an adventure that opened the door to storytelling, creativity, and an entire digital universe I still love exploring.

Over the years, my work naturally expanded into new territories: beauty, travel, and the broader lifestyle world. Each domain inspires me in its own way, yet fashion remains my first love - the foundation of my creative voice and the reason this journey started in the first place.

If anything, my path proves that style is more than having a big wardrobe, it’s about identity, evolution, and the courage to reinvent yourself when something inside tells you it’s time.
