MY STORY

Hi, I’m Guadalupe, a born explorer. Adventure and curiosity run through my veins. And I guess that comes from my childhood.

Probably like you, as a child, my world has always been split in two: the version of myself I was expected to be vs the version of me that I truly am.

Maybe that has been your world too.

In my case, I came into this life as the daughter of a Jehovah’s Witness couple, growing up surrounded by strict beliefs and rules.

But when I was six years old, everything changed: my parents decided to take distance from the religious organization. Suddenly, the world I believed to be black-and-white began to show other colors; I was allowed to celebrate birthdays. To eat the birthday cake at school. “Go ahead,” they said, “you can have it now.” To sleep in on Sundays. And not rushing into any gathering for God’s sake…

My world crumbled, what was truth and what was not? What was I allowed to do and what was I not?

Inside of me I was still afraid. Afraid that God would punish me for eating that cake. Or for doing any of the things I was once told not to. Even when I grew up in my twenties, thos inner rules where still a voice in my head.

Somewhere deep down, those old beliefs were still shaping the way I saw the world , especially when it came to being a woman.

However, my soul began to explore. I was allowed to read about past lives, other religions and I started asking big, unusual questions at a very young age: about death, the afterlife, the meaning of it all. etc.

When I lost my father at nine years old, those questions became even louder.

At twenty-two, I reached a turning point: I was tired of living split between who I was told to be and who I knew I was inside.

So I said yes. Yes to the little girl inside me who always wanted to explore the world. Yes to my truth.

I packed my backpack, grabbed my tent, and began walking: from Spain to Montenegro. 3167KM. 5 Months.

 But what I was really exploring wasn't just the land. With every step I took on the outside, I was uncovering new landscapes within. New pieces of my soul. New pathways into who I truly am.

For you and I a journey is never about escaping. It’s not about holidays or disconnecting. It’s a sacred adventure.

An initiation into a deeper version of ourselves.

And while my own journey is still unfolding, and will be, until the day I leave this planet, part of my path now is to walk beside others. To walk beside you.

So welcome. Welcome, my dear life traveller.

And I realized something powerful: This journey isn’t just mine. It is yours, too.

 Because the path that led me into my own darkness — the shadows, the doubts, the grief — also led me to my light. To the fire I came here to be. And I believe you came here to be that light, too.

So maybe, just like me, you once dreamt — as a child — of traveling the world, of discovering breathtaking places, without knowing that the most beautiful landscapes you would ever find are already within you. And this is truly what you are searching for and discovering: you.
