    Experiencias que abrieron mi corazón al mundo.

    Una conversación con Juan Camilo Roman Estrada. Crecer en una familia llena de amor y explorar la naturaleza moldeó mi sentido de pertenencia. 🌳 Desde nadar en ríos hasta escalar montañas, esas experiencias abrieron mi corazón al mundo.Cuando llegué por primera vez a Islandia, sentí que estaba llegando a casa. Me recordó a los Andes, con sus paisajes majestuosos y sus colores vibrantes. 🏔️Me di cuenta de que mi hogar no está limitado a un solo lugar; se ha expandido. Llevo a Colombia muy cerca de mi corazón, pero Islandia también se siente como otra parte de él. ❤️
