New Bed New Jump

#NewBedNewJump

One of the first things I did when I got my first digital camera as a teenager was to take a picture of me jumping on a bed, so it looked like I was levitating. For the past few years, I made a goal to myself of always jumping on every new bed I get to sleep at, and taking a picture. This is my way of constantly reminding myself of not taking  things too seriously.

I’ve currently jumped on more than 120 beds, in six different continents.

Definitely not how I’d have envisioned my “next trip” to be, but nonetheless, I’m beyond grateful for being able to have spent this week with my family. I realize that the more we love each other, the smaller the world gets.
528 calls. That’s the sum of my weekly calls to my grandpa since I’ve moved to US. Last week, when I spoke to him, I could not understand him anymore. It’s been over a year since he had the stroke that affected his speech. But I sti
Two years ago we signed a paper that made us “husband and wife”. We all know it’s not the paper who makes a husband though (or a wife). It’s the day after day of companionship, of laughs and silence, of knowing that there&rsqu
This is my last unpublished #newbednewjump . I started shelter in place on March 11 and although this has been the longest I’ve been without traveling, it has definitely been an inward trip. From what I’ve been hearing, everyone is going
It was hard to find a photo to represent my mom. She can’t easily be represented by photos or words. She’s strong and brave. But she’s also pure love. She has so much love inside her that sometimes she just can’t hold it. She&
We were supposed to be in Singapore today. It’s my mom’s birthday and every year we travel together to somewhere new. And every time we travel, we send postcards to each other (my mom started this tradition many years ago). So for her bir
#tbt 2008. I was 22, had already graduated college and was a full time construction architect, had my own apt and a stable relationship. It’s like my entire life was already figured out, nonetheless I felt lost and empty. The truth is that I ha
One of the reasons I’ve been enjoying SF so much is the social life. Differently than LA where I’d normally had to plan weeks in advance just to see a friend, here I’ve been able to meet my friends all the time, with just a quick te
My next #nostalgia goes to the summer of 2005 in Italy, studying industrial design, learning the language, eating gelato every day and riding trains. I’ve been thinking about this trip a lot lately because for the first time my friend and I wer
This #tbt goes back to May 2011, when I had the chance to explore Cuba with the one and only @kroubarboza . Fidel Castro was already sick, so we felt we needed to go ASAP, before it became modernized. We spent half of the week in Havana and the other
We still have nature. We still have each other. We still the power to find joy from within. We’ll be ok. 😊 #hike #pacifica #bayarea #quarentineandhike #quarentine
Given these weird times, I’m bringing the Kudo Kiddo back. Social distancing can have many negative aspects on our mood, so if you want a small spark in your day, sign up for it on the website (link in bio) and I’ll be personally sending
Whenever we remember, plan or imagine something, it activates the same areas of our brain as when we’re actually living it. Since my travels are on pause, I’m going back to old photos of trips I did long before I had Instagram. Starting w
#tbt to last week, when I was enjoying 75F in Palm Springs and Corona virus was just a silly thought in my head. Now we’re all working from home, stocking food and worried about toilet paper. 🙈 #saguaro #ps #palmsprings #palms #colors
Happy International Women’s Day! Here are some of the women that have inspired me lately. Being at #altsummit was also a great instigator. Being around so many creative women made my want to create more. May we all keep inspiring and lifting ea
Just got to spend 4 days surrounded by creatives and inspiring women. I already feel more creative myself as part of it! Also feel very grateful for the opportunity to run my own workshop with something that I’m so passionate about: how we can
I’m an anxious person. I’ve dealt with anxiety for pretty much my entire adult life. If I’m not busy doing something I’m busy thinking about what should I do next. But every once in a while, I do have some moments of tranquili
Most of you will know me as “Dantas”, but I’m also an “Araujo” (I mean figuratively and literally, as I have 4 last names). In fact, I grew up with my Araujo cousins and there were originally 14 of us. I say originally b
