Alright, sista. Get your mean face on. I used to laugh when I would realize how differently I walk down the street in Quito, Ecuador, a city of three million people where I stick out like a sore thumb versus how I am in the town I grew up in. I look rude. I’m not…
Adventures at home – weightlifting
I’m a skinny girl. The pro is that I have never struggled with overweightness. The con is that I have often struggled with having enough strength to make it through basic life activities. So finally, I had enough. I am a dancer (cardio has always been the easier part of fitness for me) and just…
Beware of the street food
Street food at your own risk. There’s something about those people who try everything, never worry, and never get sick. You know what I mean? They take every risk in the books and nothing happens so it only emboldens them to take more risks. They’re gonna eat the street food, love it, and be fine….

It was too late to go professional. My question in return: Is professional all…
the beauty is where you are at
There is beauty right where you are at. I’m working on growing my Instagram followers @amyaventurera because maybe one day I can just travel and write and create and if I have a billion followers maybe I can sell a book for a dollar and become a billionaire, right? But right now, I only have…
