About this ebook

What happens when the world suddenly stops as we know it? In May 2020, as the planet plunged into a global pandemic, my life took an unexpected turn. What began as a journey forced by necessity turned into a profound exploration that led me to delve into the most remote and beautiful places and my inner world.

As I traveled over 75,000 miles along the lonely roads of the United States, a new and uncertain landscape unfolded before my eyes. Amid moments of pain, loneliness, and transformation, I found solace in the gentle caress of waves on empty beaches. I shivered beneath star-filled skies and in ice-covered deserts. I discovered the subtle hues of dew-wrapped mornings and the most beautiful birds hidden in mangrove sanctuaries.

Despite having over forty years of experience in photography, my cameras could capture lights and colors. Still, they couldn't convey the emotions that these paths evoked. That's why, in WONDER, my images are not alone; my words and my stories accompany them. The book features nearly 300 high-resolution photos and hundreds more in the digital galleries of each chapter.

I had the pleasure of receiving an advance copy of this book pre launch. It’s been a long time since a book captivates me so much, the way the author tells her story, it makes you feel as if you were traveling with her. Her personal journey of resilience and how it takes her through a deep connection with nature it’s inspiring. The book it’s multimedia, contains hundreds of of professional photos of her travels, and additional links on each chapter to even more photos and videos online! Amazing

About the author

I am a Colombian photographer, artist, and storyteller. I began my journey, like many others, without a clear destination. I didn’t know how long it would last or what I would discover. I took my cameras, notebooks, and brushes to capture images and express my feelings and emotions.

I received photography and the passion for traveling as a legacy from my ancestors. I am the fifth generation of photographers in my family, and I have had a camera in my hands for as long as I can remember.
