Hello family and friends,

I'm about to turn 23 years old and reflecting on my goals for this year. In a time where I have all the stuff I need, I've decided to make an effort to travel this year. Experiences > stuff.

If you were thinking of buying me a physical gift this year, I ask for contributions to my travels instead!

My awesome/cool/smart sister is moving to Chile soon on a Fulbright research scholarship. I will be visiting her in September! Following that trip, I'll be flying to São Paulo, Brazil, to see my best friend and four-year college roommate Luca Maria. Ever since I met Luca at NYU in 2020, we've dreamed of her showing me around São Paulo, meeting her family that lives there, seeing the beaches she grew up going to, and traveling together.

If I can get tickets far enough in advance, I'll be able to budget all three flights for under $1,000! Thank you all for all your love and support!

With love,

Isabel
