It all started with books. Many books…
From a very young age…

…in a pretty remote place

With a constant objective: to keep the doors open

In 2005, my 6 months backpacking in Asia gave birth to my blog
![Page 13: My personal story](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021500/586ff9211a28ab92198b78cd/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
On my way back, I decided I wanted to have a career with a social impact
![Page 14: My personal story](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021500/586ff9211a28ab92198b78cd/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Until I reached a tipping point
![Page 15: My personal story](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021500/586ff9211a28ab92198b78cd/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
That was also the start of myentrepreneurial journey
![Page 16: My personal story](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021500/586ff9211a28ab92198b78cd/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
A rocky one…
![Page 17: My personal story](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021500/586ff9211a28ab92198b78cd/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
“You enter the forest at the darkest point, where there is no path.Where there’s a way or path, it is someone else’s path.Each human being is a unique phenomenon.The idea is to find your own pathway to bliss.”
![Page 18: My personal story](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021500/586ff9211a28ab92198b78cd/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
First, I needed to find my tribe
![Page 19: My personal story](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021500/586ff9211a28ab92198b78cd/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Because it can be a lonelypath
![Page 20: My personal story](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021500/586ff9211a28ab92198b78cd/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
So I joined networks of like-minded souls
![Page 21: My personal story](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021500/586ff9211a28ab92198b78cd/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Learning from ordinary peoplewith extraordinary ideas…
![Page 22: My personal story](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021500/586ff9211a28ab92198b78cd/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Stories from a bottom-up movement
![Page 23: My personal story](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021500/586ff9211a28ab92198b78cd/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
I was an entrepreneur in search of a project
• Global mindset• Not geographically bounded• Economically sustainable• Social impact• Gender-related• Still keep open doors (not too focused)• Spreading positive stories and projects
![Page 24: My personal story](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021500/586ff9211a28ab92198b78cd/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
My first attempt was to set up the Impact HUB in Barcelona
![Page 25: My personal story](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021500/586ff9211a28ab92198b78cd/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Then I applied to organize TEDxBarcelonaWomen
![Page 26: My personal story](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021500/586ff9211a28ab92198b78cd/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
And that’s when I lost my financial stability
![Page 27: My personal story](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021500/586ff9211a28ab92198b78cd/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
And now what?
![Page 28: My personal story](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021500/586ff9211a28ab92198b78cd/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
I went to TED Active and got reboosted
![Page 29: My personal story](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021500/586ff9211a28ab92198b78cd/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

But it was not a low-hanging fruit…
![Page 31: My personal story](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021500/586ff9211a28ab92198b78cd/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
So I went to Bali and got reboosted again
![Page 32: My personal story](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021500/586ff9211a28ab92198b78cd/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

When I realized how much I enjoyed working on stereotypes
and changing the narrative
![Page 34: My personal story](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021500/586ff9211a28ab92198b78cd/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
