Hi, I’m Marcela.

I’m a woman, a mom to cat and humans, a wife, a friend, a daughter, a sister, a reader, a writer, a traveler, a home-body, a gardener, a lawyer, a photographer, an introvert, an explorer, a nerd, and a mystic. I believe life is complex and nuanced, and that living it fully requires commitment, compassion and depth.  I wear, thus, many hats and hold many “MEs” within myself. 

I was born in Argentina, met my husband in Ivory Coast, had my children in Cyprus and now live in Vienna, Austria- a city I adore. Each new city asked of me something new and the roles I played changed with every destination. This website and its blog have reflected the changes of the past 13 years- and narrated parts of the previous ones as well. 

I never deleted any blog post, no matter how “outdated”, because every one of them is part of my journey. The bad photos, the lifestyle posts, the old family recipes are as much a part of me as the features in important publications, the cookbook photos, the branding videos and the marketing advice I shared for 10 years- and you can find them all here. 

Vienna asks of me to walk a different path now. Perhaps every move requires of us a small death: that we leave behind some parts of who we were so we can fully transform into who the new Land requires us to become. For three years, I’ve waited for this land to speak to me, while shedding layers of who I was before. As of August 2022, I’m still uncertain of where the new path will lead me but I now know that it’s time to start walking nonetheless. Wherever the road takes me, you’re welcome to come along with me.
