Even if you still don’t know what you want the drawing to look like, the most important thing is that you feel represented in it, that it speaks of you, and all the experiences that your travels will bring you.

Lily

Lily is happy with a backpack on her back. Every year she travels through one country in Latin America and has repeated several times, especially Peru where she says she feels at home (although she says the same about Argentina, Chile and Bolivia).

She loves ceviche, hiking and Sunday picnics with her friends, although whenever you ask her, she's always planning her next destination.
