“For better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live the grey twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat”
 
This one’s for all the single mothers out there – and for all those having their own battles to do…
 
Behind that typical LA smile, those big eyes and long dark hair - Natalia is different than what your first impression might be. Single mom at an age that some people judged as too young, she moved out of LA to little Belgium to raise her son alone. It would have been easy to see her as a victim – easy to think her life revolved only around her child and the possible difficulties of it all. And yet her interests, her hobbies, her will and her positive energy – are all the things that complete this person and her life.
What Natalia has – and that I’ve seen in many travellers – is the spirit to keep pushing through. The spirit to keep hoping – despite the difficulties on the road. Never have I heard her complain, and never have I seen her lose colors for life.
Because life just didn’t stop when she had her son…it only just began.
