Hi, there! I’m Paula.

I’m a proud Colombian-born immigrant and a grateful American citizen, the oldest of five children, and Gabe’s wife.

I’m a recovering workaholic living in Boone, NC, and finding balance between what really matters in life and what really doesn’t.

What does matter? My relationship with Christ, my marriage and family, my health. Pursuing my passions with renewed (if you’re a recovering workaholic you know what I mean) energy in this season has been the goal. Traveling all over, finding food tours where available, and reading my heart out. And WRITING. I can’t forget about that one passion that has brought me back here to you all.

I’m here to offer encouragement, tips and insights on travel + food recommendations, and the latest book on my reading list. This is, if you will, the Paula-tics of life. A little bit of this, and a little bit of that.

I’m so glad you’re here!
