About Me

Hello. My name is Kristin Velez.

I am a marketing consultant by day and painter/photographer/crocheter and cook by night. My heart really lies within traveling and learning about different cultures. I will be writing about travel tips, painting and DIY projects, as well as adding some cooking recipes. I am at a point in my life where I am enjoying what life has to offer me. And right now - life is offering me the freedom to travel, paint and learn new recipes whenever I want!
