Nice to meet you
Hi, there! My name is Lucy Lara.
I like to explore places and the beauty of the world and I write about it here. Let’s wander together!
How it all started?
Never stop Wandering…
When I was in my early twenties I started running. First, I’d go out and run from the house, run a few laps around until I’d accomplish my goal for the day; sometimes it was two laps, others 30 minutes. Little by little I started getting better and enjoying it more; I had more strength and stamina. Later on I joined a running club and met a lot of other runners who encouraged me to sign up for races. I wanted to run a marathon and my dad, who was also a runner, and I started to train with with the club. I was living in Mexico at the time and signed up to run the San Francisco marathon because the running club was signing up for that race. My dad and I traveled to San Francisco to run our first marathon and although it was very hard, we both loved it. I became a marathon runner after that experience and continued to run for another 25+ years. Running was a window that showed me many other opportunities in life; meeting new friends, learning about running, competing, and also traveling. Traveling to run races was an incredible experience that I enjoy to this date and that’s how all started.
I have traveled to many places in the United States, Mexico, Canada, Argentina, Europe and Asia. Most of my travels are for running, but some of them are for work as well. Of course, I enjoy traveling for fun a lot more than for work, but nonetheless traveling is a way to explore and see the world from different perspectives.
