🇺🇸 Laura traveled to New York! Last week I visited some friends in New York, and we took a ferry with an incredible skyline view.

🤳 Emss reached a milestone! I reached my first 1K followers on my Instagram, where I create HR-related content and share aspects of my life! Also, my latest TikTok has reached 36K views, making it my second-best performing TikTok after one that got 50.3K views!

And I would like to invite you all to find me on social media, hehe, with the handle @in.emslife.

💡 INSPIRATION: Two of my favorite podcasts are The Mindset Mentor by Rob Dial and On Purpose with Jay Shetty; they always motivate me to start my day on the right foot. Besides that, I enjoy reading self-help books, and I recently finished You're a Badass by Jen Sincero, which I highly recommend. For leisure reading, I'm currently reading Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow; it's an easy read that helps me start my day on a positive note.

When it comes to music, I have a wide range of tastes. I'm a huge fan of Mac Miller (If you haven't listened to him, please go ahead and listen to his music). I also listen to many Drake, Giveon, and Arctic Monkeys. Additionally, I enjoy listening to Spanish music, including Mora, Ferxxo, and Bad Bunny's songs, although I tend to avoid listening to them while working because I get too distracted.

📽️ WATCH: I have to confess that I'm a bit of a bookworm, so I don't watch TV shows or movies often. However, whenever I have free time, I love re-watching Friends, How I Met Your Mother, or Brooklyn 99. My boyfriend is obsessed with Billions, so I recommend that too.

⛰️ VISIT: One of my favorite places in 🇻🇪 Caracas is "El Avila," a beautiful mountain with a hotel at the summit, which you can reach by cable car. Recently, my friends and I decided to hike up to the summit, and it was an unforgettable experience. The view from the top was breathtaking (you can see the hotel at the top left corner). It was a challenging 6-hour hike, but our sense of achievement and satisfaction made it all worth it!
