How it All Started
"I spent countless hours sketching palm trees and islands, even dedicating a full wall in my room to a mural of a tropical sunset over the water. The tropics were—and still are—etched into my soul."
"And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it."
Paulo Coelho
