Hi, I'm Marisa! 👋​

​

Born under the Venezuelan sun but carried by wanderlust winds across Europe, I'm a professional over-thinker who has called Venezuela, Spain, Ireland, and now the United Kingdom home. Have you ever felt lost in thought, staring out a window while your coffee gets cold? That's me pretty much every day. Welcome to my little corner of the internet, where being "up in the clouds" isn't just a saying—it's a way of life.

​

Why "Up in the Clouds"?

​

Since I was little, I've been told I have my head in the clouds—always thinking, always dreaming, always reflecting. But you know what? Those cloudy thoughts have led to some of my best adventures, most profound insights, and most meaningful connections. From Venezuela to various European corners, my thoughts have travelled even further than my feet. So, I decided to embrace it and create this space where fellow dreamers can feel understood, connected, and at home.

The Woman Behind the Words​​

​

• Venezuelan heart with a European soul

• Overthinker extraordinaire

• Collector of moments, memories, and passport stamps

• A firm believer in the power of a good cup of coffee while observing people and the world go by.

• Cultural chameleon and proud of it

• Solo traveller with ever-growing mini-dreams to fulfil.

• Advocate for deep conversations and genuine connections.

​

My Promise to You

​

This isn't just another blog—it's a conversation that transcends borders. A space where we can:

• Share our stories without judgment

• Embrace our overthinking tendencies

• Find comfort in knowing we're not alone in our reflections

• Explore the beauty of different perspectives

• Maybe even laugh about the chaos of life together

Fun Facts About Me

​

1. I can get lost in thinking about anything from life's meaning to why pizza is round but comes in a square box.

2. I love Cats, Giraffes, Donkeys and Cacti. My favourite colours are purple and yellow!

3. I love to colour, to draw and paint with watercolours

4. I don't have a bucket list; I have Mini Dreams; for me, it doesn't matter the size of the dream but rather the importance we give to the wish.

5. I love fashion and playing with clothes and colour, I own my style!

6. I'm convinced that the best way to understand a culture is through people-watching sitting on a cafe.
