I remember that once I was walking with Pablo and we saw an old woman, very thin and very wrinkled, leaning on a walker, holding a shopping bag, walking like this: (1) slide right foot 5cm forward, (2) slide left foot 5cm forward, repeat (1) and (2), (3) lift walker and land it 10cm ahead.  ‘Time is a crazy thing’, Pablo said. And right there, when I though he was going to reflect about old age, he was creating the Quotidian Theory of Relativity: ‘In an hour you can shower, make dinner, have dinner and walk to the corner to buy cigarettes, can you imagine how little she can hold in an hour?’

About:

My name is Luz and I move a lot, form apartment to apartment, from city to city, from country to country.
Over time I have developed my own small nomadic idiosyncrasy. I've given up my material possessions more than once. I grew apart from people and then re-found them. I have entered places foreign and then became local. I learned to cook food with varied ingredients and to love goat cheese.
Wandering is about experiencing. Not everything has been great, not everything has gone as planned. Maybe not everything was planned that well. But there was also good in the unexpected. I've encountered and all kinds of things, people and places: some that I met along the way, some that I left behind and learned how different they look from afar, and some that just popped into my mind during a long train ride alone.
