METAMORPHOSIS
Decide to change course
Hello! I’m Daniela, an engineer and commercial pilot who decided to change her course radically. I used to have a "conventional" and stable life, employment, comfort and secluded holiday adventures as standard living permits. I always thought of doing something different, that would make me more free and happy, although many voices, external and internal, told me it was crazy. But the dreamy ideas did not stop, and they were slowly forging this flying fish, the new path had already begun.
The only thing that is constant is change
Heraclitus
It was necessary to draw up a plan, general and flexible, which I had to adapt many times, but that was not a problem. If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my professional experience it’s that, as Heraclitus said, the only thing that is constant is change.
The big leap
My goal was to travel freely and live from diving, teaching others the magical experience of diving into the vastness of the blue.
¡And it was time to give it all up! Take the big leap and dump my life in 180°. In 2017 I began the adventure, a long journey to discover new horizons. A new mode of movement, according to the flow of heart and mind, step by step, day by day. The adjusted itineraries were no longer the pattern, but the rhythm was dictated by the present, the here and now...
Not everything was easy, that’s true, the road has challenges, to turn your life around requires reinvention and work, to overcome obstacles with detachment and courage, but if you have the will to do so you will achieve it.
Connection with new cultures and realities
I crossed countries, cities and towns, meeting and laughing with locals and travelers, living intensely and thanking for being able to witness so many different cultures, religions and places, and sharing diverse experiences with charming people, every person has taught me something valuable. I reaffirmed that the basis for healthy human coexistence is to accept that not everyone thinks the same, and not to suffer for that, respecting each other is the key.
No juzgo lo que está bien o mal o lo que es real y no está en la cultura.

Fulfilled dreams
And so, studying along the way I became a nomadic scuba instructor, yes, I did it! Today my home is wherever I am, usually nature, a beach or an island, and my office the sea. I dive into the magic and mystery of the deep, and it’s my best therapy, the underwater world gives me the peace and adrenaline I need.
You’re moved by your star, your passion, and your family and friends support you, even if it means seeing you less. They do it because they know that what you work for every day with love is what makes you truly free and happy.
