Every New Journey

 (REPOST) Cusco, Peru (02/23/2026) Every new Journey begins with a moment, when you reintroduce yourself anew, to everything you have ever known. The soul takes rebirth, and lingers in a sweetness that tastes similar to ginger candy, and shares the same aroma. So, Hi there! My name is Camila Wilson. I'm a yogi & singer-songwriter from Houston, Texas, but I was born in Atlanta, Georgia. I'm a Guatemalan American who grew up in the mountains, out in the woods, in suburban neighborhoods and along the brackish coast of the Gulf of Mexico.  I've been developing a platform over the last 6 years that has successfully campaigned for active change, social advocacy, and raised funds for world charity organizations like Polaris Project: Anti Human Trafficking , Star of Hope Women's Family Shelter, and Sanfilippo Children's Research Foundation.

How it's going - February 2026

I was in San Marcos la Laguna going to Urban Circus International aerial silk and lyra courses and playing Open Mics. The money came through, so I climbed Volcán Atitlán and camped overnight, and after went to Ecuador to find a guide for an upcoming trek to summit Chimborazo, the second highest peak in South America, and train at high altitude. After training the the volcanos of Guatemala and the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, I feel confident with this guide, I will successfully summit Chimborazo.

 I'm in Houston Texas. The city is big, but the name is still associated with a small town. I love living here. There's work and you can meet just about anyone anywhere you go. I ended up not going to Aconcagua. My sponsor fell through and I used the money that I had to travel to Machu Picchu instead. It was an amazing journey. I saw the red sand dunes of the Atacama Desert. I surfed in the small town of La Serena while working as a gardener for the Arbol Hostel and Glamping center. I fell in love with the journey and found strength within myself that I feel only sets the stepping stones for future adventures. My love for my partner and my best friend grew stronger and vanished all at the same time. I had to face the reality that I was not going to live a conventional life, but that it was time to settle down somewhere in the world. I spent a lot of time rebuilding myself, to where I could feel accomplished in my efforts and grateful for the person I had become.  (02/23/2026) ...
