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. After traveling in Mexico, Central and South America, I feel my understanding of sociocultural diversity and the need for representation of the voiceless was needed, and happily encouraged! That is why my songs and poems reflect an intrinsic empathy and interpersonal connection between the audience and myself.

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.

The city is big, but the name is still associated with a small town. I love living there. There's work and you can meet just about anyone anywhere you go.

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,...
