Hi, I’m Andrada — writer, traveler, and eternal noticer.
I’m always searching for meaning in the small and the beautiful. This site is a space for thoughtful readers and curious souls.
Tweak How It Glows™ — a philosophy of soulful, intentional living
This is the heart of my work — the belief that you don’t need to reinvent yourself to feel whole. You simply adjust your glow: the light of your attention, your compassion, your presence.
Here you’ll find reflections, poems, stories, and quiet wisdom that help you tune into that glow — the one that was always yours.
In Venice, I got lost for hours and ended up at a tiny bakery where a woman insisted I try her family’s Tiramisu. We spoke no common language but that slice—creamy, delicate, unforgettable—told me everything I needed to know….
I started writing poetry not because I had something important to say, but because I had too many feelings and no other way to say them. One winter afternoon, caught between heartbreak and hope, I scribbled a few lines in the margins of a book I was reading. The words didn’t rhyme. They didn’t even make much sense. But they were mine. Since then, poetry has become a kind of second language—one I turn to when feelings are too full, or when I want to offer a quiet kind of wisdom that doesn’t need to explain itself.
A Passion 4 Life — Tweak How It Glows
There’s a certain kind of beauty that doesn’t ask for attention — it just glows quietly when we notice it. That’s what A Passion 4 Life is about: the small shifts that change how we see, the stories that turn movement into meaning.
Through Travel & Flight Stories, I follow skies that remind me how wonder feels — the hush before takeoff, the first light over water, the way every journey becomes a mirror. I love how the art of slow travel echoes the reflections shared by National Geographic Travel — journeys that open not just maps, but hearts.
In Well-Being & Reflections, I write about the rituals that keep our inner compass steady.
Sometimes it’s quiet — a journal, a walk, a breath — and sometimes it’s learning from the science of kindness through places like Greater Good Science Center. Here, well-being isn’t about perfection. It’s about the gentle art of noticing — tweaking the moment until it glows.
Words are where I come home. In Writing & Research, I wander through poetry, memory, and the stories that shape how we think about identity and change. I return often to the Poetry Foundation — a reminder that language itself is a form of flight. Writing is my way of mapping the world from within; it’s how I learn to see both the beauty and the ache, and hold them in the same sentence.
A Passion 4 Life lives in those small illuminations — a travel path, a poem, a page that shifts something unseen. It’s the space between movement and meaning, the quiet decision to tweak what you can, when you can, and when you want….and let it glow.
