In September last year, I started swimming in open water with a very simple yet meaningful goal: to complete the crossing of the Guadiana River in Alcoutim. A popular event that has been held for many years and continues to bring together people of all ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I clearly remember that the year before, I was watching the crossing almost jokingly and said, \u201cNext year, that\u2019ll be me out there.\u201d I said it without much certainty, but with something inside me telling me not to forget that idea.\n\nMy cousin was the first to believe in me and encourage me.

Life is made of exactly this: challenges, decisions, and the courage to step outside our comfort zone. Because that\u2019s where we grow, evolve, and surprise ourselves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
