Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
Ina de la Serna, a 37-year-old woman from Saladillo, Buenos Aires, Argentina, altered her life after receiving a cancer diagnosis at age 29 while also supporting her mother through the same illness.
Initially a visual arts teacher, Ina travelled extensively through New Zealand and Southeast Asia before returning to Argentina and taking on multiple teaching positions. She felt unfulfilled despite enjoying her work with children, longing to continue travelling.
A turning point came when her mother was diagnosed with aggressive cancer, prompting Ina to research the connection between diet and wellbeing. Shortly after, Ina herself received a cancer diagnosis, leading her to adopt a healthier diet and undergo chemotherapy. She found her body responded well to both changes, even while losing weight due to detoxification. Following her mother’s death and completion of chemotherapy, Ina sought a fresh start.
She travelled to Australia for a year, then returned to Argentina and moved to Córdoba to further study nutrition. She then purchased a Mercedes-Benz bus with savings, intending to convert it into a motorhome. A friend invited her to live in Villa Las Rosas, Córdoba, and Ina transformed the bus into a fully equipped home, complete with a kitchen, yoga space, and bedroom, allowing her to pursue a life of travel and share workshops on healthy eating.
