Hello! My name is Carmen Bellos

I believe traveling across continents is one of the most powerful ways to spark insight, build empathy, and develop a profound appreciation for cultures beautifully different from our own.


By sharing stories from my journeys—the missteps, the surprises, and the moments of wonder—I hope to awaken the explorer in you and inspire your own curiosity to venture beyond the familiar.

My Latest Work

My latest published work appears in issue 13 of Panorama: The Journal of Travel.  Buongiorno is a short story that takes place during my several month stay in the Tuscan region of Italy. 


Here is an excerpt...

“I’m betting airport security is looking through your things,” says my host Ursula over our Italian breakfast, a sugary pastry and full-strength coffee, on her terracotta patio.

“Are they looking for contraband?” I ask. 

My backpack wasn’t in baggage claim when I arrived in Pisa last night. The “Aeropuerto” said it would take at least a week to find it, and I’m still wearing yesterday’s sweatpants and rumpled T-shirt.
