Marcela Olivera Mendez

Marcela Olivera Mendez was born in Hamburg in 1992, a
Gemini, and grew up in Eckernförde on the Baltic Sea. Born
Marcela Ehrbeck, she later took on the Uruguayan maiden
name of her mother. She feels deeply rooted in her mothers
family, even with thousands of kilometers between South
America and Germany.
After completing a Master of Arts in fashion design
at HTW Berlin and working in the fashion industry, she
turned her back on her old life. Today, she works as a so-
cial media manager and feels closely connected to Mallorca
and California.
During her solo travels, she began to read a lot, above
all Ralph Waldo Emerson and Paulo Coelho. They inspired
her to look at nature and at people in their original state: as
small children, as beings who simply exist. In anime she
finds her soul, and in animals her friends.
She, too, had to change everything and then change her
changes all over again. When we are not ready to take the
risk, life and difficult circumstances sometimes push us to
change anyway. For her, this went on until she came closer
to her inner calling. And the many chapters she has lived
through are far from over.
