"When life gets tough, books and determination can be your strongest allies."

       This is one of the remarkable statements made by Natalie Osorio, also known as @phoebook on Instagram, a bookstagram influencer and travel enthusiast. We learn about Natalie's transformative journey that led her to discover her passion for literature and travel, as well as overcoming various obstacles and criticism.

       Natalie shares that she started reading in her mid-20s during a difficult time when she was dealing with depression. Books became her solace and aided her in her healing process, which prompted her to fall in love with literature. Through reading, she not only found comfort but also saw herself in the stories she read, which helped her regain her strength and inspired her to pursue her dreams.

       One of her dreams was to study music in the United States. So at the age of 20, without knowing any English, Natalie moved to the USA to pursue her undergraduate degree.

Instead, she has found a supportive and lovely group of people who have helped her connect with amazing individuals who share her love for books. She attributes this to her positive mindset and dedication to her passion, which is something she believes is paramount in achieving success.

       Natalie's positive attitude is reflected in her life motto, "Obstacles enable us to polish our lives and find our passions and purpose!" This mantra has driven her to continue pursuing her dreams and inspire others to do the same.

       When asked which book she would bring on a soul-searching backpacking trip, Natalie says she would choose a book that is set in the country she plans to visit to help her connect with the environment and culture fully.

       In conclusion, Natalie's journey is one of resilience, determination, and passion for literature and travel.
