Coca and her Mumma

Paula, known as PJ by her loved ones, has always had a deep passion for travel, exploring nearly 40 countries along the way. From immersing herself in new languages to visiting iconic landmarks and sampling diverse cuisines, each journey has been an adventure. She lived in Japan for ten years, which enriched her love of cultures and languages. In addition to her travels, PJ is an avid poet, though despite her friends’ encouragement to publish her work, she never felt quite inspired – until 2022, when she met Coca.

Craving another adventure, PJ decided to spend six months in Salta, Argentina. There, she was welcomed into the home of the kind Deane family – Alec, Ivon, Lucas, and Manu – who opened their hearts to her. But it was their dog, Coca, who stole PJ's heart from the moment they met. It was an instant connection, and soon after, she and Coca began to explore the streets of Salta together. As their bond deepened, it became clear to everyone around them.

When the Deane family offered to let PJ take Coca back to the U.S., PJ found herself torn. How could she take Coca away from her family, yet how could she imagine life without her? During a heartfelt conversation with Alec and Ivon, Alec simply said, “You’re her family now.” That settled it – PJ and Coca would embark on the next chapter of their journey together. This was the spark PJ needed to blend her love of travel, poetry, and language learning into something extraordinary. And thus, Coca’s Tales was born.
