At 18, India Arana has traded family life in Argentina for a life built around movement. In June, the daughter of actor Facundo Arana and presenter María Susini left for Belgium, where she stayed for two months. After returning to Buenos Aires in late August, she packed again and flew to Bali.

India does not have one path, but 14,000 that she wants to explore. That is what I applaud.

· Facundo AranaArana reflected on his daughter’s decision to travel and pursue her own goals.

India has shared images of her new adventure on Instagram, where she has about 9,000 followers. In Bali, she hopes to continue practicing surfing, one of her favorite sports. She traveled with support from Arreyes Surf Academy, a Búzios Geribá-based agency that assists surfers with training and physical and mental well-being.

Her parents initially had doubts about their 18-year-old daughter traveling alone around the world. They ultimately accepted her personal decision and chose to support her ambitions. Facundo Arana said India does not have one path, but “14,000” paths she wants to explore, describing that as something he applauds.

If I see the kids with a smile, I don’t care how risky it may be. If they are smiling, María and I will be standing like grenadiers beside everything they want.

· Facundo AranaHe described his support for his children despite concerns about the risks of traveling.

“If I see the kids with a smile, I don’t care how risky it may be,” Arana said. He added that he and Susini would stand beside their children in whatever they wanted to pursue. “I don’t choose their life, their sexuality or their choices. It’s their life,” he said, while describing himself as a companion and protector within the limits of his responsibilities as a father.

I consider myself a luxury companion and a guardian of her safety as far as my obligations allow. I do not choose her life, her sexuality or her choices. It is her life.

· Facundo AranaArana explained how he views his role as a father.

Alongside her sports interests, India works as a model. Her mother has expressed pride in that work. India took part in her first photo shoot at 13, and Susini later praised her professionalism, enjoyment of the work and ability to collaborate.

It is so lovely to see you in photo shoots. You do it so professionally, you enjoy it and you work as a team.

· María SusiniSusini wrote the message when she shared images from India’s early modeling work.
