Bela Padilla, an actress-writer-director, reflected on her “joblessness” when she first arrived in Europe.

Bela reflected about leaving her “comfort zone” in a previous Instagram post.

“I flew to Europe with the intention of living in London by September 2021. And I did it,” she explained.

She returned to Zurich, the first place she arrived last year, to mark this significant transformation in her journey.

Bela Padilla stated that after moving to London, she found “jobless.”

“When I’m asked what I do for a living, I often joke that I’m jobless or that I’m on a sabbatical,” the multi-hyphenate remarked.

Despite this, the star was capable of completing a film and making her directing debut in 366, a film she also authored.

“Wrote two scripts that are now in preproduction, invested in things and people I believe in, started a business (@amberandaqua) with my friend, met amazing people who do what they love,” Bela said.

Relocating to Europe further broadened Bela’s perspective. She stated that she was able to join events, travel to new locations, and experience the world that she had only imagined before.

“I was discovered to be an actress at 16. Now 15 years later, I feel like I’m finally experiencing what it is truly like to be me, not my characters, just me,” she stated. 

Bela Padilla also mentioned how she is surrounded by individuals who continually encourage her to move forward.
