Day to Day (2002-2009) is a public barter network of personalized exchanges created by Carolina. It offers alternative ways of meeting business and personal needs- without using money.

Day to Day has visited cities like Vienna, London, San José, Berlin, New York and Los Angels. Carolina gave: Spanish lessons, salsa dance lessons, baby sitting, internet research, pick up packages, and more. People gave: food, movie tickets, printers, an airplane ticket to Colombia, sneakers and more. With this she learned the ability to trust, immense confidence in her own social skills, no fear of zero cash flow, a string of allies dotted around the globe and overall hope.
