CURRENT MISSION

To see the world and meet kind people in the process!

ABOUT ME

I love everything about food and agriculture, people, and culture. I love to share a great meal with home cooked food with friends. I'm very interested in learning how to make the foods I love, things like ice cream, cheese, bread, jams, etc. I'm an experimental gardener and love to grow food organically (no pesticides, etc.). I really enjoy music and I have a broad taste of what I like but I think I enjoy learning about what other people like even more. I love to dance salsa and bachata and pretty much try to squeeze that into every weekend. I love learning about other cultures, traveling, and sight seeing. Me encanta la cultura Latin@ y siempre estoy buscando eventos, arte, o lo que sea para celebrarlo.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short to not chase your dreams and do the things that make you happy. Family is very important to me and I feel that family does not have to be blood in order to be considered a relative. We must be kind to everyone around us because we never know what internal struggles they are being challenged with. We must treat our planet and it's resources with respect because it is the only planet we have. Live, laugh, love, have fun and enjoy the live you live!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music anything from rock to Cuban salsa. I love reading biographies and non-fiction. I would watch more films but would also much rather be outside exploring the world around me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacking in the back country for my first time in Yosemite. The hike was strenuous but once we reached our campsite, the views at our disposal were absolutely breathtaking. It was SO beautiful there are no other words to describe.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know how to can pickles and jams. I love to cook pretty much anything. I know the basics of organic gardening (compost, planting, etc). I also know how to work with Adobe software programs (Photoshop, inDesign).
