CURRENT MISSION

Saving to go traveling

ABOUT ME

Really laid back, with a good sense of humour, and always with somethibg to talk about. My heart really belongs to my hometown in Ecuador where I grew up. My passion for cities and the world has inspired me to become a big advocate for international travel. I lived in Ecuador for 18 years, 4 years in Canada, and 1 year in Hong Kong. I recently lived in Taiwan for a year and a half teaching English and now I study in London. Slowly becoming a world citizen :)

PHILOSOPHY

Live the day. There is nothing to lose.
