About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live my life in a positive way, doing something I love, and be able to travel the world

ABOUT ME

I am born and raised in the city of wind. I grew up with all kinds of people and lived in all kinds of places. I studied in a small college town, moved to Uruguay, graduated, then moved to Spain for a year, and now have been working in non-profit organizations in Chicago for a few years. I am interested in all new experiences and do not spend much time in front of the tv. I prefer to be caking, conversing, reading, dancing, cooking, exploring, smoking a hookah, going out with friends, or best of all, traveling.

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe Diem. Live and let live.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Colombia in January. My husband, myself, and three young men from argentina hiked an hour and a half up into a mountainous jungle full of the Wayuu (indigenous folk) with big rubber inner tubes. When we got to the top, we put the inner tubes on a river and floated all the way down to the where the river ran into the sea. It was breathtaking.
