About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Preparing to go around the world... again!

ABOUT ME

I am currently a graduate student at Texas A&M University, but I try to get out of town whenever possible.

Although born in the US, I was raised in Venezuela. I try to travel whenever possible, with road trips being my favorite way to travel inside the U.S. and trying to have at least one major international trip every year.

I'm pretty laid back and open to conversation about pretty much any topic.

PHILOSOPHY

I think we should all strive to make our time in this world the best we can, since who knows what the future brings. I am one to think that we should take opportunities as they arise, for tomorrow we might not be here. Spontaneity is good, but so is having a sense of humor about life and oneself. Life is so much fun when you can find humor in the little things.

Also, I think it's important to be open to others and get to know people. It's amazing how much we can have in common with even strangers from a different culture.
