ABOUT ME

Hola! I'm a native of Central California who currently is currently in grad school in Mexico City. I lived many years in Los Angeles and also a year in Peru. I love tryin new foods, explorin new places and meeting new people. I am half Mexican and half African American and feel that growing up with two cultures has always instilled a desire in me to travel and get to know more cultures.
