CURRENT MISSION

to travel until I just can't any more

ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in San Diego, California, but my heart is in my parents native country, Nicaragua. Being Latina is a big part of who I am. For me traveling is a better way to understand the world and all the people in it. I love to talk to people and find out who they are. Art is a big part of how I express my feelings and who I am. Which is why I am currently going back to school to do my Masters in Art Therapy( emphasis in mental health) I love to listen to music while I cook for friends and I really love to eat:-) Music is really important to me, I listen to everything.....even country music(no laughing please). I like to think that I'm pretty open minded about everything. I'll try anything at least twice maybe even a third time just to make sure I gave it a fair shake.

Interests

Art: both creating and appreciating, I really love to cook and eat, traveling and experiencing different cultures, learning, listening and searching for music, cinema, reading and taking sky naps in the park, and grabing a beer with friends, camping, hiking....
