CURRENT MISSION

To travel and see as much of the world before I settle down. Also to make great friends along the way.

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in the GREAT state of New Jersey to Paraguayan parents. Graduated from the University of Scranton in 2010 with a BS in Secondary Education and History. Working as an Assistant Language Teacher in Kubokawa, Shimanto-Cho, Japan in 2011-2012 exposed me to Couchsurfing and traveling as a whole. Prior to moving to Japan, the only exposure I had to Japan was in movies, history books, and anime. The only word I knew was Konichiwa, but alas, I decided to try it anyways. It was the greatest experience of my life thus far. Upon moving back to the United States, I was hired by an Elementary School in New Jersey, where I currently work. Whenever I have a break, I try to explore something new!
