About Me

ABOUT ME

I am friendly and easy going. I am very close with my family but can't seem to stay in one place. I love to see and experience new things. I recently graduated from Chapman University and have been working as a recruiter for a company in Southern California.

I love to explore, I could spend the day touring a city and have no real plans. I also enjoy being around people, even if we are sitting outside and just having a good conversation, it is always nice to have company. When traveling I like to see as much as I can and experience everything the country/city has to offer, but I am never opposed to having a "lazy" day either.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that everything will work out in the end. I tend to go with the flow but I always like to have fun and experience new things. "tranquilo pa" as the paraguayans would say.

Interests

the beach - I love the beach.
learning languages - if I could, I would learn as many languages as possible. I always tend to slip in a word from another language when talking with friends.
dark chocolate...born and raised chocoholic
cooking - trying out new recipes is probably my favorite

Music, Movies, and Books

I am not a movie fanatic but I enjoy watching a good movie every now and then. My top three artists (as of right now) are Mumford and Sons, Keith Urban and Don Omar (Reggaeton is probably the best to dance to). They are all completely different styles of music but why not mix it up a little bit?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have lived in Paraguay for a year as an exchange student and for Día de la Virgen I walked 12 hours to a city nearby as a tradition. It was a long night to say the least. I went skydiving recently...most amazing experience! I would recommend that everyone do it once in their life...if not more.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have been very fortunate to travel and see other countries and I have always loved seeing life from a different perspective. I think it is important to learn from others and see what else is out there. Even if you don't share the same language, you will always find something in common..even if it takes extremely good charade skills.
