One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Katie-
Well, I went to school in the midwest for a couple years so I have done numerous road trips around the western part of the U.S. But my most exciting adventure so far has been backpacking through Europe with my best friend Janna! (England, France, Italy).

Juan-
I haven't travel to much...but the most beutiful thing that I've seen is a beach in the Colombian Pacific Coast. It's name is "La Barra", and its a place full of culture and good vibrations. It's the kind of place where you can be disconnected from the world and enjoy the most beutiful sunsets on an enormous beach, party around a fire with the locals and have a nice shot of "Viche"!!..

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach how to make a wonderful/easy Colombian appetizer with plantain and some vegetables! :)
