About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Estudiar y Viajar durante mi tiempo libre/ To study and travel in my free time.

ABOUT ME

I am a person who sees everyday as an adventure...anything can happen, but one must be positive in life to keep on going, life used to be like that in mexico, an adventure, now that i live in san francisco its more calm, but im starting to regain that mentality i used to have, no matter where you are or under what circumstances, one must enjoy everyday of life like it was the las one, i do it by traveling in my free time!!! i love to know new cultures and how each culture lives everyday :)

PHILOSOPHY

Take your time, enjoy life!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

went camping to a beach in southern mexico by manzanillo and was having a good time at night like 3 am with friends and cousins until the coast guard told us to evacuate because there was tsunami warnings!!!!so we had to drive back to guadalajara at 5 am (after packing our stuff "quickly")...
