ABOUT ME

I'm a highly curious person, which I suppose is why learning about different cultures and people thrills me. I love to bike around town and walk my dog. I would love to one day be fortunate enough to travel extensively, and my goal is to at least step foot in each continent (hopefully I'll get much further than that). I enjoy spontaneous outings and having a good laugh above all else. I can party one night and the next stay in and watch movies or engross myself in a good book. I strive to lead a balanced life and to add as much variety to it as possible. Loyalty is a very important characteristic to me and I have a very warm heart. I'm always searching for an opportunity to learn and dance!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed a Mayan pyramid in Mexico and the arrival at the tippy top was inspiring and beautiful.

My friend and I were randomly asked by a bachelor to participate in a dance off in the middle of the streets of New Orleans. It was video taped,and it was fun. My friends and I also started a dance party with 15 plus people in the middle of bourbon street on another instance.

Had a fireworks war with a group of about 30 in the center of a Mexican town during the Fourth of July. We were all mainly Mexican Americans in our parent's native town and were feeling pretty patriotic at the time.

Watched my uncle slaughter a pig with his bare hands, well that wasn't amazing, just amazingly terrible.
