About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discover and experience as much as I can.

ABOUT ME

I'm originally from Miami but my entire family is from Ecuador. According to my DNA test I am 40% Spanish, 24% Native American-Andes, 5% French, 4% Portuguese, 3% Chinese, and much more.
I do love learning languages, listening to music that is popular in other places, riding a bike, paddleboarding, travel a lot (yet I am terrified of planes), learn what is normal and not in other cultures.
I am a gay, Sagittarius, good with maps, not tolerant to spicy foods, and love my sweets.
A to do list would be to see the polar lights, a tornado, swim with whales, visit Japan and Scandinavia, experience Africa, and try some other stuff.

PHILOSOPHY

Just Do It
