I try to lead by example. Currently I am in a position where I can impact a lot of young, and curious, minds. I am a Library Aide at an Elementary school and love to help instilling the love for the written word to the little ones. Used to be a Preschool teacher and loved every second of it. Volunteered in Malang, Indonesia and I am looking forward to keep volunteering at Orphanages in Mexico. I Love to travel and meet new people. I believe that we get to choose whom becomes family, and you get to be creative when tou travel and are expose to some of the amazing citizens of this wide world. Through my travels I developed a motto: "We need to travel with a purpose. Not only for leisure, but to promote positive change in every place we visit."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I have ever done is to become part of the student otganization called: AIESEC, Inc. It was the most humbling and amazing experience of my life.

Also, I swam with white fin sharks in Karimunjawa, Indonesia!!!!!! Many awesome things that I can choose.

I will answer this question when we meet.

Teach, Learn, Share

Would love to teach kids about Photography and how we can capture the beauty that surrounds us, even when we live in the least ideal conditions.

I truly believe that we, as travelers and humans, learn from any person and from everything that happens around us.

Finally, I would love to share my limited knowledge about the world cultures, my beautiful Puerto Rican heritage and the few things that I have managed to learn from my travels and life experiences. 🐛

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will share with you many Recipes from my beloved Puerto Rico; A lot of conversations (I love to talk and listen); Stories; Hopefully, a lasting friendship, since you will be giving me your most precious thing, your personal space.

I will share with you my passion for life, and in exchange, I would love for you to let loose and show me all the amazing things that make your city/town/neighborhood, AMAZING for you.

I will share with you all the good manners my mama taught me, and the love for the good things in life. To me those things are simple: love, friendship, respect, passion for learning, and an insatiable craving for new experiences.
