About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to explore the world and myself..Travel, Learn, Explore..

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Las Vegas with a colombian father who came from nothing but works so hard till this day to give me the wonderful life I have, and a czech mother who was raised in the circus and who is my inspiration through life. I grew up with lions and tigers in my backyard and used them as alarm clocks before school. Typical vegas. I work two jobs, but rarely actually work. Im a meeting and events major at unlv and i might change it..again. I love meeting people from different upbringings and cultures, it helps me understand myself. I just want to live life and see as much of the world as I can.

I'm saving money to do a very long trip to south east Asia and Oceania. I don't really have a plan of coming back to the states soon after. I want to take at least a year off. Maybe teach a little bit. My dream jobs would be to work for a music festival or a tourism company. I have traveled on tours before and there is nothing like being on the road.

PHILOSOPHY

life is chances--Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do

"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime."
--Mark Twain, The Innocents Abroad

make waste art in the dust and let it dazzle us- me :)
