My name is Ali, I was born in Lima Peru and moved to Florida when I was 10 years old. I am fluent in Spanish and can understand some Italian.
Growing up, my parents worked for an airline and got to travel all over the world. I tagged along for trips within South America but don’t remember much.

I make it a point to visit family in Lima every year. When I do, it’s hard to come back home. There is nothing better than culture. Unfortunately, I haven’t traveled in years.

I work for the largest single family Property Management/Hedge Fund Company in the Country. I joined a 20 or less person team to manage 200 homes in 2012. Within a few months, we had over 2k homes and now over 6k. That is only in my Region. Overall we own over 50k homes. Now you know why I haven’t traveled ; )

I am a free spirit. I don’t need much. Anything relating to Art (music, photography, cultures, theatre, poetry) oddities and animals are my passion. I love the dark side of all artistic things. I am also a wildlife Rehabilitator. I love being able to raise orphaned animals and releasing them. As it should be. I have two ferrets. Emmi and Popcorn. They are my children. My boyfriend Karl and I had a black lab, Attia, who sadly passed away last month. She was with him all 17 years.

We are going to visit his family in Finland and will work our way through France, Germany, Italy, Croatia, Slovenia and Greece.
