CURRENT MISSION

To experience life and to try to get away from all the fluff

ABOUT ME

Me and my fiance are world travelers. We are in our mid 20s and love to learn about people and ideals. I am a Spanish high school teacher, just got my degree, and I am so excited to share my adventures with my future students. I want to open the minds of American students to other ways of thinking. Sometimes in the great USA we can become consumed in unimportant B.S. and I hope show our teens that there is more to life. I come from a large family and hope to have my own someday soon. I try to make a big trip every year. I am a native Texan who loves to learn, make love, and eat good home-cookin.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live my life and experience as much as possible. I do not believe in living to work, I believe in enjoying my life and the people in it. I do get side tracked and caught up in life, but I am a real down to earth person, ready for what/where ever life takes me.
