My name is Lissa and I was born and raised in Honduras. At the age of 17 my family and I moved to Chicago, and have been living here since then. I enjoy many things in life and one of them is traveling. I want to be able to have as many adventures as I can, I want to get to know and connect with new people that exude positivity. I enjoy learning about new cultures and going to places where I haven't been to before. I enjoy making new friends, and trying new things. I like to have fun!
I got married a couple of months ago and my husband and I have decided to go after a new adventure. We are taking a break from our daily routine and we are going to explore South America for a few months. We are both marathon runners, and nature lovers and our passion for these two activities have inspired us to travel to different countries. We hope to leave our mark in the streets of South America. Please allow us to meet you and feel free to join us on a run down the streets of your city. We hope that you can introduce us to the local nightlife where we will be able to enjoy a nice glass of wine... or maybe the whole bottle!
