About Me
ABOUT ME
I am a colombian biologist who loves traveling. I came to New Zealand to study, and stayed here living with my kiwi partner and working on the monitoring of water quality on beaches and streams. We both are passionate about traveling and getting the most of other countries (including all the good and bad experiences). We have decided to do what we had always wanted and defeat society protocols (!) - We will start a trip around the world! We are incredibly exited about all the people and sites we'll get to know, and that is already making us very happy!
PHILOSOPHY
"Hiari", There are always more than one option for everything, so don't get stuck in one thing because you "have to", keep it calm and enjoy the moment
