About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore, adventure, learn, teach, share, meet new people and grow.

ABOUT ME

I'm easy-going, open-minded, caring, honest, adventurous and love to meet new and interesting people. I like to learn so, I am interested in all kinds of different things. I have recently quit my job in financial services in order to pursue my dream of traveling, learning Spanish, meeting new people, getting out of my comfort zone, growing and finding out how to best spend my life.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life because I love to learn new things, explore, meet new people, spread the love I have to give and enjoy my time on Earth. I enjoy cultivating connections with other people and spending a good amount of time in nature. I think that people today are too materialistic, live life too fast and need to slow down and refocus on the little and finer things in life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Drove Route 1 from Los Angeles to San Fransisco. Visited Seville, Spain and lived as a Spaniard for a week. Been all over the Caribbean. Watched a sunset in Key West (supposed to be one of the best sunsets in the world). Saw penguins in Punta Tombo, Argentina. Loved.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have worked in personal finance for 7 years and have a bachelors degree in finance with a minor in Latin American & Caribbean studies. I find that I am good at helping people pursue their passions and have a genuine interest in helping and teaching other people whatever I can. I enjoy learning about a wide variety of subjects and find that I am able to learn them at a fast pace.
