About Me

Hello! I'm a Latina journalist from California whose currently living in Nebraska. I enjoy traveling to new places whenever I can find the time to do so. I love to journal about my adventures & the new people I meet.
Looking to meet like minded folks while traveling and share good food & conversation.

I love museums & anything to do with history & art--but I'm also a big believer of doing more than just the touristy stuff. I want to see things through the eyes of a local.

In 2013, I spent half a year living in 3 different European countries while completing a Minor in International Studies. I lived in Sevilla, Spain; Paris, and Roma through a study abroad program. Like many students who study abroad, every weekend I back packed to a new city or country. Many of my best memories were when locals took me to explore the hidden gems.

When I came back to the United States after living in Europe for 6 months, I came back home with a global perspective. It's now been 5 years since my time in Europe, and I've certainly made life-long relationships with those folks I traveled with. It's those memories and bonding moments over new adventures we'll never forget. I look forward in meeting new people and making life long friendships with folks I meet abroad.

Religion is a big part of my life and how I grew up, so whenever I'm traveling I like to make it a point to visit different churches & even stay for the services. At the same time I enjoy learning more about different religions.

If you ever find yourself needing a guide through Nebraska or California...I'm your girl. Let's connect.

Fluent in Spanish and beginner conversational Italian. (Currently learning more)

FAVORITE PLACE?
- Hard to chose, but if I could be anywhere in the world right now, I'd chose Sevilla, Spain. I immediately fell in love with Sevilla. The culture, food...everything the city had to offer. I lived there for 2 months and got to know it very well. It's been 5 years and I still dream about taking a stroll by the river drinking a mojito.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was the youngest in my university's graduating class to complete her bachelor's degree early. I was only 20 years old when I graduated college. Took hard work and dedication to finish a 4 year degree in half the time. I would consider myself a nerd (except I hide it very well) (at least I try) hahaha

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about my Mexican-American culture and things about California & Nebraska.
