CURRENT MISSION

i never want to feel as though i didn't do something because i was afraid of the consequences...so traveling is my mission!

ABOUT ME

I've been wanting to travel...so i've made it my mission to travel as often as possible, to meet as many people as i can...to experience life to the fullest! I can be a little quiet and shy at first, but as long as there is good company around me, I am open to everybody and anybody. I grew up in Orange County, but live in Los Angeles, Califaztlan. My favorite place in the world is Mexico City..but i say that now because i haven't done much traveling... :] once i step outside of my concrete jungle of this city of angels, i can fully realize the beauty of our world!

PHILOSOPHY

i live my life the way i want to. i don't like to box myself into one way of thinking....i am open to all forms of dialogue, discussion of any matters in life whether it be political, social, educational, or romantic... haha just kidding. anyway. i just want to live and let live.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing i have ever seen was when i was in Teotihuacan, Mexico. Los piramides del sol y de la luna... I was with my friend Ix Chel and we were on the pyramid of the moon and since we are both cancerian women and connected to the luna, it was really extraordinary feeling to be there. it started raining really hard and thunder and lightning...and i had never felt so safe and so comfortable ever in my life...i didn't run or feel i had to hide from the elements...then the rain stopped and the most amazing rainbow i had ever seen appeared. it was one of the best days of my life. <3

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to make a completely flavorful vegetarian (or semi-vegetarian) soup!!!

It consists of the following ingredients:
veggie wontons; chicken, ginger or veggie broth; one sliced carrot; sliced button mushrooms; sliced celery stick; cilantro; a pinch of clove; a pinch of nutmeg; salt/pepper (for taste).

To Make:
Bring all ingredients together (for the wontons, you can buy the prepackaged ones or make them yourself...) bring the broth to a slow boil. Serve heated or wait a little bit for the broth to cool down as you like. Serve in a bowl, enjoy by yourself as lunch or dinner or with family/friends as an appetizer! You can put in soy sauce, hoisin, sriracha or chili/garlic sauce to further enhance the taste!

ENJOY!
