Who am I? Just a girl constantly trying to find her path.
26 year old born in Bolivia, raised in the U.S.A
A story teller with a big heart and a constant need to make others laugh.
I am married to the sweetest, kindest, goofiest human being, Mike.
Super annoying sometimes, but you’ll love me anyways.
I like to try new things, so my hobbies are always changing.
I love to travel – and learn about the world and different cultures.
You will always catch me with some sort of camera, taking pictures or videos. ALWAYS.
