About me

Gender	Female
Location	Orlando, Florida, United States
Introduction	I'm 18 years young. I was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, but moved to Orlando, FL at a young age. I was lucky to be brought up on the East Coast. I've traveled quite a lot for a young person. My passport is stained with my vast adventures. The Southern Hemisphere is the best place to travel. Yes it isn't a very narrow place to recommend, but it's just full of untraveled locations. I'm living in Manaus, Brazil at the moment with my loving boyfriend of three years, Luciano. Manaus is a big city in the middle of the Amazon. It's very hot and very humid, but filled with amazing people and amazing food. I really love it here. My family is large and very Hispanic. My father is your typical man from the Caribbean. Loud, funny, and full of opinions. He's my best friend and hero. I'm aspiring to be a Geography Teacher, so I can teach what I love most.
