About me

Gender Female
Location The World
Introduction I'm Cuban-American, but I've never been to Cuba, and my mother describes my hometown, Miami, as having "the great advantage of being so close to the United States." In my quest for self-identity ... or good cheese, it's hard to tell which, I moved to France (twice) and developed ITD (Incessant Travel Disorder). I invite you to virtually roam with me, and so does Sir Gnome.
