12 interesting things about me

  1. I went to pre-school in Spain, where I saw sheep in the mountains in San Cugat del Valles. I was with two other preschoolers and we went to see the sheep together – the shepherd had to bring us back along with all of his sheep and this caused fantastic havoc in the school
  2. In Argentina, when I was almost 2 years old I rode a carousel that was over 100 years old and tried to hook a large ring in ring-holder – missed it every time!!!
  3. I swam from the beach across the open ocean to a tiny island called Catita with my parents, my 2 brothers, and one puppy when we lived in Venezuela!
  4. When I was 6, I wanted to be a Marine Biologist and study sharks – still do!!!
  5. My mother always found new adventures for my brothers and I to do. When we lived in Puerto Rico, she took us to a beach with pink sand and a few weeks later to a bay that had bioluminescent organisms that lit the water as well as your hand when you stuck in the water!
  6. When I was 11, I fell in love with Cuzco and Machu Pichu – an ancient city high in the Andean Mountains of Peru
  7. I was the captain of the basketball team in Peru – but I am not really that good at basketball…
  8. In Peru I saw the Halley comet and my family and I camped in a desert beach. In this beach, there was a delta river where I caught a fish with one hand – I had broken my wrist and had a cast on the other…
  9. I travelled by bus from Peru, through Chile, all the way to Argentina when I was 12. My family and I tell numerous number of stories from this adventure.  We flew back!
  10. I went to the University of Wisconsin, in the USA, and major in Biochemistry and Creative Writing
  11. I truly love animals and my dream would be to have an animal sanctuary
  12. Love going out in nature with my family and my 2 dogs, hiking, camping, BBQing and stand-up paddle boarding…
