About Me

CURRENT MISSION

..making everyone's day a bit bRighter and sharing stories...

ABOUT ME

I'm half Costa Rican n' half from Buffalo,NY from blood. I've lived in both countries and have family in both. I'm a very passionate artist, I'm getting a degree in Fibers Design because I have to choose one dregree, but I enjoy doing everything from working with metals, fibers, jewelry, painting, seweing and Wood! I want to learn every skill possible, to be selfsufficent.I live yoga, specially hot yoga.so I'm really dedicated to my practice as well as my teaching.I love the sun! I think thats the main reason I've been travelling, to catch the sun and warmth from living in Buffalo. I'm a honest person, I trully enjoy new challenging experiences. I love food, tho no bones or dead faces on my plate, I like to try new things. I like simple but good quality. I don't like to attach to specific religions, I'm very open and I can listen.Love is a religion. I'm very passionate about everything, I enjoy being outside.I respect my friends. I'm a very very positive person!

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in a world where everyone can cooperate equally with love and set a side jealousy. Live every day with passion. I think "simple" is the key, but with love. Giving is the best feeling.Everything happens for good. All changes are for something better.
