So Im finally back from Ecuador and I just have to say that it was incredible. There are no other ways to describe the places I went to and the people I met. it truly was a blessing to be able to go on the trip and with so many of my class mates! January was an intense month, getting accepted as a hopeful, shooting my first set, starting my spring semester of college, and of course going to Ecuador and the Galapagos. Ill probably never stop talking about this trip since it was so packed with events that I dont even know how we managed to do it all in just 11 days! One of my favorite places in Ecuador is the cloud forrest town of Mindo. It is just a little village with one main street and a whole bunch of outdoor activities to do. I swam in a waterfall hiked barefoot through the forrest zip lined through rain and clouds. If you ever get the chance to visit i would highly recommend it. Theres also an organic chocolate factory for anyone who's interested ;)
Anyways enough about that as promised heres some Q&A so you can learn a little bit about me and my life! (im just gonna answer a list of questions i found on the internet because my instagram followers only managed to produce one actually question) so here it goes!!!
- How do you spend your days?
- Since im a college student my days usually consist of going to class, hanging out with friends, smoking some mary jane, and track practice.
- Have you always lived in your current location?
- Nope! i grew up in the bay area on the peninsula( points go to whoever knew what i was talking about without looking at a map) in a smaller town. then when i was 16 i moved to New York City to pursue dance, after a year of that i moved back home for another year and now i am in LA going to college :)
- What are some of your hobbies?
- I love to have conversations with people. being an anthropology major im always interested in how people work and how they think about things differently than I do. i also like to run and smoke! two things which usually dont get along very well but i make it work :)
- What's the best meal you've ever had?
- I honestly cant say, but recently i had a fantastic corn soup in Ecuador that is probably the highlight of my eating adventures this past month.
- If you could vacation anywhere in the world, where would you go?
- Anywhere!!! ive always wanted to travel and one of my goals is to travel around the world wherever opportunity takes me.
- What ability or skill do you most wish you had (that you don't have already)?
- I wish I knew how to draw I have always been a creative person but my hands and my mind don't ever connect properly!
- What is/was your favorite subject in school?
- in highschool my favorite subject was history, hands down! i am a total history nerd and i could spend hours watching the history channel. now that im in college I know what I want to do more and I love anthropology! Its basically everything Im interested in rolled into one subject.
- What's your dream job?
- currentky i am trying to become a museum curator! for those of you who dont know that is the person who designs exihibits in museums and galleries.
- If you had to choose only one: cat or dog?
- dog! they are such better companions and i love how expressive they are.
- What's your favorite movie of all time?
- TANGLED! i absolutely love this movie and i could watch it over and over. i am a huge disney lover and i have yet to see a disney movie i didnt like. a close second is frozen of finding nemo <3
- Aside from food, water, and shelter, what one thing could you not go a day without?
- i dont think i would be able to live without my tattoos. and luckily enough i never will! they are such an important part of me that i would feel empty without them.
- In everyday life, what is your number one pet peeve?
- i hate when people drive short distances! i go to a very small liberal arts school and the dining hall is only a 3-4 minuite walk from the dorms. and on more than a few ocassions i have actually seen people drive there. its ridiculous
- Where do you see yourself in 5 years? hopefully as a graduate of la verne and spending a year traveling the world.
Where do you see yourself in 20 years?
As a curator for a well known museum and hopefully married! ( but that part isnt as important)
