about me
I was born and raised in Cuba and moved to Miami at the age of 18. I enjoy time with loved ones, working out, cooking (especially arroz imperial), and watching movies. I've taken more road trips than flights. The longest was a 19-hour drive to Dallas, Texas.

I love Cuban and Italian food, but I always crave good sushi. Friends is my all-time favorite show. I never get tired of it. Europe is my top travel spot; I enjoy trips that blend nature and city life.
