If you could pick one word to describe yourself, what would it be?
Extroverted

What do you do in your free time?
In my free time I enjoy going to the beach, but most of the time I'm playing soccer. I also love to take pictures and read books. I love partying with friends and most of all enjoying life!

What was your initial thought when you were picked for Life on Tour: Spain and Morocco™?
My initial thought was — Is this really happening to me? Getting picked is so unexpected and hard to believe that you only realize what it means when you are already on the trip. It is so funny because in just one second you start to feel all the emotions in the world, and it is the most indescribable moment that can exist!

How has Life on Tour: Spain and Morocco™ changed what you want to do with your life?
I had la mejor experiencia del mundo (best experience ever). It increased my interest in what I want to be when I grow up because I want to be a pilot, and traveling just makes me more passionate about it. If I ever get the opportunity, I want to work for EF Tours because educational trips change your life. Living the experience is not the same as hearing about the experience.

Anything you want to add?
I'm Puerto Rican and that means I'm amazing! I think every day is a new beginning, and you have to give your best every single day. I think that traveling is necessary because when you travel, believe me, the experience is something indescribable. I think everyone has their time in life to shine and get out of their shells and nothing is better for that than traveling! You will never regret meeting me; I'm wicked funny and an awesome person.

"Through food, flamenco dancing, music and interactions with the locals, I gained a better understanding of the world around me, one that I could have never received while sitting in a classroom."
