About Me

Growing up as the youngest of five children, the baby girl to four older brothers, definitely shaped me as an individual. I like to thank my four older brothers for always challenging me, battling against me, and teaching me the many facts of life, that eventually molded me into a strong, independent, adventurous woman. Their struggles, experiences, and life lessons were examples for me to follow and reject as learning tools for myself. I grew up in beautiful Huntington Beach, California with a passion for travel and culture. Any opportunity I get to travel, live abroad, or learn about other cultures, I take it, but I always question myself for leaving my home sweet home. With every departure there is a sense nostalgia and sadness, and with every arrival, I feel like I am right back where I started. I guess that's why I have the need to constantly explore and progress in a new direction. I need to leave the familiar and discover new things that eventually creates new memories and builds new relationships. With these new experiences, I later come to realize and appreciate the beauty of what I originally left behind.
