Estoy fascinada con la Naturaleza y la Creaciones en el Mundo que están en Constante Movimiento
Desde que fui al colegio en la secundaria me enamore de la historia universal, para mi era algo fascinante ver las culturas del mundo con diferente costumbres y lenguaje. Viviendo en el USA me dio la oportunidad de conocer y hacer amigos con gente de diferentes partes del mundo y que como seres humanos tenemos mucho en común y podemos aprender a explorar otras formas de vivir.
En esta página ustedes van a ver fotos de diferente parte del mundo a mí me fascina y quiero abrir otros horizontes en mi vida y compartir por medio de la tecnología conectarme al mundo y compartir mis ideas y costumbres con el mundo.
