    Madrid, Spain // Why new friendships?

    One of the main reasons why I enjoy dancing these days is for the social aspect. I love that it brings together all types. I get to meet all kinds of people I would never normally come into contact with. We may have nothing else in common, but we all love to dance. This is… Read more

    Paris, France // Why old friendships?

    My path through higher education, like my career, and my life, was not a straight one. After graduating high school, I meandered through community college classes while working at coffee shops and restaurants to afford whatever room I happened to be renting at the time.

    Cabo San Lucas, Mexico// Why would they care?

    I’m not usually one to compliment the United States. My default state of being really lends itself to complaining and criticizing. However, one grand exception is how much I truly appreciate the abundance and variety of beauty in the natural landscape of the US. Right before moving to Mexico, I was spending a lot of… Read more
