Personal Info

My family is from Spain and I love speaking Basque and Spanish. I also love travel and immersing myself in different cultures. I enjoy writing, hiking, reading, movies, music, and going to baseball games—especially the San Francisco Giants. I don’t like hot weather, and I prefer overcast days to overly sunny days.
