My plan was to stay in tonight

About Me

Something most people don't know about me is that I was born in NY, after my parents came to the U.S. from South America. I grew up in Charlotte, and I've made a lot of great friends while living here. I love to travel back to South America to see my relatives...and to eat as much as I possibly can. I'm inspired by music, other people's interests and stories, and the desire to help out whenever I can. Drawing was my first passion, and then came music and skateboarding. If you meet me, I'll probably try to make you laugh. If we're having drinks, I'll definitely try to make you laugh.
