About Me



No sáan nga makaammó nga nangtaliáw ti naggapuánna, saán a makadánon ti papanánna.

The name is Niki Eskobar. I'm a writer at the heart and mind, an artist at the soul. Doing my own thing without hesitation brings real light to my life. I dig the beauty of people, I respect the beings of this Earth. To check some of my writing and art peep my project below. Salamat.
