PNW --> SoCal

I can't wait to start my new adventure in Santa Barbara! Time is going by really fast! Meaning the summer is sadly going by "fast," as well...

view of Santa Barbara from the end of the Stern's Wharf. Beautiful sunsets always lined with palm trees :)

But summer won't stop for me, when I move to Santa Barbara! What's not to love, the 300+ days of sunshine! Right on the beach, beautiful campus, water sports... Close range to LA! What more can ya want..

Every place on campus has a view of the ocean. Literally steps down and across the street to the beach. 

I within a couple weeks, I went down to take some placement exams for English & Math down at my college. Also, used that trip to visit the campus and my dorm. Also, just main attractions in Santa Barbara as well.

Fell even more in love with my new city! So thankful.
If you ever get the chance, definitely go visit Santa Barbara!


My dad and I also got to visit my grandparents down in the valley and spend some time with them!

I'm Alive!!

Blue-footed boobies! in the Galapagos Islands.

Wow! Where to start...

Well for starters, I went to Ecuador and ending up lovin' it! Didn't want to come back to the US. I was actually thinking of delaying my plane ticket and visa. But in the end, as you can see i'm back in the U.S.A.

Here are just some photos summin' up my trip. In order from the beginning of my trip to the end of my trip.

Hayley & I in Atacames, Ecuador. I went with her host family on a weekend trip to the beach/coast! :D
- Ended up trying parasailing!

candid. Self timer :P ...my Ecuadorian host family! Super nice and friendly.

Hiked Mt. Cotopaxi to 15, 000 ft!! Plus, the fact that Ecuador is a few hundred feet above sea level on itself.
