The Traveler in Me

Nostalgia comes over me whenever I think about the places I have been to. Every trip I take, whether it is to the supermarket or a foreign country, has an immense impact on how I have developed into the human being many have come to know as Karlene, a nineteen year-old utopian who only hopes to travel the world. Right now, whoever is reading this must think that I have been half way around the globe, but the truth is that I have not been far out of my beautiful island, Puerto Rico. Here, in this 100mi. by 35mi. piece of land, I have discovered my passion for nature. Also, I have been fortunate to find a liking in dance and science, specifically biology. However, I hope that with every jaunt I take I can come to enjoy and love many other subjects.


Some of the places I have traveled to are:

  • Nassau
  • Miami
  • Orlando
  • Machu Picchu 
  • Cuzco
  • Lima
  • Key West
  • Tampa
  • Cocoa Cay
  • Ft. Lauderdale 

Without a doubt, Machu Picchu has to be the most impressive place I have stepped on. It is a breathtaking monument that is impossible to forget. In fact, I find it hard to believe that a group of people assembled such paradise; it seems more like a work of a god. Without a doubt, I would travel there as many times as I am able to since its content ignites the adventurer inside me. Furthermore, Machu Picchu is far more interesting to me because it carries a big part of my heritage.
