Hello everyone! Im Valeria. Im 17 years old and originally from California, but my heart is currently set on an incredible new adventure. I'm beyond excited to share that I`ll be traveling to the Dominican Republic, specifically to the beautiful town of jarabacoa. My goal for this trip is to learn about their culture, learn about the traditions, and truly connect with the people who live there. I always travel with my family and I know that this time I will be traveling without them and this is exciting and scary at the same time so this time things are going to be really different. Ive also heard a lot of amazing things about jarabacoa so Im really looking out for the best experience with the amazing people there that I will meet. Im also excited to try every local dish there. I`m so ready for this journey and to share everything I learn with all of you. 🙂
