Julian Calderon– Introduction

Hi Everyone, my name is Julian. I’m from Marin County and I’m 17 years old. My family is from Guatemala. I’m very excited to go on this trip and meet all of you. I love to travel, and my number one goal in life is to visit every country. I like to swim, backpack, kayak, and spend lots of time with my family. I enjoy visiting aquariums and loved the ones in Japan! I love looking at art pieces even though I’m not the best at drawing. I also have a dog named Maggie. I would say I’m very shy, but once you get to know me, I stop being shy. Many people say I’m a funny person, so I hope that’s true. I make a lot of inside jokes. I chose Panama because this whole summer I’ve been busy with my internship, and it was the latest trip out of all of them. I believe everything happens for a reason, so I’m happy with my choice. I also enjoy all types of weather, so I’m excited that it might be a mix of rain and sunshine in Panama once we arrive. I hope to try the many different tropical fruits in Chitré, as well as learn about the Panamanian culture there. I also hope to practice my Spanish, although I’m a native speaker, I am forgetting some words. Besides that, I hope to get to know everyone a little more on this trip, and I’m excited for all of the experiences and memories that we’ll have!

These are some pictures from backpacking/kayaking.
