Welcome to my interests!
Cooking:
Cooking has been my most consistent hobby since I was 12 years old. I love creating new dishes, putting my own spin on family favorites, and following traditional recipes for old classics. My two favorite cuisines to cook are Mexican and Mediterranean. While I love to cook, I also love to eat! Exploring new cuisines and discovering new restaurants are some of my favorite pastimes.
Travel:
I’ve been lucky en
ough to travel to 15 countries by the age of 25. I studied abroad in Antigua, Guatemala in high school and London, England when I was in college. There’s no better feeling than stepping out into a new city and completely immersing yourself in the rich culture. Naturally, one of my favorite activities while traveling is trying the food! Some of my favorite places so far are: France, St. Lucia, London, Jamaica, and Walt Disney World (where Epcot has 13 countries).
Creative Outlets: 
I love painting, sketching, and making stickers. I’ve been painting for about 5 years after taking a community art class in college. While I don’t necessarily have a certain style, I love the “paint pouring” technique and am inspired by the ocean.
Animals: I love all animals! Sharks, dogs, cats, and whales are some of my favorites. I have a sweet rescue cat named Pacino and 2 hairless guinea pigs.
Hi Alexis! It’s so cool that you have travelled to 15 countries! I haven’t gotten a chance to travel outside of the U.S. but I would love to one day. France and St. Lucia are definitely on my bucket list! I love Mexican food as well, my favorite dish are tostadas de Tinga. Pacino is adorable!
Hi Alexis,
You are so fortunate to have travelled to 15 countries! I don’t know if I have been to as many countries as you, but I love traveling as well. I actually studied abroad too, but in Sydney Australia. Everything I’ve heard about studying in London makes me think I should done another semester abroad!
I’m more of a dog person just because I am allergic to cats. I have a Portuguese Waterdog named Dean.
