I grew up in Galveston, Texas. Galveston is such an interesting place; I have met so many people from all around the world who have come to visit. I love to share the history of Galveston with people because it is so rich. Living on an island has influenced my life in a positive way. I grew to accept things for what they are and to appreciate the things around me. Growing up in such a diverse and tourist filled city, gave me a different perspective on life. I truly strive to understand individuals and gain knowledge about their experiences and what makes them unique.
