About Me

Hello there! My name is Beatriz and I'm seventeen years old. Many people say that I'm very sweet, funny, happy, friendly, active but my friends know that I can get a little cranky at times which it's not very pretty. I am also shy at times, insecure of myself, and very indecisive.  Since I was little, I spent most of my time traveling around the Island with my parents and went to beautiful beaches and forests which made me fall in love with nature. I've been concern about our environment so that's why I decided to study marine biology or environmental science and it also keeps me in touch with what I love. Other than nature, I've been very interested in fashion. I've been modeling since I was fourteen and my main modeling goal is to model around Europe. Being on the runway or behind the camera makes me feel simply amazing and makes me realize how much I love doing it. When it comes to something adventurous, I'm up for it. I love kayaking and hiking and  I would love to skydive, canopy, surf, para-sail, bungee jump, and all those extreme things you can imagine. Other things that I like to do is to read, listen to music, surf the internet,  do some arts and craft, go to amusement/water parks, go to zoos and aquariums, be with my friends, travel, and so many other things.
