I loved to travel and I say loved because after what happened I never want to travel again. I was in Colombia walking around Bogota having the time of my life when suddenly I got hit in the back of my head. I woke up in this very dark room and I could not remember anything. All of a sudden, this big scary looking man walks up to me and demands me to dress up in all black. I was not even from this country and everything was new to me. He mentioned a job and I had no clue what he was talking about. I wanted to leave and he would not let me. I was going to start working for him, not as a prostitute but a smuggler. He wanted me to smuggle drugs from Colombia to Mexico. I had no other choice but to say yes because I would probably be dead right now

Every year for my birthday I like to do something adventurous. This year for my 19th birthday, I decided to go on a hot air balloon with two of my cousins. It was only my cousins and me because everyone else was too scared. As soon as we got to our destination I felt like I had butterflies in my stomach. As we were going up, I started being less nervous and more excited. Everything looked so small from up in the sky. Instead of buildings, I saw a lot of landscape shapes that were really cool.The weather was amazing because it was not hot at all. It was honestly the best experience ever and I would do it again without a doubt.
Every year on Easter my family and I drive to San Felipe which is on the other side of the border. We go and camp out in my uncle's ranch. We celebrate Easter with my family from over there. We have a tradition where all the adults hide the eggs filled with confetti. Then all the children find them and after crack them on each other. We off-road as a family and have a trail walk on Sunday morning. Friday nights I spend time with my cousins and we have a bonfire at night. We sing along to songs and eat smores. We usually just spend the weekend there and come back Monday morning.
