I am a half-Argentinean New York City girl with an insatiable lust for travel. Inspired by foreign countries but in love with my hometown, I go through life daydreaming about future travel adventures, and how I will someday write a book/column called "Travels with Tavel." Catchy, isn't it? Just you wait!
