Insight about me.


My name is Sylvette García, I am a student in the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras campus.
I'm currently getting my major in Cellular Molecular Biology in Natural Science.  I'm really passionate of what I am studying and plan to pursue my future in this area of study.  I always find myself on the move searching for new places.  Let me share with you guys a little insight of who I am.  I like to visit new places, especially here in Puerto Rico, in which sometimes us locals underestimate its beauty.  I enjoy of late night running, skating, bike rides, coffee, music, and going to the beach.  Also I have a passion for ballet dancing and arts.

Let me take you in a journey of my previous trips.  The following list exposes the top 10 places that I had visited during my life. I only have been on a plane once and was to DisneyWorld, my other trips are basically road trips around the island.
1.    Culebra- Flamenco Beach
2.    Isabela, PR- Jobos Beach
3.    Isabela, PR- Middles Beach
4.    Cueva Ventana- Arecibo, PR.
5.    Cueva del Indio- Arecido,PR.
6.    Cavernas de Camuy- Camuy, PR.
7.    Icacos Island.
8.    Mata la Gata.
9.    Disney World
10. Gozalandia- San Sebastian, PR.

Most of my trips are road trips right here in my homeland Puerto Rico.  One of my best experiences was visiting Gozalandia in San Sebastian, PR.  This is a hot spot for tourist and specially locals.  It’s a river with natural cascades and a lot nature. 
During my trip, my friends and I were amazed of the beauty this place beholds.  In one of the rivers there was this man, a local, which gave us a mini tour.  He shows us the underwater caves and told us some awesome stories.  Also we jump into the river with a rope.  Our identity as locals was questioned with the local man, but when we offered him some 'quenepas' he knew we were from the island.  Its interesting the fact that many locals are 'turist' on there own place and that give us a insight of what we are missing in paradise.  Ihope to explore most places right here in Puerto Rico.  Also I want to travel around the world but that’s just a matter of time.
