The Land of What If

Que soy así, que no me gustan los compromisos. Que sí, te he dicho que te quiero. Y te quiero, eso sin dudas. Pero dudo que quiera darte lo que más quiero.

Hello everyone, my name is Elizabeth and this is my first blog. I am hoping to share my life experiences interests, discuss topics of my interest, books, music, food and even a little of my very own creations in both english and spanish (maybe even a little french ;P) The purpose of this blog is mainly to keep a track of life as I see it and what from it as a curly-haired medicine student living in the Caribbean who is pretty much excited to live life positively :)
