Hi everyone!!

My name is Camila Morocho. To give some background information about myself, as I have mentioned before in class, I was born in Ecuador, but for the majority of my life, I have lived in Queens. Whenever we get the chance, my family and I travel there. I would have to say that one of my favourite times to visit is in February since there is a type of festivity called Carnaval, in which everyone throws buckets of water or sprays water with water guns, as well as enjoying exquisite peach and fig desserts. It’s super fun (trust).

I only have one sibling, and she is the oldest. I have a Russian Blue cat; however, my first pets growing up were always dogs until we adopted Mishi (that is my cat’s name, by the way). Of all cuisines, one of my favorites is Thai. I am always excited and open to trying new cuisines. That is one of the reasons I love NY, as you have several cultures at your disposal to explore without the need to travel that far. Now with this class, I am excited that we have different locations to visit and analyze their meaning and importance.

Regarding my major, I am still trying to figure that out, but for the moment, it is Marketing. If it were to end up being Marketing, I would prefer to go towards International Marketing, as I love to travel. Some of my interests are hiking, although I don’t do it as often as I would like. Recently, I have been interested in skateboarding, and hopefully, I will soon master at least some tricks. Apart from these things, I also like to draw and read. I used to enjoy painting as well, but I would always choose complicated and very detailed references and would quickly lose interest halfway through, so I have a few paintings that are unfinished, a bad habit I’m trying to improve on. The authors I have been reading recently are mainly Isabel Allende and Fyodor Dostoevsky.

Nonetheless, I am looking forward to getting to know everyone better and getting the most out of this class.

I have attached below a picture of my cat and the song I have been currently fixated on.
