Hi! My name is Nelson, but everyone calls me Nelly. I was born in Cuba, grew up in Miami, and now I’m a college student studying Political Science (that means learning about governments and how countries work). I love music, traveling, and trying new foods from around the world. Right now, I’m living in Madrid, Spain, for a semester, and I can’t wait to show you what life here looks like through my eyes!
