Traveler Bio

¡Hola! My name is Talia Gutierrez. I am 20 years old and from California. Growing up on the Central Coast, I loved spending time outdoors, hiking local trails, and playing lacrosse with friends. In college, I stayed in California to study Business Administration with a concentration in Financial Management and a minor in Spanish at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. Currently, I am living in Madrid, where I am studying Spanish language, arts, and culture. I am excited to explore the city, improve my Spanish, and share my adventures with you all. I can’t wait to hear from you and answer your questions along the way!
