Traveler Bio

Bonjour (Hello)!

My name is Daniela Mujica, but you can call me Dani. I am 21 years old and in my life, there are three places I have called home. I was born in Caracas, Venezuela, I moved to South Florida when I was seven years old, and I am spending my college years at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York. I love to write, sing, listen to music, and take photos while sightseeing.

At Vassar, I am majoring in international studies with concentrations in history and sociology. For my senior fall semester, I will embark on a journey across the Atlantic to Western Europe, where I will gain immersive experience in the field of diplomacy and international relations. While my studies will be concentrated in Switzerland, I will also be studying for a week in Brussels, Belgium and Paris, France. As the eldest of three, I will be documenting my journey not only for myself and my memories but also for my siblings. I can't wait to share my adventure with you all!
