Tayler Sartin
<p>¡Hola! My name is Tayler Sartin and I’m from Minneapolis, Minnesota. This spring 2017, I am studying abroad in Quito, Ecuador with IES Abroad and directly enrolling at the Universidad San Fransisco de Quito. Back at my home school, University of St. Thomas, I am double majoring in Spanish and Environmental Science-Biology with aspirations to protect the environment throughout the world, especially in Spanish-speaking countries. I feel most connected to nature and love surrounding myself with it. I always find myself taking pictures or videos to capture the scene and allow others to experience the same moment and beauty I did. I believe that there is beauty in everything, we just have to stop, open our eyes, and allow it to come in.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13.008px;">I hope that you like my blog and always find the beauty within.</span></p>
