Saludos a todos! My name is Ayla and I am a 4th year International Relations major. I am a Vancouverite as I have lived here my whole life, but have a keen interest in Latin American popular culture as I am half-Mexican myself. Every couple of years or so I get to visit my family and Mexico, but for the most part, I have to experience my own culture through media. 

Generally speaking, I enjoy listening to Spanish music, dancing, and learning about as many things as possible. I currently speak 3 languages and learning 2 more, with the hopes of learning 8 in total. Learning about world politics also consumes a lot of my time in and out of school because I genuinely find it fascinating and would like to get involved one day.
