I am fortunate to be a part of a small percentage of Latinos that get the chance to travel through the lands of their ancestors. These travels allow a person to develop in ways no other experience can. Visiting and living in Mexico and Peru have allowed me to develop a closer connection with my family. Meeting and conversing with relatives in Mexico has enhanced my admiration and understanding of my family. Visiting Incan, Aztec and Mayan ruin sites has further developed my pride in my ancestry. Most importantly, traveling through the lands of my ancestors has given me a stronger sense of self. I am fortunate and grateful for these experiences.
