About Me
- Jazmin
- Colorado/Rhode Island, United States
- I am a Colorado native living on the other side of the country. I moved from a small town in Colorado, where I lived for 18 straight years, to Rhode Island. I did this to pursue my dreams of playing college volleyball. That's where I'm at now, now as for the past, there's more to know. You'll find out what I find interesting through my posts. I began this blog to point out the simple things in life that are epic to me.
