Hola! I’m Yoli

I’m 8 years old and have curly brown hair and big brown eyes that reflect my adventurous spirit.

I love exploring nature in my home, Costa Rica, and I’m proud of being Afro-Latina.

Now, I’m starting new adventures in a different country, where I’m learning about new cultures while staying true to who I am.
