Mariana Zapata's User Profile - Atlas Obscura

Mariana Zapata

I am a Colombian immigrant to the United States who spends her time reading, writing, and dreaming about traveling. When I'm not thinking of travel, I'm worrying about global affairs, reading the classics, binging on Netflix, dancing, or living my frustrated Broadway dreams through the magic of karaoke.
