The Female Voice of the World Cup: Tango Diva Christina Santos

Sitting at her grandmother's typewriter, Alexandra has been concocting stories since she first learned to write. Upgrading from fairytales and ghost stories, Alexandra now prefers to write about travel, her other love. First inspired by the books she read growing up, Alexandra has been traveling since she ditched her piggy bank and started saving money in a real bank at fifteen.

Alexandra is currently finishing her degree in Journalism, Public Relations, and Spanish at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo after studying in Madrid, Spain. Now back in the USA, she is plotting her next adventure.
