Lani Morones-Spira

My name is Lani Morones-Spira
I’m from Germany
I’m currently a sophomore at Goethe Universität Frankfurt, pursuing a degree in Physics
This is my first year on staff at Falling Creek
I’m teaching backpacking
Something I completed on my “bucket list” was sky diving! I went sky diving for my 18th birthday and I absolutely loved it! I love to paraglide and also roller-coasters so I figured this would be fun and it 100% was!!
My favorite sandwich? I love a tuna melt. I think tuna is awesome and having it warm with cheese is like mixing tuna with a grilled cheese sandwich. Top tier food for sure!
What is the best present I’ve ever received? For my 11th birthday my parents told me we’d be moving to a boat in the Mediterranean for a few months to sail and home school. That experience has spiraled into a love for the ocean, water sports, scuba diving, free diving and a bunch of other outdoor activities and has made my life so much more fun and interesting. I have an appreciation for culture and sailing I don’t think I’d otherwise have and my education took a huge step forward being homeschooled for that time. This was by far the best present I’ve received to date.
