I grew up in a Colombian household in North Carolina after moving from Orlando, Florida at eight years old. Orlando has such a heavy presence of Latinos that it was easy to maintain my Latin roots and verbiage without
ever having to come into contact with classic American idioms, or the English language for that matter. After landing in Charlotte, North Carolina, I immediately noticed that there were thousands of idioms I was never
privy to. I started journaling idioms every chance I could get and found that people were interested to read what I collected. In my efforts to publish my findings, what started off as a strictly American book soon expanded to
the entire world. My research and surveys led me to some of the most valuable and beautiful sayings, originating from different corners of the world. I figured that everyone ought to know these. This book is a collection of my favorite idioms that I have learned throughout my life.
