Krystal Montez

My name is Krystal, most of my friends call me Chica. I was born and raised in California but made it to Shreveport/Bossier as fast as I could. My favorite hobby is driving around town looking for a delicious mom and pop restaurant. My dog Olive keeps me on my toes, and makes sure I have a mess to clean up every time I get home from work. How on earth can a ten pound dog get into everything?
