Christopher Columbus

My name is Christopher Columbus. I was born either August 25, 1451 or October 31, 1451. I was born in Spain, and this is were I grew up. Before I became an explorer, I had an apprenticeship as a buisiness agent for important Spainish families. I was originaly traveling to India, or trying to reach it, but ended up in the Americas. I went in search for the new land to establish colonies, and also to establish trade routes.
That is some of my backround information.
