What do you like about this subject?

It gives me a chance to help people learn about my home country and have a great experience visiting it and enjoying both its beauty and its peoples.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

Everyday I learn more about Mexico. We keep traveling and studying the everchanging culture and landscape!

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

Mexico is many different experiences in one, there is an enormous diversity physical and social, and it would take a lifetime to get to know it even on the surface. Be it jungle, desert, beach or mountain, five star/boutique hotels or adventure travel, there is something for everyone.
