My name is Dulce and I'm a mexican girl. I studied International Relations with a specialty in African and Middle East cultural affairs. I like reading and writing (academic and fiction), listening to nice music, cooking, dancing all night, having nice conversations about everything and petting as much dogs as I can.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a good cooker, so perhaps I can share nice recipes. Also, I practiced Polynesian Dance for a long time and I could show you some steps, lose up the hips (better if you are girl, I just know the basic steps for boys). I'm working on a research project focused on publishing industry, so I could explain the basics haha.
