One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One time, in a traditional party in Huajuapan de Leon the "Litle Castle" (fireworks) fell down upon the multitude and the chaos begun, it was my first chaotic situation I was 18 I think.

During the celebrations of the 5 de Mayo in Puebla, at the end of the concert of Alondra de la Parra in the Cathedral of the city the piece "Overture 1812" by Tchaikovsky was played, in the last epic moments of the piece, the bells of city were played and strog fireworks in the sky fired, it was awesome.

In Oaxaca city during Guelaguetza festival of 2011, an audiovisual artowork was played in the facade of the city´s cathedral, it proyected life upon it and a show about the culture of Oaxaca, with iconic images and traditional music orchestrated, it was really emotive for me because im from there.

Teach, Learn, Share

Not sure, maybe analysis and study methods (I´ve achieved a lot of retention of knowledge, I think because of my method)
I would like to learn tips for safe travels, traditional cuisine tips and basics of local languages, oh also curious things about the place or the families history.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A lot of local histories from my country, and an enjoyable talk, we can cook together or go to know the city, I dont know, the moment will tell.
