One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
The most amazing thing I've done has been to travel to Cuba. In spite of the prejudices people can have about that country, it has been an amazing experience.
I had not planned my trip ahead at all and have lived in Cubans' houses. I loved the fact that I got to talk and share with Cubans native. I learned a lot about the vision Cubans have about their own political system and economic situation. I was great to learn and see by myself and not through the media or history books.
Teach, Learn, Share
I like to learn about new cultures and places and love to meet new people.
