When I was a schoolboy I realized I really love sharing my local culture, tradition and history with others, meeting new people and making friends. I was also good at learning English. Thus, all these background made my mind up to study Tourism. In addition, I was born and raised up in a village. Then who better than me can know the local culture and history as I have grown up speaking two languages: Quechua and Spanish, the first one, is our ancestors' language (my mother language too) with about 1. 5K years of speaking widely in the Andes.
