Country to visit

I would visit Mexico. I was there recently, in San Luis Potosí, but I feel that there are lots of things to do even in that little city and I would visit this country again, and again, and again...

Some important places to visit are museums, for example the “Museo de la Máscara” in San Luis Potosí, historical and religious structures, such as churches and castles, and natural sanctuaries.
An aspect that make Mexico unique is the rich mythology and culture of Aztecs, Toltecs, Olmecs, Mayas and other prehispanic civilizations. It was amazing that Quetazlcoatl (or Kukulcan) had a similar symbolism to the greek god Prometeus!! Or the sad association between Quetzalcoatl and the Devil because their serpent form.

In addition, the people of San Luis Potosí are so warm and gentle with foreign, I don’t have to pay lodging due to my new Mexican friends! And they love the multiculturality :) I hope that it is a characteristic of all Mexican people.

    Congratulations on your unique experience in Mexico. It is great that you learned about Greek culture in Mexico because now you are more open-minded and have new experiences to talk about and also can see that all cultures are connected.

A part of Central América! If I had the possibility to visit another country, I would like to visit Guatemala and Costa Rica. The culture and history of Guatemala captive my attention so much. By other hand, Costa Rica has an amazing nature places full of green landscape and animals. The most important thing to me is to get involve in a different culture, where people live in a rural area very close to historic ruins. If I had the possibility in Guatemala to stay into a community sharing a traditional lifestyle would be amazing for me. In Costa Rica case, I would love to live some days in a totally disconnection into the Jungle and be able to flow with the nature. In addition, I would like to take photos in both countries, as a visual register of the experience. I cannot stop imaging some photos of the wonderful people, flora and fauna of these countries in my apartment wall. In brief, life is about experiences so, before I die I promise myself to have this tr...

If I had the possibility to visit a foreign country, I would definitely visit Australia.  The fact that this  country is also a continent has made me curious all my life, but this is not the main reason to visit this southern country. The main reason is that I have heard how they speak English in films and the way they speak is not so easy to understand, and as I love languages and dialects, I would love to speak to Australians and see how well we can understand each other. Another important reason is that I have watched documentaries about the exotic plants, mammals, reptiles and frogs that are unique to  Australia. For example, kangarous, koalas, dingos are animals that I have never had the opportunity t osee, and I think that the real experience of seeing them in their natural habitats would be wonderful. In summary, although there are many other tourist destinations that I dream of visiting, the number one on my list would definitely be Australia due to its pec...
