I was born in Guatemala City, but when I was 12 years old, I moved to the colonial city and cultural heritage of Antigua Guatemala. My parents raised me with values and moral principles and instilled in me that I should always seek to do good to others. For that reason, I joined Niños de Guatemala NGO, to contribute with a grain of sand to communities that have little access to education.
I love what I do, because, as a Tour Guide, I have the opportunity to get to know more people from different cultures and to show them the beauty of my country, but also the reality. Furthermore, I feel the duty to raise awareness in people and motivate them to help, not necessarily to us, but if our circumstances allow us, helping others allows us to break the cycle of poverty here and everywhere.
I think I can say that my favorite travel memory was when I first met the autumn. In my country, Guatemala, there are no such marked stations as in other countries; here, there is only the dry season and the rainy season. That is why it is known as "the land of eternal spring." So when I felt the cold surrounding and saw the beautiful landscapes tinted with different shades of orange ... I felt the skin bristle. This was my first trip and my first experience traveling outside of my country, and surely I will never forget it.
