Me interesa Aprender cosas nuevas, la lectura y la política, soy Agronomo y politologo (In Fieri) me gusta ser host porque puedo conocer nuevas personas, transmitir la calidez de Guatemala al turista de una cultura tan rica como la nuestra. entre mis intereses esta la lectura, el arte, la cultura y política. Amo los animales, y la Cocina. ¡Ten por seguro que tendremos siempre Algo de Qué hablar!
the Santa Catalina neighborhood stands as a captivating blend of history, culture, and modernity. Named after the iconic Convent of Santa Catalina, which dates back to the 17th century, this vibrant district offers a captivating glimpse into the city's rich heritage and dynamic present. right now in the historical center of Guatemala City, 2 blocks away from the National Palace blended in history and Iconic reference from a past Era. we are in the heart of the Government District, its pretty safe we have a high presence of police officers, in each corner, we have museums and historical sites from Guatemalan Civil, religious and Military architecture.
