One of my biggest dreams has always been to be able to travel the world. My love for food has led me to investigate traditional desserts, breakfasts and dishes in various regions of the world. Knowing that there is a diversity of dishes, constructions and landscapes belonging to a culture very alien to mine, out there, has made me add new countries, very different from each other, to my list of wishes to fulfill. Currently I have not had the opportunity to visit as much as I would like, but I appreciate the opportunity to list the countries that have captured my attention the most, because I feel that another of my dreams is even closer.
Italia - Roma
To begin with, I want to talk about the first country that came to mind when reading the contest topic. Italian, as a language, has always seemed beautiful to me. The truth is that I don't remember when I decided to learn Italian, or when the culture of this country made me fall in love. However, if I know that I want to get lost in the Roman streets visit the Tower of Pisa or the Roman Colosseum, eat traditional dishes unknown to me, walk through Sicily or visit the Cathedral of Milan. It is a very beautiful, rich country, and although we all know it, I feel that it has much more to offer between the streets of its cities and small towns.
Grecia - Oya
In addition to all the history that has come down to us from Ancient Greece, its small cities, such as Oya, seem like paradisiacal destinations full of many things to know. I have read a lot about its gastronomy and I am very curious about the mixture of flavors in which its typical dishes and sweets result! I don't know anything about the Greek language, but precisely because of this presence of all mythology in our own culture, which in some way or another has shaped us, I would like to know the language in which these ideas were formed!
Costa rica - san jose
I started to know a little about this country thanks to many people who have traveled, and I would like to know it beyond the screen; I think it is a very good destination to spend a vacation and the care and love for nature that its people have draws my attention. Knowing its capital, San José and enjoying Central Park, the oldest area in this area ... but above all, visiting paradisiacal beaches such as Tortuga Island, Santa Teresa is what motivates my love for this country! Also, doing it while you get to know its gastronomy and desserts, which from what I've heard are a delight, must be a dream!
Brasil - Rio de Janeiro
When I was little my parents used to put on a Sergio Méndez CD, this made me fall in love with the music of a country as beautiful as Brazil. Thus, I was delving into the culture, language and traditions of such a rich and special country, which keeps the best secrets of the Amazon! I must also admit that I would love to eat their traditional dishes, visit colorful cities such as Rio de Janeiro, know a little about its monuments and its paradisiacal beaches!
Cuba - La Habana
The reason I want to go to this beautiful and nostalgic country is mainly because all my paternal family is there, I have never seen them in person and the only way I have communicated with them has been virtually, and my greatest wish It is knowing them, learning a little about their culture, their customs and hearing about my dad's past.
