Hello everyone, my name is Liliana Gutiérrez, I'm Colombian. I studied Design and Decoration.
I love learning other languages like French, Italian and Portuguese. I like to travel and get to know other cultures, hystories and customs.
I love my country from its perpetual snows, present in our ridges and snow-capped mountains, to its high temperatures at sea level. In Colombia you will find all the climates, at any time of the year, you just have to find the city that has the temperature you like.
For me it's a wonderful country when I traveled and lived in other countries I missed it very much I felt nostalgic for my land because each corner has its charm because it really has everything: beautiful beaches, mountains, valleys, plains and deserts, as well as cities that are worth knowing. Each place has a beauty worth admiring and visiting.
I have to mention that here you can enjoy the best coffee in the world and no matter where you go, you will always find a delicious typical dish to discover and enjoy: the Paisa tray, the ajiaco, the sancocho valluno, the fish with patacones, the tamales and the arepas.
I imagine that you have heard or read that visiting Colombia continues to generate fear in many travelers and probably the reason is that there are still memories about the country's violent past, specifically about the FARC and the war on drug trafficking. But we go ahead and manage to turn that page and overcome that past, travelers who still have doubts about whether or not they can do it without fear.
Because as the Colombian tourism campaign says; "The risk is that you want to stay"
About me
I worked in a Savings Bank for five years and then I quit because I wanted to explore the world and I took on this adventure with my sister and a friend. I visited some countries like Spain, France, Germany and Switzerland. We managed to survive for 3 months, we endured hunger but it was a great experience.
Then I worked for another company for nine years I felt that I stayed long enough in this job and I decided to change my life, so I gave it up to travel again to other countries that I couldn't vistit on my first trip to Europe. I was living six months in Europe.
Traveling around Europe was fascinating and I visited some nice places and met some very friendly and hospitable people. This experience gave me great life lessons. It is in vain to travel if one doesn't know a little about the history, literature and art of each place because one can end up in a shopping mall. Travel forces us to trust strangers and lose the comfort of our home. Nothing belongs to us except the essential things: the air, the rest, the dreams, the sea and the sky.
People who I like
I like people who have a sense of justice.
I like people who know the importance of joy and preaches it, people who, with their energy, are contagious and sincere.
I like people with judgment, who are not ashamed to admit that they were wrong or that they don't know something. People who, by accepting their mistakes, strive not to make them again.
I like people who say what they think but above all I like people who think before they speak.
I believe more in the honesty, kindness and humility of a person than in their titles, or social level. Because being a professional is not having a degree. Being professional is knowing what you do. Even the wisest can learn something from you.
What I love to do
I practice Pilates and Yoga stretches, as well as meditation thanks to a great friend who helped me open my mind and introduce meditation as a habit in my life. This has helped me to find my tranquility and inner peace.
I'm passionate about Latin dance. For me, dancing is not just moving the body, it's much more ... it's making your heart beat, if you dance with your heart your body will follow you. It's feeling the music and letting ourselves go ... It's feeling adrenaline through our veins. It's expressing what we feel. It's forgetting everything, it's being in another world, being outside of yourself. It's flying, living, dreaming and enjoying.
I like animals because they have the quality most valued by any living being, they are love in its purest form, I have a special connection with the dogs that have been my best friends because they are honest, loyal and extremely faithful. Dogs are connected with very high vibrations and are incredibly sensitive. They are capable of perceiving much more than you imagine, they are energy radars.
I also like cats they represent spirituality. They are enlightened beings that transmit calm and harmony.
Finally I'm thankful for being alive, for a new day, for the wonderful things that come into my life, for the water I drink, for the food, for winning, for losing, for going, for coming, for trying, for making mistakes, for knowing and feeling.
Thank you for taking the time to read my introduction. I'm here to learn from you all and improve my writing skills by sharing my posts.
Have a nice day.
