Good Bye Friends

Actually, I don't know where, when or how I'm going to be in the next years.  It is something what I'm still thinking right now.  The only thing that I know it is I'm going back to my country next month and my return to Canada is uncertain.  So, I don't have enough information to share with my readers, I'm sorry.  But I'm going to try keeping my blog working so maybe we can keep communicating with you guys.  I'm going to miss the Writing class with all of you guys, I should confess, despite the hard moment I had in writing class, it became my favorite class.  I'm really glad for attended to the ESL program.  I learned a lot.  Thanks to Julie and my other teachers for being patient and their dedication and you guys for your friendship.  I wish you the best for everyone and many blesses.
                                                                                                                       Don't miss me!!!!

Ecotourism

BBC - Travel - Underwater volunteer vacations : Eco-tourism

I found so interesting this article about being a tourist and volunteer at the same time.  This innovative program allow some people participate in the scientific research while they are exploring the nature into the ocean.  Many organizations such as Reef Environmental Foundation (REEF), an Australian nonprofit group (DIVO), Coral Restoration Foundation (CRF) and the Hawaii's Kaanapali Makai Watch offer training to volunteers to teach them what they can do during their visit.  Can you imagine having the opportunity to be part of a scientific research, helping and  learning to conserve our planet.  It will be an amazing experience.
Animals, plants and every living thing have a purpose in this world.  Some of them become in our food, others give us oxygen, and others show us its beauty and majesty, making  us feel good and alive, coexisting with them.  It is important to know that we have just one planet where to live and if don't care it, soon, our planet will be disappear and we will with it.

                                                To be a volunteer could change our life

                         Protect our planet is on our hands!

Tourism

I would like to start giving the definition of Tourism according to Wikipedia.  Tourism is travel for recreational, leisure or business purposes. The World Tourism Organization defines tourists as people "travelling to and staying in places outside their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes". 
Yes, my home country Peru have many tourism places such as ruins, beaches, rivers and lakes, antique architecture, wildlife and different climates allowing you to do outdoor activities  like snowboarding, hiking, Trekking, kayaking and more Peru is considered one of the tourism destination to should be visited because of the different kind of landscape and exotic places it has.  The most famous attraction in Peru is the Historic Sanctuary of "Machu Picchu" considered one of the New Seven Wonder of the World.
I think the most popular type of tourism people prefer is the experimental travel and adventure trips.
We can find tourism in everywhere.  Every country has beautiful places to visit.  In my case, I've just done one tourism trip and it was when one of my friend got married in Cancun - Mexico two years ago.  I fell in love of it with its scenic beaches.  It was amazing. 
Tourism is an exciting adventure we can have.
To give you an another option for you next vacation plan, here is a short video showing a little bit about the diversity of  tourism destination we have in Peru.  If you feel interesting to go there, don't hesitate to contact me and probably you can find me there in the next couple months.  I will be glad to help you to enjoy your visit.

Controversial "Lady Pens"

The commercial about the "Lady Pen" product from BIC pen was hilarious to me.  When I started watching it, I thought is one of the many mocks Ellen likes to do for fun and it was with the peculiarity that product exists in the real life. I didn't know it until now.  I didn't identified me with this product so doesn't bother me.  I think, Bic company tried to do something different to catch the attention of female customer but they didn't considered it could have a negative answer from them.  Unlike me, some ladies got upset with this product probably because of the nice color (pink and purple) it should be just for ladies making feel like girls are superficial without intelligent unable to think and feel.  In my opinion, the BIC company should stop making this product if they don't want to lose money and the most important "Customers".
