Who Inspires Me?
There are a lot of inspire peope in the world. Many people want to be like some artist or some famous person. But in my case the only thing that I want  is to be like my mom. She is the most inspiring person that I have never know. She always know what to say and always find a solution for the problems. I have no doubt that she is my favorite person in the world, she is the best mom that any person can have. She inspires me because of her effort, pacient, worker, and so many other things that if I start to say I might never end writting.

House Swapping

"You give yours, I give you mine"


Generally, in our country this practice is not so commun, in contrast with other countries where people use to change their houses with other families even from other countries. Some reasons of why people use to do this kind of thing is because they want to know other language, or might want to know form another cultures. This kind of idea catches my attention for complety because I think it would be awesome to know how do other families live. Maybe I would like to do a swapping with a family from Europe or maybe a place in USA, it would be nice to live in other place far from Costa Rica. Also it´s a chance to know many other people with different types of lifes.
