My path

About me

Hi, I am a dominican girl studing in Rio de Janeiro since seven months ago. I like Social Sciences but also likes enjoy party and adventure. I will stay here during 2 years and I really want to join this society and its culture. Sometimes I think this goal could be very difficult considering that cariocas only speak its own lenguage (and I´ve started to learn it just weeks ago and my native lenguage, spanish, is useful here) Anyways.. I´m glad I moved over here, this could be a very nice experience. I am even more glad when I recentely knew that Brazil was the 6th in the world in economic developement( as you image, this is a kind of plus at the time to retourn to your country). Kindly, Diana

I can speak Spanish, English and Portuñol

My birthday is on 26 June, I was born in 1984

Brazil
Rio de Janeiro

I am currently living in Brazil since February 2012

My life & projects in this location:

I study Political Science. Actually it is the only thing that I do at the moment.

My occupation:

I don´t work in Rio.

What I like about this destination:

Carnaval is an amazing space to get involved with culture, the train runs incredibly well; banks are centers of transfers and payment for basic services; presenting your student ID card you get discounts at the box office of cultural activities.

What I don't like about this destination:

Quality of life is a privilege of a few; economically speaking, the cost of life is burlesque. Political system is pluralist notunderstanding standard citizen is not involved with its topics; the last three governments have been workig for social inclusion but they haven´t been successful; services and products in the telecommunication area are coarse and stink.

Dominican Republic
Santo Domingo

I lived in Dominican Republic from June 1984 to February 2012

My occupation:

I use to work as social researcher in una NGO very recognized in Dominican Republic.

What I liked about this destination:

The most attractive thing in the country is the human quality of its nationals. People are very supportive and partying. Comunication services are the best in America Latina; young people participate and think about politics; culture is inclusive; beaches are awesome; food is great.

What I didn't like about this destination:

Public electricity system doesn´t work, some streets are blocked a cause of endless arrangements; Citizen security is being seriously questioned; a lot of people is looking for a job without success.
