Multicultural Experience
Aware and practicing of multicultural understanding, being myself of
varied backgrounds and having lived and shared varied cultures, languages,
customs.
The way I have absorbed and can share on some of those cultures is obviously
as varied as they are themselves, from considering some of their traditional
dishes as my favorites, to a liking for their music, philosophy, values,
etc.
-
Lived in Uruguay, Bolivia, Dominican Republic, United States, Chile, and
shorter stays in Argentina, Peru, Brazil, Panama.
-
From my family background I share the cultures of native american cultures
(Quechua, Aymara, whose language I am currently trying to learn, Guarani,
which gives origin to my first name), Czech Lands and Poland, Spain, and
American Hispanic
-
From learning institutions I have attended I became immersed in French,
German and US cultures.
-
I have also researched into Japanese, Chinese and Korean traditions
