Get to Know My Host Mom!

I know others would not like having to dress up as much as people in my culture do."

What do you like to do in your free time?:

"In my free time I enjoy catching up with my girlfriends. In Ecuador, it is very common to meet with friends and go grab a cup of coffee, no matter the time. I also enjoy getting my hair and nails done when I have time. I love getting pampered once in a while. Sometimes I go visit my mom and sister, who live only 15 minutes away from me."

What language(s) do you speak? How do you say "Hello" in your language?:

"I can only speak Spanish. 'Hello' in my language is just 'hello.' Since I do want to be bilingual, I am taking English speaking courses in order to learn English as well."

Do you have pets?:

"Yes! I love animals. I have a black cat named Bicha. Bicha loves to cuddle with anybody, so everyone usually loves her! I used to have a dog named Frida, but it ran away. I was very sad for a while, but at least I have Bicha." 

Have you traveled? Where have you traveled to?:

"No, I haven't traveled. But I would love to go to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, so I can get to know your country! I always hear beautiful things about it."

And I replied, "You should go! Not only because I am Dominican, but because the Dominican Republic is beautiful. You will enjoy it and never want to come back!"

What do you do for work?:

"For the most part, I am a housewife. I make sure that everything in the house is kept in order, because if it's not, I'll go insane. However, I do run my own business. I sell earrings to other women within my community."
