One response to “Week One Tasks”

    Hey everyone, sorry for the late reply; I’m still getting used to the no canvas and got really confused for a second. My name is Bibiana (Bibi) Cortez; I’m in my third year studying psychology. I’m originally from Monterrey, Mexico but I moved to Vancouver 10 years ago with my family, so I can speak Spanish fluently, although sometimes my writing and spelling could be better. I love travelling, especially to Latin American countries and learning about traditions, customs, gastronomy, values, and lifestyles. I would say one of my favourite places I have been is Merida, Yucatan, which is a city rich in the history of the Mayans and Spanish cultures during the colonial era; it’s filled with ancient Mayan ruins, its safe, the food is fantastic, the people are the friendliest most kind people, so I recommend it to all of you.

    I’m taking this course as my second literature requirement, and since I’m from Mexico, it would be a good opportunity to learn more about Latin American literature. While my family at home knows almost all these authors, I don’t know most of them, so I’m excited to learn about them and what influenced them to write their pieces. Therefore with this class, I hope to learn more and expand my knowledge of Latin American authors and their backgrounds since I think that has a lot to do with what they write. I’m excited to meet all of you!

    My question would be, ” If you have travelled to a Latin American country, which one would you consider to be your favourite? and why?”
