I live in an small and cramped apartment close to a big and full of green trees park in Buenos Aires. It is very convenient as there are many facilities close by, such us groceries stores, bakeries, butcheries as well as transportation like the underground and bus stops from which you can reach the downtown in a few minutes.

My best travel experience was a round through Northern Europe, I took about seven flights between domestic and international and many connections, but also some busses and trains to get from a country to another, and inside the cities I used to take the metro, busses, tram, but never a taxi, that would have been nice to take a taxi there since they all were Mercedes Benz and Tesla or similar brands, but a taxi ride was really expensive though

I usually take bus to get wherever I go in my city, getting somewhere here by car it´s quite complicated because this is a chaotic city. Another way which is better it's by bicycle or motorcycle but the last one it's a little more dangerous.

EXERCISE:

Best travel Experience:

Everything begun when I took my flight to Manta-Quito. It was the fastest trip in my whole life, in only 30-minutes, I arrived in the highlands. First, I saw the Pacific Ocean on the left side, then all got foggy and in a couple of minutes the plane was above the clouds and finally I saw the Cotopaxi Volcano. It was really awesome.

Worst travel Experience:

It happened about one year ago, it was my first time traveling from Quito to Manta. I took the bus at 10:00 p.m. and I was conscious of a long trip waiting for me until I arrived at the beach. For the next 2 hours everything was fine. Then the road got very winding and I turned on the air conditioning to relieve nausea. I was waiting to arrived in Manta soon and I imagined all the time a sunny day on the beach.
