My name is María Belén Chicangana Salas, but I’m better known as Mabe. I was born in the beautiful and magical city of Cartagena 18 years ago, but I have lived in Barranquilla since I was 11, so I love both cities and I consider them indistinctly as my home. I am currently studying Social Communication and Journalism at the North University, where I expect to graduate in 2022.

A curious fact about me is that one the reasons why I chose my career was precisely because of the opportunity it offers me to travel and get to know other cultures, an activity that has always fascinated me. That`s why the idea of creating this blog could not fascinate me more. My job in this case will be to conduct an investigation about the stereotypes that surround the American community, and how reliable these are when comparing them to reality. So, if you are interested in opening your mind and knowing more about this culture, I invite you to subscribe and accompany me on this trip discovering the truths that are behind the stereotypes that the society have instilled in us about this culture. Hope you like it.

PD: Remember, we travel to change, not our place, but our ideas.
