Hi,
My name is Carolina Niño, I’m 21 years old. I study Social Communication and Journalism. I’m finally on my last semester. I currently live in Barranquilla, where I’m working with a group of specialists in the Portoazul clinic.
I love to travel and meet new cultures. I love eating healthy, exercising, going to farms, being with my friends, going to parties and exploring restaurants. I love to share with my boyfriend and my family.

Here you’ll find interesting information about South African culture, regarding gender roles, cultural behavior, subcultures and tribes! I hope you enjoy it 🙂
