Did you know that last year Puerto Rico was ranked among the Happiest Countries of the World?

According to an article on the Caribbean Business, the island improved its positions to the #15 despite the ongoing economic and fiscal woes. Even though the island has been suffering some economic recession that had impacted the tourism, their people have found plenty of reasons to be happy for.

I am an island girl that was born and raised on this beautiful Paradise. I have been working in the hospitality industry for more than 10 years. Therefore, I consider myself to be a great ambassador to promote our culture. Puerto Rico has is all, from its tropical beaches, delicious food, amazing drinks and music that will even make a dancer of a two-left-footed person.

The Caribean island has been recognized as the Rum Capital of the World thanks to its "liquid gold" that have been enjoyed by all who have visited its shores. Puerto Rico has many things to offers to those seeking a place to have a good time while enjoying cultural activities around its Capital, San Juan.

I want to show everyone that this 100x35 island is more than beaches and rum! I know it a major deal, but we are full of flavors, diversity of culture that had impacted the way we stand among others. Puerto Ricans are warm people that will welcome you to their home as a family member. We always have a reason to celebrate whether is a wedding, divorce, baby shower, graduation, birthdays, boxing fights, sports finals, beauty pageant and even election day. There will always be an excuse to reunite with family, friends, neighbors and have great food and drinks.

During this webinar, I will talk about 10 of the things people don't know about Puerto Rico's culture. In approximately 10 minutes, I will be hosting the following topics: our gastronomical influences, traditional rhythms, and dance: bomba y plena. Also, unique cocktails from one of the World's Best Bars, La Factoria, and to reveal some of the hidden places of interest and natural wonders that as a local I can promote.
