TOURISM TODAY
Andrés Pedroza Vélez: fan of music and tourism
I am Andrés David Pedroza Vélez, I was born in Colombia in 1994, and my life is characterized by being completely devoted to music.
During my school life, I belonged to the musical project from high school to graduation. At the age of 14, I failed sixth grade because I dedicated the most of my time to music.
Three years later, I quit the musical project, but I failed ninth grade, influenced by my classmates. In tenth grade I resumed music with great fervor. Finally, my school graduation was in 2013.
In 2014 I began to study English while deciding what it could be my official career. I decided to study English because I was not good at this subject when I was in high school.
English has opened many doors for me, so I have gained experience, so I think that it was a great idea to decide to study a career focused on tourism callled Bachelor in Business Tourism and Hospitality Management at Fundación Universitaria Colombo Internacional.
I want to keep on learning more so I would like to continue to study the professional cycle of this career. I am really sure that in-depth knowledge of tourism management process will let me get the ability to work on my own tourism business. It will be called: Popular Musicologist Hostel , and I would like to open it in 2040.
I plan to expand and form a chain of hostels in several Latin American countries. This is a excellent way to mix my two dreams; music and tourism.
