Georffrey Mexican paradise and hell, but also very awake in its innovative eagerness for national tourism, especially when it comes to the exhaustion of the sun and beach model. It is true that the route of the volcanoes has already been invented, like disaster tourism (Chernobyl, Fukushima, Katrina …), but neither can she be asked to know everything, no matter how ministerial.
