Y en México "conducir" puede usarse sin problema, pero la palabra más común es "manejar". "Guiar" me suena a Centroamérica y el Caribe, pero no estoy segura de si se usa así.
Thanks, Angélica, I had never heard it before.

Y es verdad, "manejar", se me había olvidado. Creo que he oído "guiar" en alguna película.

@Irma: It was a strange word for us too a couple of years ago, but it's become common for breakfast in restaurants, mostly on weekends.

I didn't know such an animal existed... must be something like liger and tigron.

Nice work!

Although present can be used to express a future action, it's better used differently:

Esta noche voy a fotografiar un acontecimiento... (my personal favourite)
Esta noche fotografiaré un acontecimiento...
Esta noche voy a estar fotografiando un acontecimiento...
Esta noche fotografío un acontecimiento...


Btw, if you using "caro" in the sense of "expensive" (meaning you're going to pay much money for the licence), it's not a usual sentence in Spanish, but it would be understood because of the context.

Hey, like in "La vida es sueño" but a bit more retarded kind of "hipogrifo"... (not quite, but reminded it to one).
Nothing like knowing some mythology to remember all these animals...
They had photoshop, back there in "el Siglo de Oro de las letras españolas"... and that's where Calderón de la Barca got his inspiration to write,
Hipogrifo violento
Que corriste parejas con el viento
¿donde, rayo sin llama,
Pájaro sin matiz, pez sin escama
y bruto sin instinto natural,…
No intention to pulling your leg, and so I will tell this to the Marines... but here is a good link for y'all

Esta mañana fui a Yas Formula 1 Gran Premio Pista en Abu Dhabi para fotografiar unos coches rápidos ¡Fue muy divertido! ¡Me encanta mi carrera!

In Spain we don't say "Esta mañana fui, estuve, etc.", we say "he estado, ha sido", etc.

I'm not sure about the name of the place, "Pista del Gran Premio de Fórmula I Yas", maybe?

Hi Irmamar, ok so I should use present perfect in these cases?

I was trying to say - This morning I went to the Yas Formula 1 Racetrack to photograph fast cars. It was alot of fun! I love my career!

Esta mañana he estado a Pista del Gran Premio de Fórmula 1 Yas en Abu Dhabi para fotografiar unos coches rápidos ¡He estado muy divertido! ¡Me encanta mi carrera!

¡He estado muy divertido!
¡Me encanta mi carrera!
Irmamar was only talking about 'esta mañana (I was)'. She corrected the other sentence to ¡Fue muy divertido!

¡Buenos días a todos! ¿Cómo estáis?

¡El verano es acaba! El clima es cada vez más frío y puedo ir fuera sin quema . Me encanta invierno en Abu Dhabi porque el clima es perfecto, pero no tendremos una navidad blanca
