Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, people often talk about "experiencias" rather than "vivencias" when they want to stress the learning or professional aspect of an event. Using the present perfect (*he tenido*) signals that the experiences are recent and still relevant to the present conversation. In more formal contexts you might prefer *mis experiencias han sido buenas* to sound slightly more polished.
