You already have an answer from a native saying both are good. I´d take that an be happy ;) Thanks Evika! And welcome to the forum. - rogspax, Mar 13, 2013
In general, preposition aren´t super logical, so which ones apply to which verbs and situations has to be memorized. There are countless articles on Por vs Para specifically though, including on this site. I think those were my very first cuestions too. - rogspax, Mar 13, 2013
