Post 8 >> Summer plans

On January I’ll travel with my parents to Chiloé. We’ve planned go by bus and backpacking there. My dad wants to take me to Parque Cucao and Parque Nacional de Chiloé so surely we’ll stay a couple of weeks in the mystical island. I ‘ve been saving money during this year for another plan. I want to meet the north of our country because I only have known Coquimbo and La Serena. I want to go to Atacama desert and their most famous places like “El valle de la luna” or the geysers…. I’ve also planned to travel by bus from Arica to Bolivia, but I need the yellow fever vaccine to complete this dream. If I get it, I’ll go to the Bolivian’s Amazon and help with volunteering projects like take care of wild animals (because I have some experience) or maybe take photos to help the tourism of that place. I have this idea with my partner. We are very motivated and adventurers so this could work. He knows a lot of animals because his family have an exotic pet store. We want to do this trip fo

POST 7 >> MY BUCKET LIST

Imagen
Sometimes I think what I want to do before I die. The first activity I would include in my bucket list is travel. I would love to meet Scotland and their green highlands. It’s a very mystical country and I like that. Also I want to meet Japan because since I was a child I like their culture and actually, I know a little of their language. I would go to Kyoto and their famous themples. In some moment of my life (I don’t know yet) I want a minipig and a cockatoo as pets. Sadly, there’s no allowed the enter of this kind of pig to our country. I’ve done one of them. In the last summer, I went backpacking to Parque Inglés and Las Siete Tazas only with my dad (and bestfriend). Also, I met one of my favourite musical groups, Illapu. I talked some words with them and took a photo too. Because of a work, I could interact with exotic animals like snakes, pythons, frogs, chameleons, toucans, macaws, geckoes, tortoises, lizards, and more... It was a wonderful experience! I had to feed an

Post 6 >> POSTGRADUATE STUDIES

In the future, I would like to take some gastronomic course because I love cooking and I’m always looking for new recipes to try to do in my home. I think it would be interesting to take some course of Asian or Arabian flavours. Currently, I’m changing my daily diet and I only eat fish as animal protein. I would like to become myself in a vegan lifestyle but for now, I still eating eggs and honey. For this, I want to explore more about vegan food and how to apply it. Like I said, I would study international gastronomy so… I think the best choice would be travel to different countries and learn about their local food. For example, I love bitter-sweet food so it would be great live a few months in Thailand and learn of that. I also like spicy food, so I could travel to Mexico or Southkorea and know more about their tastes. I should study basic things of cooking in some course and then, travel and explore. Other thing that I would enjoy to do is learn about cocktail drinks.

Post 5 >> My Future Job

I wouldn’t like to have only one job in my life. I think people have many personal attributes so we shouldn’t live our lives making the same thing every day. So boring…  I would like to be useful for who really, really needs my help. I mean war refugees, poor people, protected animals, affected people in natural disasters… things like that. I imagine myself traveling to Zimbawe for teaching language to the children, or playing with protected panda bears in China. What a dream… I would love to travel a lot in my future job! But not like business travels, I mean meeting other cultures and exploring different places. I’ve learned that I don’t need too much to be happy, so I don’t worry too much the salary of my future job. If I can eat well and stay the night indoor, I’ll be fine. Currently, I am studying journalism. I chose this career because it might be useful for writing or filming about the lands that I will know.  If I study other career in the future, I think it would be eco

POST 4 >> My favorite book

I don’t have a favorite author because I like to read more than one literary genre. However, I have to highlight some Spanish classical writers like Francisco de Quevedo, Luis de Góngora, Calderón de la Barca and others. They wrote in a very romantic way. This year I began to read some of Gabriel García Márquez and Julio Cortázar and I really like their style of writing. I think that I’m inclined to love stories. I prefer to read history books, or alternatively, based on true stories. I mean… world wars, feminism, hippie movement, Cold war, French revolution, etc. I like to know how was the human being in our past, his behavior and all the change we have experienced as society. My favorite book ever is “Like water for chocolate” of the writer Laura Esquivel. It’s a passionate love story based at the beginning of 20th century in some place of Mexico. I could read it a hundred of times. The last book I read is “The puppet boy of Warsaw” of Eva Weaver. It’s based on the Warsaw g

Post 3 My favourite movie

Imagen
I like "Dirty Dancing" (1987). I really enjoy romantic movies and this is one of my favourites. This film has very good dance scenes and it's based in  the decade of 60's. I love the soundtrack too, it has a lot of rock and roll music and it teached me that there's more than just reggaeton to dance sexy. I think I don't have a favourite type of movies, because I like to vary. But I recognize that I love the classic ones. With this I mean since Charles Chaplin to Al Pacino. The most recent movie I saw is "The gods must be crazy" (1980) and I totally recommended it! It's an old film but it's so funny and interesting. It's about african natives and how their system of life (without technology) is interrupted for a empty coca-cola bottle. They don't know what is it and they think that their gods sent that to them. One of the natives realize that the bottle only came to bring fights and broke their peace, so he starts a search of the e

Post 2 (week 4) The best holidays ever

In the last summer, I went to the Maule Region with my dad, spicifically we went to Parque Inglés, near of a little town called Molina. We stayed five days and four nights and I think, it was a very important travel to me and to talk with myself to know what I want to do in my life, in general. We took a bus from Rancagua to Molina, only with a bag on our backs. We carried canned food, our tent, sleeping bags, and the most basic kitchenware. It was summer, so we didn't carry too many clothes and obviously, we had cash for any emergency.  We stayed in a camping next to a river so when it was time to sleep, we heard that relaxing sound. The camping didn't have electricity and in the night, we used to look up to the stars and it was just wonderful and shiny.  We woke up early and everyday we went to do some trekking routes of medium and high intensity. We finished so dirties and sweaties. Then, we took a shower with cold water. I spent a great time here because I realized t
