My 22nd birthday

Hello, I'm going to talk about my last birthday, the 23rd october of this year. This birthday was very specal to me because the past 18th october started a social revolution in Chile. This have changed till today all the relationships between the citizens of Santiago and for all over the national territory, and also  the way to understand de public spaces like the streets, squares and parks mainly. That day I woke up a little angry because my boyfriend didn't surprised me with a breakfast, he only asked me if I wanted to eat something, but this wasn't very relevant. After that we got up and we went to plaza Dignidad (ex Plaza Italia) to walk and scream and protest with another friends. Then I launched some combative lentils and an imperialist Coca-Cola in the house of my friend Marina, while we was seing the tear pumps fly through the air. Then we come back to the streets and after that we drank some beer in Parque San Borja while we were watching female football. I fi

My (un)probably future

When you're living in the 21st century and the world and the people go so fast, and the internet and the social medias helps you to know everything that you want to know, is very difficult to predict your own future. Right now we're living a social revolution that 2 months before we would never have imagined. Even tough if we live the life that we have planned would be very boring, I think that we I start to imagine my future in the next 10 years, I would be very happy. In 2029 I will have 32 years old, less than the half or even the third part of my life that the scientists tell me that I will live. I expect that at that age I will have my college degree of Geography, but my real dream is to travel around the world. I expect a lot to be travelling at that age, mainly in Latin America, the Southeast Asian and Africa. How I will be knowing a lot of countries, it's probably that I will travel alone or with a few friends, but also I'll be meeting a lot of people.

A one-on-one conversation

Today I'm going to talk about a person who I would like to have a conversation with. This person was a great leader and one of the most important heroes of the history of Latin America and the entire world. His name was Ernesto "Che" Guevara, alias the Commander Che Guevara. I tihnk that everyone in the class know at least one or two things about him, he form part of our conversations when we talk about history or revolutions and also latin movies (Diarios de motocicleta). I don't know when I listened his name for the first time, but during the years I have learnt a lot about his life. Right now I'm seing a series documentary called "Cuba Libre", where they talk a lot about his participation in the cuban Revolution till his death in Bolivia in 1967. The reason of why I would like to have a conversation with Che Guevara is because his critical look of the reality that he was living in Latin America. Let's not forget that he was studying Medicine

Las Docas & Sao Miguel

Since I started to study in this university in 2017 I started to travel a lot with my friends with to different places of Chile and other countries from Latin America. The idea was always to arrive to the places that we wanted to meet no matter what transport we had to take or what difficulties we had to deal. In Chile I have to say that the most beautiful beach I have met is Las Docas. This bay is located near Laguna Verde, like 20 kilometers to the south from Valparaíso. We stayed there in tents, with a few more people and it was amazing, it was like being in a tropical country but a little colder. Even tough Las Docas was very pretty, the most stunning beach that I have ever met was in Sao Miguel dos Milagres. This beach was located in the northeast of Brazil, near the city of Maceió. To get to this place we had to travel a lot in bus, minibus and mototaxi. We get there because there was a camping there (perfect for us the poor backpackers). This beach had the water warmer than o
My travel to Bolivia in the summer of 2018 The summer of 2018, I travelled to Bolivia. I visited many place in this country and went a very nice experience, but it was very complicated. The objective of this trip was know the Andean zone like Oruro, La Paz. Copacabana, Titikaka Lake, also know the Bolivian amazon like Rurrenabaque and Coroico, and finally know the center specifically the locality of Torotoro. Know all these places was very complicated because they were many places. First, I needed many so I worked in the year and studied. Secondly, in Bolivia, the transport is very bad and I had make a many trips of a lot hours in bad buses. Besides eat in restaurants it was very dangerous for the stomach and the accommodations were very bad. Finally, I went back to Chile very sick but I made the whole trip because I never forget my objective to visit those places. To achieve it just resisted the adversities and I just thought that I would reach a beautiful place and get know a n

My last holidays When I finished the university in January, in the summer of 2019 I traveled to many places. The last week in January, I traveled to South of Chile with my boyfriend and his family.  We went to house in Calafquen Lake in Licanray. It was very entertaining because we swam in the lake and in the night we play “dudo”.  After to Lincanray I went to Elqui Valley in Coquimbo with my family. We were in a house in the center to Pisco Elqui. The house was beautiful, with a big playground and pool. The last travel of my vacation was to Brasil with my boyfriend. In February 19, we started the trip from Chile. We arrived to Sao Paulo and then we traveled to Salvador. In Salvador We met the Historic Center and enjoyed the carnival. Then we traveled to center of Brasil, to the Chapada Diamantina Park, this is the most beautiful place. After we traveled to Northeast of Brasil, We met a many beach. We traveled from Maceio to Recife Knowing the beaches.  The most beautiful beach

A meal in Greece

Hi everyone!!! Today I would like to talk to you about a family meal that I had in Greece. In july of 2018  I traveled to Europe with my parents Carolina and Claudio. We visited some places and cities in Spain, Italy and Greece. One of the places that we visited in Greece was Santorini. One night in Santorini  we decided to have a meal in a restaurant of greek food. There I eated a greek salad and a dessert. When we were eating it started to rain and then started a electric storm with huges lightning bolts, and at the same time in the Egeo sea the Santorini volcano it lit up. We were shocked but for the rest of the people in the restaurant that was a normal event, like the earthquakes for chilean people. It was a wonderful night. I will never forget that family meal. Here's a photo of Santorini at night
