My summer plans





I just can't wait for summer to start. It's definitely my favourite time of the year and I have been thinking about many trips and destinations, but the only concrete plan I have is to visit Valle del Elqui with my boyfriend. I have never been there before and many friends have told me fantastic experiences about this place.

I intend to make that trip in December, so I can continue traveling in january and february and make the most of my vacation. The second destination we have in mind (for the beginning of january, right after new year) is to get to Chiloé backpacking. The truth is that last year we got there in the same way, but we did not have the time we wanted to explore some communes like Ancud, Quinchao, Quellón, Quemchi, etc. and get to share with the people . This time we are more organized with travel times, so I really hope everything goes well.

A really close friend of mine was there like a couple of months ago with a Huilliche community. They received him very well, giving him shelter and food without asking anything in return, he even had the opportunity to participate in one of his rituals of gratitude with the land. I really hope we can live a similar experience. 

In febreuary, I have plans to go to the beach with my group of friends, but these are plans that we still have to define well: as the place of destination, the number of people that will go, and the amount of money that each one will contribute.

As you can see, I am not planning to work or study at all, because that's what I have been doing the entire year to reach money and enjoy my vacations. :P

A Country I'd like to Visit

Imagen
Hello everybody. Well, I think that is kind of difficult to choose one country because i'd like to travel the entire world and visit so many places. But I think that the first country on the list It would be Bolivia, because is close to Chile. One thing that is interesting about this country for me its their culture, because there is a mix of costumes and traditions between indigenoues people and the spanish conquerors.  One of my best friends was there last summer and told me that it was beautiful and inexpensive.  He told me about "mamingas", women that are in some places in the country. They are so kind and wear traditional clothes. Maningas will help you with everything you need, even if they only speak ther native language: Quechua.  A thing that I would like to do is visit Uyuni: the largest salt flats in the world, because of its amazing views. I would like to go to "La Isla del Sol" too. And obviously, eat a lot of traditional food!

The best concert ever

The best concert I have ever been to was at the Estadio Nacional, on juanary 7th: "La Cumbre del Rock Chilena". I went with my best friends and it was a festival, so it started very early in the morning. There, I saw some of my favourite bands and musicians like Weichafe, Los Miserables, Sexual Democracia, Joe Vaconcellos and Santa Feria. It was amazing! The artist that I was most excited to see was obviously Jorge Gonzalez, because its was going to be his last perfomance. I grew up listening to "Los Prisioneros" and I remember that my big sister had all their cassettes (I am pretty sure it still somewhere in my house). I really love their work as musicians and it amazing how their music has impacted an entire generation in the 80's. His show was brilliant! and the atmosphere in the crowd was a little bit emotional, unlike the other performances were the feeling was powerfull and energetic. I really enjoyed this festival, but I dind't think it was goi

Post graduate studies

I postgraduate course that i'm considering on taking in the future is languages. I would really like to take this course becuase, as a journalist, it opens a lot of possibilities for you.  I've always dreamed about making investigative documentaries, travel around the country, get to know different places, people and realities. I think that is a experiencie that enriches you. And if I can travel not only my country but other continents too, it would be amazing. But before the trip starts, I would like to study here because, seeing it from a very realistic perspective, it's closer to my possibilities. If I can study in other country it would be fanstastic, but I think it would only be possible with a scholarship, so i'm gonna investigate about that. I woul like to do a part-time course, to be 100% involved with what I am doing and be able to learn as fast as posible.  Right now i'm taking a CFG (a general training course) here at the university.
