Summer Plans

Imagen
Hello everybody, today I’m going to tell you about my plans for this summer. With three friends we are making plans to go in February or March to the “Volcán Tronador” located near the eastern shore of lake “Todos Los Santos”, in the border with Argentina. It is a tremendous massif and a very beautiful place covered by seven glaciers, in fact the origin of the name is probably because of the frequent serac that falls on the glaciers and the sound that they make is similar to thunders. I know it will be a great expedition, we’ll need a week approximately to get to the summit and comeback to Peulla where the adventure starts. To climb this volcano you need to know how to move on glacial terrain and be in good physical condition to spend a week climbing a hill with a lot of weight. I’ve been working since September in “McDonald’s” to get the money to go there and buy equipment necessary. After go there, we’ll go to Cochamó located in the province of “Llanquihue”, to continue climbing and ...

My favourite serie

Hello, today I’m going to talk about my favourite serie that is “Avatar: the last airbender”. I remember that when I was a child I used to see this serie all the time, and I still do. I have seen this serie many times, and also the sequel,which name it's "Avatar: the legend of Korra". I like this serie because I love the evolution of the characters, for example the evolution of Zuko that at first is the main villain in the story but at the end he changed and converted in part of the group of friends of the Avatar. I also like the thematics that the serie approach that have a lot of Buddhism  lessons, the humor, and more. I think is a great serie not only for kids, but also for adults. I think that my favourite kind of series are the type that involve  traveling and personal growth of the characters. I’m not a person that sees a lot of series or movies, but there is a serie that I would like to see because I tried to see it before but I never ended it, so I would like to t...

My future job

 H ello everybody, today I’m going to tell you about the job I would like to have in the future. I think that on one hand I would like to work on something related with what I studied, that is psychology, maybe in public health, or doing research on something related to climate change or environmental psychology. And on the other hand, I would like to work on something related with mountaineering that is something that passionates me, maybe be instructor of escalade or mountain guide. I imagine that if my plans work well, I'll have to be very organized with my time. I'm a person that prefers outdoors jobs, but I wouldn’t mind working in indoor jobs if in the weekends I have the chance to go the mountain to relax. About the salary I don't really mind much, because for now I don't have plans of have kids or something, but   the only thing I’d like to have is a job which allows me to buy all the equipment necessary to accomplish my projects and gives me time to tra...

My favorite movie

Hello everybody, today I’m going to tell you about my favorite movie. Is a very difficult question, because is hard to decide just one, but I remember that I used to like very much “The curious case of Benjamin Button” when I was younger. I liked this movie because I thought it was very romantic that the main characters despite the distance they always kept each other in mind and loved each other since they were kids, and because the movie approaches various subjects like death and life, so it made think a lot about everything. The truth is that I’m not a person that sees a lot of series or movies because it demands a lot of time, but I like to watch dramas or thrillers. I remember that the last movie I saw was “The Lord of the rings” because I had never seen it and it’s part of popular culture, and I think is a good movie to spend the time with friends, you can make a marathon with all the movies of the franchise and spend many hours.

Holidays: San Pedro de Atacama

Imagen
  I’d never been interested in going to the north of Chile until 2017 that I went on a trip with my mother and sister to San Pedro de Atacama. We went on Easter Holidays so we went for about 4 days. I know that 4 days may seem like too little time, but we visited many places as “Ojos del salar de Atacama”, “Valle de la luna”, “Lagunas altiplánicas”, “Géiser del Tatio” and more. The activity that i liked the most was going to an observatory and looked at sky at night, was so incredible because even seeing naked eye we could appreciate all the planets and stars very well. It has been the best holidays so far because I could see beautiful landscapes with two persons that I love so much, and we could connect with each other a bit more, and because fell in love with the particular landscapes of the north of Chile. Since that trip I love the north and I would like to visit it again, but now I would go to climb volcanoes.

A country I'd like to visit

Imagen
  Hi everybody, my name is María Jesús, there are many countries I would like to go, but there is one that I would really love to visit, and it’s Iceland. This dream began when I heard for the first time Björk's music, because she includes the landscapes of his country within her songs. So, that motivated me to search for more information about Iceland. What I know about Iceland is that is a country with so much volcanic and geological activity, characterized by deserts, mountains, and glaciers. I’m a mountaineer so I would like to travel around all the landscapes and climb as much mountains and volcanoes is possible. There are many famous mountains, but Hvannadalshnjúkur is the tallest. To do all that, I would love to stay and live for a while in that country. Maybe I can apply for a working holiday, or something like that. I don’t know how or when, the only thing I know is that someday i´ll be there.
