Things I would like to do before I die



  


When I think in my life, and proyect it to the future, I always think that I’m so young, and there are so many things that I would like to do before I die.
I want to make and show you a list with its reasons. I hope one day I can achive them. HERE I GO!
1)      To make sports for the rest of my life
It is very important to stay healthy in time, and one way to reach this is making sports. Since I was a child, I’ve passed for many of them (basketball, volleyball, tennis, swimming, roller skating) and I want to practice again the last one.
2))      To record a song in a profesional studio
I love singing, and I’ve always want to be in a room with microphones, and with a person teaching me how I can sing, and getting better.
3)      To know Punta Arenas with my family
Every year me and my family try to go to somewhere in the south of Chile in holidays. But, since I was a child, Torres del Paine and glaciers have called my attention. I hope to go one day with them and enjoy the fresh air, the landscapes, the food, the pictures we take and the rest!
4)      To watch northern lights  
I think this one is the most beautiful spectacle in nature: lights of all colors in the sky! I hope to be alive to see that. (243 words)

The best concert I've had... Lollapalooza Chile 2014!

Well, I have to admit that in every concert I've gone to, I've had a good time. But, if I had to choose one, I think I would choose this: Lollapalooza Chile 2014. 
Lollapalooza Chile 2014 was performed in Parque O’higgins on March, 29th & 30th
I went there with three of my best friends that you can see in this picture, and we absolutely can’t get over that day until today, because we had bought the tickets on August from last year, and we had to wait ALL of THOSE MONTHS to be there and we absolutely enjoy it together more than ever, taking pictures and running stage to stage, singing and jumping in every song we liked and absolutely happier than ever.

The experience to be in Lollapalooza is awesome, because you can stay there all day watching any band you like! The park is big, and it has like 5 or 6 stages, and also stands with everything you want: since food and drinks to Lollapalooza merchandising (t-shirts, jockeys, key-rings, etc.)
At the end of the day I was exhausting, but very satisfied and my friends too about the adrenalinic experience of these type of concerts, like festivals.
The next year I’ll go too, so, I’m getting ready for those days!

Promoting my beautiful country... Chile!

Have you ever thought about why many people from different countries visit Chile? I found reasons that I’ll explain now.
Chile is a country located in South America, next to Pacific Ocean. It’s long and narrow and has territories linked to it: Easter Island, with its tipical moais and Antartic, cold and far, with penguins and a few persons that stay there representing us.
Well, talking about its beauty, I can say that it lies in, for example, the weather and landscapes. Can you believe that our territory is divided in regions with heat, desert, cactus and beaches; and in another side we found with millenary woods, lakes, glaciers, volcanos, mountains and coldness? Two different sides!
And what about Santiago? With its mediterrean weather and many places to visit like Cerro San Cristobal to walk and discover the capital, Valle Nevado to ski, Mercado Central to eat delicious meals with fishes like salmon, for example.
In another point, it’s essential to mention Chilean gastronomy. Since tipical Italian hot dogs, empanadas, corn pie to humitas and mote con huesillo you can enjoy!
And obviously, its people. Setting aside all of our defects, we are nice people, and I’m sure that we want you to feel comfortable here.

I don’t want to tell you more. You only have to come and discover the magic that Chile contains!

A country I'd like to visit

One of my dreams always has been to travel over the world. Today I'll choose a place that I really wanted to visit, and it's called Austria, specifically its capital Vienna.
All of this started when I saw for the first time my favorite movie called Before Sunrise. Its two protagonists go there and in the moment they arrived, I could see the magic through images that this city has in all senses: its beautiful architecture, proximity to Danubio River, museums, old streets and artistic presentations outdoor.
Sincerely, the things I know about this city are only because this movie, but I was searching a little of there and I think if I go one day I’d love to visit museums that have Klimt’s paintings because he is my favorite artist and the thing I want to do so much is to take a walk over the city. This is the best way to know a city, in my point of view.


If I can go there to live, study or work, I think I would prefer to live, but only for a short time because I think I’d miss so much my family and friends.

Getting around

Today I'm going to telling you the ways I use to get to my university daily and how I really feel or deal with that.
Well, my university (Dentistry faculty, Universidad de Chile) is located in Independencia, Santiago de Chile.
I live in Conchalí, which is near to this area . In this way, I don't have many problems with the transport because the main avenue that connects these areas, which is Independencia Avenue and I can access very easily to it.
In mornings, my dad drives my family to their respective places (my brother to his school and my mom to her work) and drives me here too, which is a good opportunity for me.
And when I finished here (sometimes late, sometimes early) the way I get home is taking just one bus (201 or 308).
Most of time, this trip takes me 20 to 30 minutes, in any of these directions.
I think I wouldn't like to commute using different means of transport. The only thing I can say about that is I would like to have subway to my home, or near from it (it's being builing now, I heard that it will be ready for 2018, so, I just have to wait!)
