Something You Enjoy Doing Outdoors

The activity I most enjoy doing outside is climbing mountains. The truth is that my family don’t like or have the habit of hikking. The only memories I have as a child climbing mountains are when we climbed the hill near my great-grandparent´s house to raise volantines on September 18th.

Maybe I don’t consider that as a big deal, but it´s because in Chile we are surrounded by mountains.

I think this taste started when I was a teenager when I was surrounded by friends who did have the habit of hikking and a outdoor life.

Together, we climbed the nearby hills in the V region and even dabbled in the art of mochilear before the pandemic. Once to Chiloe and the other to Bariloche.

It may seem silly, but the greatest sensory memory of those walks to raise volantines with my family that I told you about a while ago, was when I ran down the hill with my cousins.

That adrenaline has captivated me and perhaps later I will dare to do more risky climbs.

The last big climb I did was in July. Me and my girldfriend entered in the heart of El caqui, which has its summit at 2100 meters above sea level.

Being such a nice experience for a couple, we did not estimate the times so the descent was at night, fortunately we were accompanied by a large bright moon and we arrived safe and sound.


This is us before going down the mountain at night

 Music Since the pandemic I started the habit of listening to at least 1 album a day, it is something that totally takes me out of my routine, it is my ritual. The album I listened yesterday was philos by Park Jiha, an interesting work that mixes the fleeting nature of ambient with samples of different artists. Movies The other day I went to the Normandie cinema to see the movie that I think brings in tears  even to the harshest fascist. La memoria infinita, another masterpiece by maite alberdi that left me amazed. Blog I plan to travel to Germany in the summer and I started to learn German very very very very slowly. The two pages that I have occupied this time have been nicos Weg, which is a very interactive website to practice and the Easy German YouTube channel where I can familiarize myself with the language in a more fluid way. Without a doubt these two spaces have helped many people who have decided to migrate or learn the language. Museum Unfortunately I couldn't be in Sant

BLOG 4 - My dream job

 Sometimes we spend so much time thinking about what our ideal job would be, what topics we would like to investigate in the future, which I don't think is bad, in this way we are exploring our tastes and interests. But the reality is that you never know what you will find on the way, and I am not talking about destination, I mean that interests and tastes are constantly changing and it is something natural and I think that being closed to an idea does not allows exploration. In my case, studying architecture I have found many topics that I would like to investigate or work on in the future, and more and more topics are appearing, and I suppose that in the 4 years that I have left in my career, more and more will appear. So thinking about an ideal job at this point I think is unnecessary, even so I would like to share certain things that I imagine for the near future. Despite not being my ideal job as an architect, I would like to work for a couple of years in an architecture offic

Language

In terms of languages, Latin America has such a poor level of English because it is not really a necessity. With the exception of Brazil we all speak the same language. In addition to this, the English classes taught at school prioritize the writing and listening part over the speaking part. In my case, I have had English classes since I was 4 years old, I can read, listen and write English and make myself understood. However, since I do not have the need to be understood by another person who speaks another language, my spoken skills are very bad. Despite this, I think I can make myself understood. The easiest thing I find about the English language is being able to be understood despite not having such an extensive vocabulary or handling so many strictly rules.  Even so, there are certain accents that are difficult for me to understand and this is precisely the part that complicates me. The movies have trained me to understand the most common and sometimes stereotyped accents, but th
