Blog 5, Free topic 2: Photos with history

 I chose the following photos for this blog because I consider it to be one of the most important moments both at a country and personal level. My story is that when I went to the march on October 25, 2019. This march was the one with the highest attendance ever recorded. That day was very agitated, I could not believe when the social networks commented that many people had gone until I saw the magnitude in person. There really wasn't a space from one person to another so it was very difficult to walk, it was so much that I even lost sight of my friends and the most terrible thing was that the mobile phone signals didn't work because it was collapsed but even so we had already assigned a meeting point which was in the phone tower that is in the corner of the park bustamante. 

The following picture shows when I finally met my friends walking down a crowded avenue:

A phrase on the poster

Personally that month was a reunion with myself where I learned a lot, it was very liberating to go to all the marches possible. It was wonderful to feel the connection of the people, to see the solidarity that was generated in situations where we all came together and became one. That's why the phrase on the poster tells me a lot about what was experienced that month and what is still being experienced!



Tell me in the comments a story of yours!! :D

Things I'll do after quarantine

 Hello to all my readers!


Today I'm going to tell you what I have planned for when the pandemic is over and we are finally released from quarantine.

Being locked up in quarantine for several months now everything is becoming very routine, being with my cats, getting up and seeing the four walls of my room has made me think about everything I want to do when this endless quarantine is over.

At the S&S bar with my friends
What I long for most is to be able to go out with my friends and clear my head, the simple fact of thinking about it makes me happy, to see different faces and to be able to socialize, to let off steam more than in front of a simple screen. I already have a lot of meetings scheduled that I want to go to.

Cajón del Maipo
I would like to go with my friends and my partner to the Cajón del Maipo to reconnect with nature, for this very reason we decided that after this mandatory confinement we will go camping. I miss being able to feel the smell of the humid earth, being able to be inside the forest and listen to the sound of the treetops in the wind, feeling freedom and peace at the same time. Just writing it down reminds me of the days in the field.

But I'd also go to the academy to take some dance lessons. I really like the positive energy that's going on inside the room. Besides, dancing allows you to meet a variety of people. And finally I will go and demonstrate to show that there is still social discontent and even more so with the things that have happened during quarantine (I leave a little video of the beauty of social marches)


and what will you do when all that chaos is over? Tell me in the comments!!

Blog 1: A country I would like to visit





 I have never had the opportunity to travel and get to know another country but if you ask me which country I would like to visit without thinking I say Puerto Rico. 


Puerto Rico is located in America in the northeast of the Caribbean Sea between the Dominican Republic and the British Virgin Islands. It is an island that has a free state associated with the United States. 

I really like the culture and architecture of this island, you can see both modern and colonial architecture with a lot of colour. I must also admit that I love the accent they have. 


Among the first places I would visit would be El Yunque.It is one of the oldest natural reserves in the northern hemisphere with 11,000 hectares and it is the only tropical forest ecosystem that the United States has. It has a very diverse flora and fauna!

I would also make a night visit to the bioluminescent bays where a very rare natural phenomenon occurs. The waters glow as they are stirred by the waves! This happens because there are some microorganisms that when they come in contact with something they give off light.

I believe that every country has its magic side and that is what makes them so interesting to know. I hope that Puerto Rico is one of the countries that is in your list of places in the world to visit :D
