THE BEST HOLIDAYS EVER


The best holidays were in Italy in 2019. After having worked hard for a long time, we could travel to Italy with a plan to tour 'Mochileando'. It was 45 days where we covered most of the country, touring thought the most important cities, like Rome, Florence, Venice, Milan, Genoa, Naples, etc.

Most of the journey was by train. The train works great except for a few delays. People in Italy are relaxed. We were surprised by the ancient culture, the cities in general, the museums, the architecture and -above all- the food and drinks. Terrific! 

Italy has a special meaning for our family because my mother lived in that country after the political exile. She was a victim during the military dictatorship and she had to go outside Chile for a several years when she was young.  

We went to his favorite places and where he lived in Rome, in a so beautiful neighborhood -rione, in italian-, called Testaccio, near the Porta San Paolo, a place that housed many Chileans in political exile too in the 70's.

I really love to return to Rome and spend some time studying. Everything there was incredibly pleasing to me. The sun, the lemonade, the pasta... A nostalgia that I made my own.

Now that my mum passed away, I really like to remember her with Italy.

TIME TRAVEL TO THE PAST

If I had the opportunity to travel to the future or the past, I would choose the past, definitely! The past is a safe place. A place that I consider comfortable too, where I discovered places that will never return and I found beautiful surprises all the time, especially in my childhood. Usually, everybody says 'I had a good childhood'. Me too, but my childhood was amazing because in that part of my life, I remember that I learned a lot of things in a very short time. When I was a child, I really liked colors and associated with the nature. I could watch a sunset for a very long time and see all the colors, between shades of blue or violet, I loved that. I recently did it again in Algarrobo and I remembered when I was 8 years old!  When I remember past times or my childhood, I don't remember so much in a 'photographic' way. Rather, I remember smells, colors and flavors. Sometimes I'm eating something and certain flavors transport me to places and moments in the ...

MY DREAM JOB

Imagen
I'm currently studying architecture, but my dream job isn't related to architecture. My dream job is actually being an aviator, an aircraft pilot, which is like being a bus driver but with more style!  I love the sensations felt when a plane takes off, when it moves in the air, seeing the sky. Being in heaven is like touching the clouds. I really enjoy traveling on a plane, even though for most of the people it's uncomfortable and scary at times, especially in the take off, my favorite moment.  A plane is an extremely complex machine that requieres careful attention, for your life and for those you have 'on board' In Chile, studying to be a pilot is incredibly expensive and you must have perfect physical conditions. When a was 19, I once qualified to study that but my cardiac arrhythmia didn't allow it, something that frustrated me a lot at the time, because I always loved airplanes since I was a child, but life goes on! Currently, as a hobby, I read a lot about...
