"My Future Job" Hello class, how was your week? The truth is, I have never thought about a specific job for my future, I think I am a very changeable person , because many things excite me in life, there is so much to do and discover that a specific or permanent job is not my ideal. But there is only one thing that I have clear since I was a child, and I think I have mentioned it in other posts: TRAVEL !! It's definitely one of my biggest wishes, and I want to do it when I have the resources hahaha. (It is expensive) Knowing other landscapes, people with other cultures, trying new foods, is priceless. I really hope, that the geography career which I am studying in my 2nd year, will allow me to have very out-door jobs and get to know Chile completely, in addition to other countries as well. If my salary allows me to support myself, everything will be fine, because I love my career and I feel very excited about what I can become as a professional, that is why money for me t...

"Rafting" Hi hi everyone , how have you been..? For this week's blog i chosee a very special picture to me that i would like to talk about. This pic is from the summer of 2019, we were in Pucón with my family (and some friends) and we went to the Trancura river to do rafting. I'm especially interested in this photo because we are doing a very beautiful activity that, although I have done it a few times, I would very much like to be able to continue doing it. (If you ever have the opportunity to do rafting, don't hesitate, it's great). I believe that this image represents a lot of what i was before the pandemic, and I hope to return to normal soon and feel outdoors and free to be able to do this and many other activities. I would like to do parasailing the next go. Although the photo does not have a very philosophical meaning in the background, nor is it the most perfect in the world, it is my favorite photo and I chose it because for me it represents fun, happ...

"Doreen Massey" Hello class... I'm studying geography in my second year, and in this post I would like to tell you about Massey, her contributions to geography and why I admire her. Doreen Barbara Massey (1944 - 2016) was a British social scientist,  activist, and geographer  specializing in : Marxist, feminist and cultural geography, (even she contributed some of the most important authors in Marxist geography). She revolutionized the academic world through his books and essays , full of political commitment, and in some, he takes a feminist perspective to consider power relations. She being the precursor of the term "geometry  power." Although her contributions were many more to geography, and the concepts made by her require further explanation, I will summarize it in that I admire her especially because, the main fields of study in which she specialized were : globalization, regional development uneven, the cities and the reconceptualization of the terminol...

 "Bruno Mars 2017" Hi class..! The truth is that I have been to few concerts, but without a doubt, the best of all is by my favorite artist Bruno Mars, this was in 2017 at the Estadio Nacional de Chile. Bruno Mars, is an American singer and songwriter from Honolulu, Hawaii. His musical genres include: R&B, funk and pop. And to date he has 3 albums. Despite having gone alone, the atmosphere inside the stadium felt very pleasant, supportive, and comfortable, there were many people who helped me and accompanied me when I needed it, and shared food and water with me. Finally, when it was time for the concert and I saw Bruno Mars, for the first time, I cried for the emotion and enjoyed the concert very much. (also yelled too much). to this day is one of the best days of my life <3! "Bruno Mars at the Estadio Nacional de Chile." "Photo taken by me".

  " Italy"  Hi class... The truth is, it's very difficult to me choose only one country that I would like to visit, because I want to visit as many as possible. Being able to travel and get to know different countries and cultures, is the only thing that I have been clear about in my life, and even on a professional level I hope that the geography carrer allows me to do so.  However, a country that I have always wanted to visit as a child is Italy, due to many reasons, but mainly because of its gastronomy, (I adore pasta), its architecture, its landscapes, and culture in general, it's a very enriching country and you can get many experiences. If I went to Italy I would like to visit: The colosseum  The Grand Canal in Venice The vestiges of Pompeii and the Pisa tower Also i want to Visit famous museums, and taste a lot of typical dishes. finally if it is possible, i would like to visit cities like Genoa, Florence, Naples and Milan. And of course, if I had the opportun...
