I like camping 

The activity that I like the most at the moment is camping, the first time I went camping was when I was ten years old, with my dad and my mom, plus some other family members, with whom we went to the vicinity of a river near Talca, I do not know where exactly, because at that time I only went and did not ask where we were.

A few years later, with my dad we went to the Enladrillado in San Clemente, it is a very beautiful place.

In recent years, after leaving school, in 2019, we started a tradition with my group of friends, where we go camping to San Jose de Maipo, to my grandmother's plot, every year, in 2019 started, but in pandemic (2020 , 2021 and 2022) we could not do them because of possible contagions and fear, since my grandmother is of age, and we prefer to avoid risks, but this year 2023 we returned with the translation and now in the summer 2024, we already have planned to go again. 

Also this year I invited my friends from the university to go to see if something similar happens and we will continue to see each other after finishing our studies.

I started to like camping mainly because I can do it in different places and with the people I want. And because my dad also has a tradition with his friends from college, where they also go to my grandmother's plot in the summers and stay for a weekend, doing different activities. 

And in a few days (this Wednesday the 15th), we are going to a plot of land by the race until Sunday, and we are going with my friends, so I know we are going to have fun and enjoy the places. 

 A place in Chile

Today I will tell you about a place where my family and I have been countless times, with my family we do not travel a lot, at most we go to Valparaiso, but not more than that.

But what I will always remember will be the times we went out and climbed the San Cristobal, I have gone on several occasions, with my cousin, my aunt, my mother, my father and my grandmother.

Once we went with my cousin and she almost gave up half way up, since we walked up. Another time we went with my aunt and my dad on bicycles, it was a nice experience.

The last time I went, we went up to the virgin with my mother, to pay a manda, it was a very hot day, but it was nice to go and enjoy the day, then we went to eat and walk around some sectors of Santiago.

Therefore, my special place would be the San Cristobal hill, more than important milestones have happened, it is because it is a place where I have been able to go with my family and share different pleasant experiences. This is in Santiago, it is a recognized place.

I like it because you can do different things there, there are cable cars, the zoo, the Japanese garden, and other places that are very nice and you can walk around it for most of the day. Besides, it is close to home and you don't need so much money to get there or do things there. But what I like the most is how you can see the sunsets from the highest point.

 A Family Member 

Today I'm going to write about my family and companions, regarding hobbies, I'll be talking about my aunt and my cousin, with them we share tastes regarding anime, manga and kpop, but also for books. 

My aunt likes to read manga and watch anime, because of her I knew this world since I was little, and I am very grateful to her, we both have a tattoo of my neighbor totoro, since we both love studio ghibli movies. 

With my cousin, we also share the taste of reading manga and watching anime, but also watching doramas (Korean series) and other countries like China and Thailand, reading books and kpop. I discovered that she liked them when she was a teenager, but from then on we never stopped sharing things to read or sending each other tiktok with news of our favorite idols or recommended books.

We have a group of wsp, ig and tiktok, to share things with each other, I really appreciate that we do this together, since I don't have family members my age or younger to share my hobbies with, and they are already older, my aunt is 36 and my cousin is 40. 

But with them it makes me very happy to share this.

 Lenguages

I started to learn English since "elementary school", but it was never my forte, it has always been difficult for me to learn English.

But in the last few years I have realized that I know how to write in English more than what I understand listening and therefore speaking it is still very important for me, but I practice sometimes with duolingo or in some pages, but I must admit that writing blogs is something entertaining that I have been doing lately.

I have always thought that learning again is like teaching you to speak and write again, so it is something that should be taught as it is taught to young children, as there are people who learn easier that way, instead of teaching it in the conventional way, it is clear that English is a language that will be asked everywhere, so it will be extremely useful and especially if I want to travel.

In the last years of my life I have fallen in love with many cultures and places, which I want to get to know sometime in my life, almost most of them are Asian countries, but the few that are not from there are Spain and the USA, but in the USA, I only want to know San Francisco and New Orleans.

A Little Bit of Chile 

When I was 15 years old, my godmother invited me to visit her in Calama, since she had moved there with her partner, on that trip I met San Pedro de Atacama and she took me to the moon valley, it was a trip by car and then on foot to get to the top and get to see the sunset before it disappeared, The good thing that we managed to get there and see how everything took colors between lilac, purple, and blue, plus some reddish tones, it was beautiful, it was there with my mom, my godmother and her partner, it was very beautiful because we spent a few days camping in San Pedro de Atacama and knowing other sectors, we also saw flamingos, it was a very nice experience.

Another place where I went and I would like to return is Talcahuano, since I went for a study tour and I feel that I got to know nothing, the truth is that I have traveled very little around Chile, I could say that even studying geography I only know between 10 to 12 locations but only specific places and without more detail since I have not traveled through them.

 A job I would like a to do 

Although I am almost finishing my degree in Geography, I still don't know very well in which field to focus, but what I do have clear, is that in the future, not now but some years after graduating and having more experience in the world of geography, is to work in ecological planning and create ecological corridors.

(Ecological Corridors)

Ecological corridors are very important, as they help to connect fragmented habitats, connect protected areas and what I like the most is that they help to prevent wild animals from being endangered when crossing roads or other anthropic infrastructures.

There are different types of corridors, some of them are:

* Macro-corridors.

* Biological corridors

* Conservation corridors.

The ones that most attract my attention are the conservation corridors, since they help the movement of living beings, favoring the search for food and migration, thus being able to increase their numbers since they are not in so much danger from being run over.

This is of utmost importance as it also helps with the issue of global warming as wild animals seek and migrate to latitudes where living conditions are better and helps conserve biodiversity.

So I would be very proud if I got to work on it.

 My new reading 

In the last month of September I read two sagas that I liked too much, one of them is "the cruel prince" of Holly Black and the "Saga Acotar" of Sarah J. Maas.

Both stories are fantasy and romance, they are stories of something similar to elves and wars, but they are stories of enemies to lovers.

They are stories that I got to know through booktok (the book side of tiktok) I always wanted to read them, but just now that I bought a kindle I have started to read a lot more than in previous years.

The story I recommend is the "saga acotar" is a story that has five books and so far has totally captivated me, a story of love, heartbreak, war and destiny, but above all as aveces the family does not necessarily have to be the blood, but one chooses where your home is.

This saga tells the story of Feyre and Rhysand, and how they meet and heal together, as well as the possible war that is coming due to events in their world, as well as how they find their allies and future friends/brothers, unconditional family and to show themselves as one really is.
