Blog Post 2: The best holidays ever


My best holiday ever was a trip that I made in December 2019, when I was 14 years old, to the Chilean Patagonia.

The trip was organized by my history teacher because it was a study trip. We travel to learn principally about the native people and the geography. It may sound boring, but it wasn´t.

I made my friend group on that holiday with people of my generation who were in class B (I was in class C). The people with whom I traveled were only high school students and three teachers.

We toured for seven days. The first place was Punta Arenas, where we knew the cementary and the main square, Plaza Muñoz Gamero. The main square has a statue that has a legend that says that those who kiss the foot of the statue will return to Punta Arenas.

We visited a lot of places, like Tierra del Fuego, Puerto Natales, and Torres del Paine.

I think that the best part was knowing the Fuerte Bulnes, not only for its relevant history, but also because from this place you can see Dawson Island, a center of torture in the dictatorship. I didn´t know this place before this trip, and its sad to think that in the beautifull place like that, it could be happens horrible things.

Blog post 1: A country that I would like to visit

Australia is a fascinating country. I'd like to go because it has an important university that I love, the University of Sidney. This university has a magnificent classic building and is one of the best higher education institution in communication courses. This country has a lot of poisonous animals and is the sixth-biggest country in the world. Its capital isn´t Sidney or Melbourn, it's Canberra, located south of Sidney. If I travel to this land, I will tour the country and share video blogs with my friends. Maybe I will travel to the neighboring countries, like Indonesia, East Timor, Papua New Guinea, and New Zealand. Obviously, I try the local food and learn the traditions. Principally, I want to study there for one semester, but it´s probably that I stay to live there. It will depend on whether I find a stable job. I love the idea of making friends from different continents, so it would be an excellent opportunity to do that.

Blog Post 4: Time travel to the past or future

Since I was a kid, I have dreamed of traveling to the future. I used to watch TV programs about that theme, like Futurama or The Jetsons, and it made me ask me regarding the technological advances in the future. Living at the same time while computers, smartphones, artificial intelligence, or virtual reality are being develop, It´s almost like living in the future. I really enjoy watching the new features of technological companies like Apple, Samsung, or Huawei. This last is my favorite. I know the future can be bad because pollution is (and will be) a serious problem. The ONU proposed the 2030 agenda for sustentability, so I believe that it could be a first step in the right direction. I often think that technology is similar to a double-edged sword because it could make your life easier, but it pollutes too much. Ironically, to solve this problem, we have to develop more technology, but with renewable energy. I am a person who needs to be in different spaces constantly, so I don´...
