Blog 2: The best holidays ever

Imagen
The best vacation of my life was in December 2019 in Mexico City with my mom. This vacation was very special for me, because it lasted two weeks and allowed me to get to know the giant capital of Mexico. Picture of me at Frida Kahlo's house💙 On this trip I got to know places like "El Zócalo", which corresponds to the center of Mexico City, Teotihuacan, the Frida Kahlo and Leon Trotsky museums located in Coyoacan, the Museum of Fine Arts and Puebla.  Picture of Teotihuacan  I have many reasons to say that this has been the best vacation of my life, but one of the strongest reasons is that before embarking on the trip I had recently graduated from school and had a dream of studying Anthropology. I knew that Mexico was a country where great anthropological studies were being developed, so I was very excited to get to know this country. Also when I arrived in Mexico City I was fascinated with the accent of the people, their culture and food, although after a week I got sick

A country I would like to visit again is Cuba, because most of my family and friends live there and I miss them, and also because I feel it is a magical place because of the social atmosphere, since people are very talkative and educated about many topics, so it is very common to stay talking to anyone while drinking coffee and mojito.

My personal relationship with the English language has varied over time. As a child, I loved learning words in this language and playing at being fluent, but  time passed and I changed schools many times and that left me with a void in the process of learning the language. However, when I reached the pre-teen stage I became obsessed with a musical group called One Direction, which revived my motivation with the English language so I could understand their songs.  But over time this obsession ended and I was unable to acquire a solid foundation in the English language, which often leads to frustration.  My personal goal now is to learn the language in the most friendly way possible, so that I won’t longer experience learning English as an obligation or a frustration, but as a process to be able to communicate and learn more about other cultures  💚.
