Blog 1: A country I would like to visit

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.

Cuba is an island located in Central America and it's known to be very   controversial for being politically organized by a communist regime. This fact makes it very interesting to know Cuba, because it allows to understand that capitalism is not the only option in a economic system. 

I would like to visit Cuba for a longer period of time to get to know of the cubans people and also to visit different cities that call my attention, such as Santiago de Cuba, Pinar del Rio or Nueva Gerona. I must confess that one of my life dreams is to one day work at the University of Havana as an anthropologist and to eat black beans and coffee by the Malecon every day 💜.

Blog 5: My Future Job

Imagen
Throughout my life I have been interested in multiple professions, as a child I wanted to be famous and a singer, in fact I wrote a song of which I still remember the lyrics and melody. When I turned 10 years old, I wanted to study graphic design and occupational therapy, for the sole reason that the names sounded interesting. When I reached pre-adolescence I began to realize my greatest interest in the area of arts and humanities, and since then I knew that I would not have a conventional job.  Thus, as I grew older I realized that I really enjoyed writing and working with people, so in the last years I imagined myself working outdoors getting to know different social groups, but also writing about them or any topic I found interesting. On the other hand, something that has always been clear to me is that I would like to be able to travel with my job, since I love to get to know new places, cultures and people. It is precisely for this reason, and many others, that I decided to study

A Meal or Food I Really Like: Congrí cubano.

Today I am going to tell you about a meal that I enjoy very much. Before I tell you about this meal, I must tell you that it was very difficult to choose just one meal, because I really enjoy tasty and homemade food. The food I am going to tell you about is called Congrí and it is a meal that is served for lunch and dinner in Cuba. Congrí is a preparation of rice and black beans mixed together, which are accompanied by a sofrito made with paprika (hopefully red to make a contrast of flavors and colors), garlic and the traditional condiment of Cuban food: whole cumin.  Picture of Congrí cubano. To prepare the Congrí, the black beans must be soaked the night before preparing the meal. Once the beans are soaked, the sofrito is made with the mentioned ingredients and on that base the rice is poured into the pot. To cook the rice, pour the water used to soak the black beans and wait until the rice has a nice texture to eat it.  Once this last step is done, the Congrí is ready to enjoy! I li

Blog 3: The Cringe

Imagen
Looking back in my life I feel like I've had several events where I've felt a lot of cringe, but for some reason when I'm asked about these moments I never remember.  The first memory that I feel super embarrassed about happened when I was 4 or 5 years old. In those remote times I had aspirations of being a famous singer and my biggest idol was Hannah Montana, so I always practiced her songs feeling like a goddess of Olympus. One day after much practice, I decided to show this talent to my dad and his wife by singing a Hannah Montana song. At that moment I felt fabulous singing and my dad reacted by asking his wife, "Did you turn on the radio, because I thought I heard a professional singer?", that question only made me more confident in my future career as an artist. However, looking back I remember that I never sang well or had a good command of English, so I think my performance may not have been as good as my dad claimed and that he may have made a white lie t
