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 ...

Blog 1: A country I would like to visit

Imagen
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. Picture of Havana Vieja. 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 e...

Blog 0: My personal relationship with the English language

Imagen
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  💚.

Blog 3: Your favorite piece of technology

Hello everyone! welcome back to my blog💜 Today I will tell you about muy favorite technological object: the digital camera. (This is a picture from a digital camera, representative of my favorite technological object 📷) This object causes me a lot curiosity from its historical dimension. Because when it was created it had great impact on art, since it was no longer necessary to make realistic paintings to portray people and their families. This allowed revolutionize the world of art, because as portraits were not necessary, artist could let their imagination run wild in new artwork such as abstract ones. (Representative picture to the world's first camera) Also on a personal level this object is important for several reasons. The first reason is because the cameras remind me of my best friend Renata. We do photoshoots once in a while. In these sessions we have a great time! I must admit that I am not very good at taking pictures and my friend laughs at that. (This is a picture ...

Blog 2: Why did you choose to study this degree?

Imagen
  Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog (Representative photo of my degree decision🙆) This story begins when I was in high school and I was not having a good time. When I was in second year of high school I was determined to study history but a bad time in my life led me to consider more degree options.  That is how I gave myself the space to see what things I liked and I went through the idea of studying dance. But then a very important professor introduced me to the discipline of Anthropology. I was interested in that discipline but I still had not decided completely. (This a photo of my bio-dance group, this practice led me to want to study dance💜) In that time of searching, I realized mi interest in the themes of Latin American identity. This topic has always been very. important because of may Chilean-Cuban background, which is why I finally decided to study Anthropology. (This is a panel I did with friends in the second year of high school on Latin American identity...
