Today I would like to share to you all my favourite place of all the country! Alerce Andino is definitively the place that I would get back over and over again. It is ubicated in Los Lagos region, at the south of Chile. I started to go here from like 5 years ago with my family. Like family we have been always going to places with a lot of nature, and that has influenced on me with the choose of my actual career.  One of the things I did here was swim in the river, is a very cold experience! I remember the first time I did it, my skin turned red of the coldness but it was a great thing to do. Also, watch birds here is a whole experience too. In the forest you can do a lot of things and that takes you a lot of memories. For me going to this place is always a thing that I will be grateful for all my life. If someday you have the opportunity for go to this place, do it! This place is one of the most beautiful things that the country has. Im going to leave some pictures that I toke this...

Well, today I am going to talk a little bit about my little brother, Máximo. He is 9 years younger than me, but that doesn´t quit the fact that we are good brothers. He is a very happy kid, creative, likes to sing, draw, read and play with his pokemon cards. Right now he is in seven grade. One of the thing that my little brother likes to do the most is play and cuddle with our dogs,and he always put our dogs with him to watch tv together. It is a funny thing to see. With Máximo an activity that we do together is make puzzles about animals, and sometimes we cook together. 

English is the only forgein language that I know, and if I know how to read, speak and listen to english is because I started learning from little in my old school. I really like read in english and listen on this languaje, but I have to say that the most dificult thing for me is talk and sometimes listen to it. I know how important is english actually so for keep my level of understanding I trend to watch The Office without subtitles and read some academic articles of geomorphology and urbanism.  On the english classes I like to do the activities like create questions and talk with my partner. I have to say it, it is very fun for me talk in english on class! Anyways, I think knowing and be fluent in english is a plus for the future, it gives to me a possibility to know another realities outside the country. About the culture, food is the aspect that is interesing for me! It is weird from my perspective the english breakfast and I would like to taste it some day!

 One of the jobs that get my atenttion lately, is working on a library or in a coffee. I like that kind of  jobs because all the places that I see in the city giving those services, give me a lot of peace and it looks like is a good place for work. Adding to these reasons, the works fits perfectly with my personality and I have been always like to make some hot and cold drinks specially in my house, read and help people on their choices and give them a good experience. I´ve never had worked before, but actually I am in search for a part time job because I would like to go to vacations with my friends. Also, I would like to start having my own money and buy gifts for all my loved ones! Like my mom, dad, dogs, etc. One of the things I need to learn for this work is some barista formation and free time. Anyways, I will be very happy if I get one of these two works! I have been looking on a vacant for start to work this summer or in december, I would be very grateful if I get a wo...

I recomend the book called "Aves de Chile", writen by Alvaro Jaramillo. I read this book the last year in august, when I got the book  from my parents. This book increase my interest for native birds and it is a very atractive book because of it ilustraition of more of 400 birds that are present on the national territory. I discovered this book when I was starting birdwatching, in first I got in PDF format by an instagram page. I really like this book because it has a very usefull information about geographic distribution of birds, specific characterists of them like their sound, colours, diet, etc.    Aves de Chile front page chucao (Scelorchilus rubecula) Is important to say that the bird of the front page of the book is a Chucao, one of the best know brids of Chile. Hope you try on this book if you mind to start birdwatching in our country :).

 My actual cultural radar has the following items, hope you like it! Books Recently I been reading a lot of books that give me information of the natural elements of Chile, specially about birds and native flora. One of those books are "Flora y Fauna de Chile: Guía de Identificación" by Sharon Chester. It shows a lot of caracteristics of flora and fauna of this country, and it incluides maps and guides of national parks that you can visit here. For me, it is a very completely guide for those who wants to learn more about native flora and animals.  Film Lately I havent saw any film yet, but one that I remerber and I like it very much was Forest Gump. It is a movie based on a book and it shows you a very interesing history with lot of emotions, historical periods and more.  Artist Recently I have been listening to Los Bunkers and New Jeans, the first one a chilean rock band and the second one a kpop band. I really liike their songs and I recomend you to listen them.
