Last night I went to the cinema and I watched the last movie of Quentin Tarantino: Once upon a time in Hollywood. The film is represented in 1969 and talks about the lives of the most famous actors of that era and the Manson family too. In reality Manson family existed, it was a group of people who murdered public figures like Sharon Tate, an actress and wife of film director Roman Polanski. The film makes a satire on crime happened with a little humor and also makes a review because sometimes in real life more unusual and brutal things happen than in fiction. In all the movies Tarantino has made he use satire as a resource to tell raw stories that most of the time have happened in real life.  I think Tarantino is a very talented director, intelligent and aware of the different realities. He always has and exciting story to tell us. If you don't know his movies you should watch Pulp fiction, Kill Bill vol. 1 and 2. Inglourious basterds and Django. Personally, I haven't seen a...

Hi, there! Today I am going to talk about a cat, a blind cat, my cat, Simon. Simon is a cat that I found in the street, specifically in December, 7th of the last year. It was sick, it had running nose, and it was malnourished. That day was very hot, and the cat was sitting down in tree. I saw it, and I though "This little cat is very sick" and I couldn't bear to see the cat like that. I picked it up without knowing how I would explain to my mom that I adopted a cat, a sick cat.  To my surprise my mom was so happy and proud of me, she gave me all her support to take care of Simon. Finally, Simon got better and now it is a stronger and healthy cat, but because of the infection it became permanently blind. Altough that was never an impediment for Simon to be a very active and a happy cat. 

When I was 18 years old I travelled to the south of Chile, specifically to the big island of Chiloé. The island has three small cities: Ancud at the north, Castro in the middle and Quellon at the south. All the cities are too beautiful, they have large and deep forests. Along the way you can find cows, horses, sheep and many others animals. The island is so green and the sea is so blue! When I travelled I went with my parents and my little sister, we ate chapalele, a typical food of that zone. When we went to the Ancud downtown my mom bought a lot of pounds of wool because she loves knitting. She mades hats and scarfs for me and my sister. Definitely I would like to come back to that beautiful and magically place because it's unique and I’m so thankfull to live in a wonderful country with diverse landscapes.

Hi, there! I'm going to tell you where I want to travel and why. Since I was 15 years old I want to visit Iceland. This is a nordic country. and is too far from here, Chile. It's very very cold but too beautiful too. It has incredible and clean landscapes. And if you have lucky sometimes you can see the northern lights at the night. The colours of the water, the mountains and the fjords are simply harmonic and wonderful.  The people are so kind, and if you love the nature you definitely have to go and conect with it! If I travel to Iceland I would like to stay at least one month to know all the beautiful places, and their flora, fauna, their food, their customs and more! I really want to work hard to travel to this wonderful country and photograph it completely.
