Blogging experience

Hi bloggers:

This is one of my last posts, this time I'll tell you about my blogging experience.
So, since  we start I was so ashamed to write in English because I use to think that mistakes are embarrassing, but writing my posts I realize that even when we are wrong we are learning and this is such a good tool. I had so much fun with each topic, I learn many new words and now I feel more comfortable about new languages. Actually I like to learn Portuguese now.

I think that speak English it’s an important issue in our field, even more if you like to work abroad. Because of that I started to teach myself English since my lasts years at school and I was lucky to had a great teacher, so this year I was so nervous about English class and the result was that I forgot to set the alarm so I fell asleep and arrived at university late.

Finally, we never talk about why we are interested in learning English, I mean, why is important for us, what we expect and when we realize that it’s an important thing. I like to do it.

That’s all,

Read you next time!

My favorite subject

Hi bloggers!

Today I’ll tell you about my semester.

To start I should say that last year was very tiring for me because I must travel about 5 hours daily between university and home. So, this year I need to reduce my course load and because of that I enjoyed all my subjects (they are 4). But my favorite one was “Products and services of forests” because in this subject I learn what kind of things can give us forests but also, how forest influence people’s life. The teacher makes me realize that we use forests daily in many ways even when we live in cities, they can give us food, clean up our air, timber, recreation areas and sense of belonging.  

In this subject, we have theoretical classes most part of the time but practical activities too in the university facilities. Its contents are divided in two parts, the first one is about forest’s products and was the easiest. The second one is about forest’s services by Dr. Claudia Cerda, who teach us to see the global image in environmental issues and I like that.

That's all

I hope that next semester will be easy to us...

An expert of Forestry

Hi bloggers: Today I'll tell you about a person that I admire.

Bernardo Zentilli studied Forestry from 1954 to 1959 at "Universidad de Chile" when only timber production was important. A few years later he started to work in national parks in the south of Chile but he had to leave our country. 

Since 1975 he started to work in protected wildlife areas in places like Switzerland, Rome, Kenia, Belize and Paraguay; also, he contributed in projects of CONAF, FAO, ONU, UICN and PNUMA being an expert of his area. Then 27 years later he came back to Chile and became in president of CODEFF. For 5 years, he represented Chile around the world in many conferences about environment.

Last year, we meet in Santiago and he told me about his life. It was a motivating meeting because he loves his job and always try to do the best. Also, he told me about biodiversity and how he has been trying to protect it his all life. I think he was a visionary for his time.

That’s all,

I hope you like it… 

MY IDEAL VACATIONS

Hi bloggers!

Some posts ago I wrote about my last vacations but today my topic will be what is an ideal vacation to me.

At present, if vacations were just a few months before I would like to celebrate my birthday in a beach, could be in Chile or not but it's like a dream because I don't used to make big parties. I prefer small celebrations with my family and close friends.

Also, in my life, I hadn’t much vacations so every new place is an adventure to me. But my favorite places are beach surrounded of forests like “Canelillo” beach. Because of this, I think my ideal vacation could be camping about a week in a forest near to a beach so in afternoons I could walk through the seashore without shoes and feel the sand and water. An important part of my travels are my family, my boyfriend and my cat because when I travel alone I miss them all the time or I feel sad. I think everything is better if you are sharing it with a person that you love.

That’s all,

I hope you like it J

A PHOTOGRAPH I LIKE

Hi bloggers!
Today I`m going to show you one of my favourite photographs:

This picture shows the beauty of the south of Chile, actually it was taken in Frutillar by myself, that's the reason why you`re looking at Osorno volcano. Besides, this photograph means a lot for me because it has my best memories with the best company.
 About 2 years  ago, when I finally finished school, my boyfriend invited me on vacations with him and his family. I accepted because it would be my first vacations out of Santiago.
We spend almost 1 weeks going all over Chiloé, it's a charming place. Then we traveled to Puerto Montt but it wasn't what we expect and we only had lunch and left that place. But when we arrived in Frutillar, it was a magical thing because the lake was huge, Osorno volcano was snowed and you can find chocolate everywhere. We spend 4 days in that place and every afternoon we ate cheseecake, ice cream or kuchen at the shore of the lake.
Since that moment Frutillar became my favourite place.

That's all, see you soon.

MY VACATIONS

 Last summer I decided to go on an adventure; my boyfriend and my friends shared with me this travel to "Los Lagos" region.

We started in Frutillar, where we finished the Summer Practice of Forestry, but I´m only going to tell you about my favourite places in this trip.
So we moved to east to a place called "Ensenada": it was a camping site in the middle of a myrtle forest, full of birds and cats, I was amazed.
Then we visited a place called "Toboganes de la Junta" in Cochamó, it took us 6 hours to reached the top, but it was the most beautiful place that I ever seen because it was a natural "toboggan" made of stone with turquoise water and surrounded of native forest.
Finally, near to "Chaitén" we went to a place called " The Yellow" in Pumalin park, where we reached a huge glacier after 4 hours of trekking. I hadn´t seen anything like that before.

That´s all,
I hope you like it...

My favourite piece of technology

Hi bloggers:
 Today I`m gonna tell you about my favourite technological object: Apple TV.
This little thing can do almost anything, you connect this to the smart TV and you can listen to music on ITunes, watch videos on Youtube, see films on Netflix. But it only works with internet (WiFi). So, Internet is an essential thing too because the Apple TV is just a tool for accessing to many functions.
My dad brought us this thing to home about 3 years ago, we use it a lot because  I watch a movie with my sisters or my brother listen his electronic music almost everyday.
Personally, I dont like technology that much because I used to think that technology took families apart, but now I have to admit that this thing makes me change my mind and I`m learning more and more about what I can do with the technology by my side.

Nowadays, my family and I watch a movie almost every weekend sharing with tasty food and that brings us a little time of hapiness together.
My life without an Apple TV would be a little different because many family moments could be lost, but I probably spend my free time in a different way like reading books for example.

That`s all,
make you questions...
