Music is definitely very good at making one remember moments. In my case, listening to Axe or songs from the Mekano youth program, takes me back to my childhood immediately, being with my friends from school learning the choreography and lyrics of the songs. I don't remember which is my first childhood memory, but I do have some favorites. For example, when we would go to the beach with my family during the winter or summer vacations. We would always stay in the same beach cottage located in El Tabo and it was really fun. My favorite activity as a child was swimming. I was a swimmer in the children's team of the Universidad de Chile from 8 to 16 years old. I trained from Monday to Saturday, and even at some point I thought that as an adult I would be a professional swimmer haha In general, my childhood was good. Maybe because of swimming, I missed out on trying other activities, but it was all worth it, as I had a lot of good times and only have good memories. Finally, I share ...

Throughout my life, I think I have had many unforgettable vacations. However, one that I remember very fondly was in September last year, specifically the National Holidays. With 5 friends, we went to Hornopirén, staying in a house that belongs to the parents of one of my friends. The plan was to go for five days, but we were having so much fun that we finally stayed for 10 days.  During the days we were there we did many fun things, like going to the river, walking around town, trekking in the National Park on a rainy day, going to the hot springs at 2 am, going to the fonda, cooking all together, eating empanadas, drinking earthquake, beer, wine and many other things haha I consider it one of the most unforgettable trips since I tend to plan a lot of the things I do, but this time it was different. It was a very adventurous, improvised and spontaneous trip since we decided to go just two days before. Here is a photo of the place, captured by one of my friends.

Someday, I would like to travel to the United Kingdom. For several years now I have been dreaming of getting to know Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and of course England. I don't know much about the history of the country or anything like that.  It even surprises me that there is still a monarchy there. However, I have felt linked to it through music since many of my favorite bands come from there, such as The Cure, Suede, Pulp, Oasis, Blur, Joy Division and others. In addition, I have also felt attracted to the United Kingdom as it has been the setting for many films or series that I like (special mention for Peaky Blinders haha). If I were to go there, I would like to see its incredible natural landscapes, as well as its cities, especially London, Liverpool or Manchester.  I don't know if I would live there, I think I should visit it first (and improve my English). However, many times I dream of studying a master's degree in England, and although it looks difficult, dr...
