  I must be honest, I think is so difficult to know whether the pandemic is an opportunity to improve society or not, because it doesn’t imply just are actions, also the measures taken by the government and world leaders. And as I couldn’t decide I will keep it to a more personal level. The lockdown has had a major impact in my life. My levels of anxiety during the quarantine had increase a lot. As everyone else I was worry sick, I found myself away from my family and suddenly we were extremely vulnerable to this virus and all the social and economic consequences of the pandemic. At first, I tried to save as much money as I could and follow morning routines that keep myself together. And it worked for a while, but after a few months I was exhausted, anxious and full of responsibilities that I could not fulfil. So, when the total quarantine in Santiago started a month ago, I decided to take things more slowly and I rediscovered hobbies and other things that make me feel more opt...

My best holidays so far has been when I traveled with 4 of my friends to Montevideo and Buenos Aires in 2019. We went for a little more than two weeks and we didn´t get to see everything we had planned, but I guess it always happens, don´t you think? My favorite part of the whole trip was in Montevideo, I have a bunch of good memories of that particular day. We got up early and took a bus to the viewpoint on the Intendencia. I love heights so it was very exciting to go up in a glass elevator to the 22nd floor. We enjoied the view of the city, took a lot of pictures and went down to the Art History Museum. After a lunch break we walked in the rain (to almost 30 deegres) to the Museum of Modern Art, where we found many interesting and interactive exhibits. We ended the day at the Carnaval Museum in Ciudad Vieja listening to the Murga La Trasnochada on stage. They were so good!! I wasn´t able to get those songs out of my head for weeks!

Last summer one of my closest friends from school went to visit her relatives in Portugal. Since then I wanted to visit it too. And who knows? Maybe live there for a couple of months to enjoy the calm of the beaches in winter and do hiking in some of their national parks. But first things first, Portugal is one of the 3 countries in the Iberian Peninsula and although it is not very big it has 943 km of coast (in the continental territory), beautiful vineyards and fascinating cities like Oporto, Evora and Lisbon. When I think of it, I imagine myself getting off the plane in Lisbon, the capital, ready to walk for hours and hours through its narrow alleys from the Tajo river to the viewpoints on the hills. I would also like to take a ride on the tram Eléctrico that goes around the city and reminds me to troles in Valparaíso, my hometown. Another place I wouldn´t miss for anything in the world is the Palácio Nacional da Pena in Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of the European cont...
