It is difficult for me to think about the day this pandemic ends, it really seems like a lie. Unfortunately it has hit me and my family very hard, we have been through many things, in  any case we continue to resist day by day. My two grandparents were infected with covid-19, all because my grandfather continued to work as a guard in a health facility, they were hospitalized for more than two weeks, my grandmother managed to get out of that sad place, and my grandfather became one more for the death toll.   Personally, I do not think that this helps us much to change as a society, I feel a lot of resentment with the government and it is a neoliberal system, for them people are only merchandise. Some people do not take the weight of what is really happening. These months in quarantine have been of a lot of self-healing and learning, that is the best I can rescue, I learned to be with myself, to value the present and the people that I have around me. At first, the study was...

  Every summer with my mother and my brother we go on vacation to Chile, it is like a ritual. But without a doubt one of the most magical and beautiful places was the "Cochamó" slides, belonging to the province of Llanquihue, Los Lagos Region. We were in 2019, in the summer, before all this started. With my family we had to do a long walk to get there, it was about 8 hours, we had to cross bridges, rivers and paths full of rocks and trees in the area.  When we arrived at the place we camped and shared with many tourists and residents of the place. We bathed in the natural stone slides and ate while enjoying the scenery. It is the best place since I went with the most important people in my life, my mother and my brother, also because it was a challenge to be able to get there.  We had to buy equipment to be prepared, as it is very cold and humid. It was definitely one of the best experiences. I highly recommend this beautiful place, I went to the "La Junta" campsit...

I would like to visit Norway for many reasons. Some of them are its culture, landscapes, museums, history and social development. Norway is a Scandinavian country with great conservation of the environment and low pollution, it also has a very good health and educational system. Oslo is its capital and the Norwegian form of government is based on an institutional monarchy (I don't like that very much). What I would most like to do there is visit the Viking ship museum in Oslo, where preserved Viking ships from the 9th century are exhibited. Or go to Bergen for its tourist architecture and cruises to the incredible Sogn fjord. Although Norway is not one of my favorite Nordic countries, I would like to work in the social area and even live there for a few years. I think it would be an incredible experience, it is considered one of the countries with the highest quality of life, although that must be verified.
