Today’s post is about my future job. For those who don't know, I would like to work as a film editor, I imagine myself assembling all kinds of movies, and working with the director to create the perfect narrative for it.  As you can imagine, a film editor usually works in a desk with his computer, so it will be an indoors job, but I don’t see myself working in a dark room at night, I think I work better in the day. The film editor works at his own space, so it’s not a “travel” job, and if it was I wouldn’t like to travel for work, I’m a homemade person.  Besides, film editing is an independent job, so I wouldn’t have an established salary, I would be paid for a specific project/movie, and I think it would be the exact amount to live a normal life. Nowadays, I’m studying Film and Television at ICEI. This year we are taking the courses for our majors, and I took one from Documentary Editing and Post-Production of Image. I took those classes to increase my knowledge in editing, a...

On today’s blog I’m going to talk about vermicomposting. It’s been a while since I started learning about how to have a more sustainable lifestyle. I changed many things in my daily life, and one of them was to have a vermicompost in my house.  The first thing I wanted was to reduce the amount of garbage in my house. Some people calculate that 50% of our garbage is food waste, so having a compost or vermicompost reduces a lot. At first I thought about having a compost bin in my yard, but my mom (like most of the people) believed that compost would include a lot of non-friendly animals to our house, like rats or flies. And the other thing was she believed that it would have a bad smell. I knew that those are myths, cause with a good manage that can't happen. In the search of trying to convince my mother, I found about vermicomposting. The amazing thing about vermicomposting is that you can have it even at an apartment!  Vermicomposting is basically a bin with “floors” and worms...

Today I'm going to talk about growing your own food. A few years ago I moved from the city to a rural zone, outside Santiago. I think that was the beginning of my admiration for nature.  At that time we arrived in an empty space, we started to plant a lot of native and frutal trees. At first I thought that was going to be an eternal wait to finally see those trees grown or see a fruit, and actually eat from them! The time passed, and I didn't realize when those trees grew that fast. It’s incredible how planting a tree, giving it time and care, can give us so much. We harvest apples, plums, cherries, apricots, peachs, pears, figs, quince even walnuts and almonds!  That wasn’t all because we built our own orchard, so we also started to harvest lettuce, chard, tomatoes, basil, corn, beans, broccoli, cabbage and so on. All of that was mainly made by my grandfather, I always looked at him and tried to help the most I can. But this particular year, cause the quarantine my grandfathe...

My holidays are always improvised, one of the best I have had was the first time I went to Pichilemu with my parents. One summer night, my dad was looking at Booking.com and he saw a beautiful cabin in Pichilemu on top of a small hill with an incredible view of the sea. He booked and the following week we went to Pichilemu! Pichilemu is a coast city, located in the O’Higgins region, about three hours from Santiago. It’s a peaceful city, with beautiful beaches. It’s very known for being “the capital of surf” because there you can find the best waves. Also, Pichilemu in mapudungun means “small forest”. We went on February, 2018 expecting to be there for two weeks. We invited my uncle, who went for one week to be with us, and then we invited the family of one of my best friends for another week. We had an amazing time so we decided to stay for another week!! We loved everything there, the weather was perfect for us, because it wasn’t too hot to be summer and the beaches are so peaceful to...

One day I was watching City Tour On Tour with my mom. They were showing the architecture of Croatia, and we fell in love with the landscape of that country. That’s the country I would like to visit and talk about in this post! Croatia is a small country, it’s beside the Adriatic ocean and has thousands of islands to explore. It’s a country with a lot of history, and it’s really well conserved for the years that have passed. You can see the trace of the centuries through his walls and palaces. After the Balkan War, the government put an effort to incentivize tourism in the country, because Croatia was seen as an insecure country for tourism. Nowadays, Croatia is one of the countries with most visitors in the Mediterranean. One of his main attractions, besides the historical and cultural part, is that some places of Croatia were the locations of the series Game of Thrones.  I would like to visit Dubrovnik, walk in those streets, and see the Adriatic Ocean. So I can learn more deeply ...
