Travelling in the south of Chile


On February of 2014, on midsummer, I travelled to Los Lagos Region with my boyfriend. It was the first time I did what in Spanish is called “mochilear”, and it was the best experience of my life.

From Curicó we went “haciendo dedo” to Chiloe, and there (in Castro) were my cousin and a friend waiting us. We continue travelling together of curse.

The four went to Castro and Dalcahue, where lives an university friend, “El Chelo”, who clearly knew all Chiloe, so showed us everything of this wonderful island…

Ah! I’m forgetting we met a guy on the road. We became friends, so we continued traveling with him. Hahahaha, after the trip we never saw again.

After 2 weeks we go to Cole-Cole, the most beautiful beach I ever saw!!!!  We arrived there after walking six hours into a wood, with backpacks, bags, the tend and a lot of food, because there is no shop or houses. But It was worth!!

After Cole-Cole we separated from the group and met some university’s friends, but they were very tired of "mochilear".


Because that, they return Santiago and I, my boufriend and another friend continue our trip together. We finally went to Valdivia, and after few days we return to aur homes “a dedo” again. 
¡Hasta la vista!

My job



In this occasion I’m going to talk about my job. 
Since I was 16 I have always worked in something: in the supermarket, in events, cutting tickets in concerts, making surveys, etc.
Now, I'm working in a little café/ restaurant/ shop located in the corner of Matta and Vicuña Mackena. It's a part-time job and I only have to go two days a week: Wednesdays and Fridays. On Wednesdays I arrive at 2.30 p.m. and I finished at 8 p.m. On Fridays I arrive at 8 o' clock and I can go at 2.30 p.m. It's very bad this schedule because I have to be in the university on Fridays at the same time that I finish working.

I like my job because it is a good thing to get money without working a lot and spending too many hours. The bad thing is that they pay me very bad, but because of the flexibility and the fact that is a stable job, I'm still working there. Moreover, the café is located in the same building I live, so I don’t have to take de bus or the tube.
