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.

My Notebook

The first thing I have to say is that I'm not very good with technology in general. I don't like tablets, iPods, mp3 players, television or talking on the cellphone. The only technological things that I use to have fun are my notebook and my camera. In this homework, I'll speak about my notebook. 

I got it in the summer of 2013 because I was going to go to the university in March and I didn't have a notebook to do my homework, essays and see the class information in general. My aunt and uncle gave me the notebook as a surprise, and I was so happy. 

I use my notebook a lot of time during the day, because I'm a little obsessed with Facebook and what my friends tell me in the chat. Furthermore, in the class groups my classmates upload information all time, and generally they are important things. If I didnt' have my notebook, I think I would have more time to study and do others things I like to do, because the time that I use in Facebook could be better distributed.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Hello guys (classmates and teacher, basically), my name is Amanda Andueza, I'm 19 years old. I was born on 1st September 1994, in a little town in Belgium. I lived there only a couple of months because my parents were travelling in Europe for studies. They are chileans, so I am. We are four sisters, and we have our father and our step mother, Pablo and Emilia. She is italian and she is like our mother because she raised us since we were small. I lived my childhood in Viña del Mar, but when I was 7 amd my father married Emilia, all my family moved to Valparaíso, fortunately.
In this moment I'm living in Santiago with my sister Magdalena. We are living here since 2013, but my heart will always belong to Valparaíso. Yes, the famous Pacific Jewel: the mystic, beautiful, and, why not say, dirty city located in the hidden country named Chile.
I left Valpo to come to Santiago because I started the university carrer, Sociology in the Univerida de Chile, that is situated in the capital.
Because the crazy circumstances of life I stopped studying Law recently, and in this moment i'm studing Sociology, but, sincerely, I don't know what could happen tomorrow. I'm too undeciced and I like a lot of things, like literature, architecture, journalism, for example.
When I'm not at the university or studying at home, i'm working in a café that is located next to my appartament. It's really nice, because it is a calm and relaxed job. The best thing is that I don't have to take a bus or the unconfortable tube to get to work.
