Blog 5 - Free Topic

 Hello everyone! In this blog, which is a free theme, I would like to tell you about the city where I grew up: San Antonio.

When I entered university here in Santiago, in 2022, it was the first time I had to move away from my home and my city.

I have lived all my life, or almost all my life, in San Antonio, a commune and coastal city in the Valparaiso Region (V region).


In San Antonio there is a large port that transports a lot of cargo on a daily basis, in fact it is the most important port in the whole country. Close to the port is the Paseo Bellamar, where you can stroll, eat churros and go boating.

But this is not the only thing that characterizes this city. From Algarrobo to Santo Domingo, including San Antonio, they are known as the Litoral de los Poetas. Because the poets Pablo Neruda, Nicanor Parra and Vicente Huidobro lived here.

"La negra Ester", the famous musical play by Roberto Parra, takes place in the streets of Puerto de San Antonio.



What I like most about this city is that being small, it is quick to go from one place to another, unlike here in the capital. Also living near the beach and the sea is great. Being able to go out for a coffee when you feel like getting out of the routine is the best thing, I think that's what I miss the most. That's why I like to travel often, to breathe the sea air and, of course, to see my family there.

Blog 1- A country I would like to visit

Hello everyone! One of my dreams is to visit the whole world. I believe that traveling is one of the things that makes you grow as a person in different aspects. One destination I would like to visit someday is Thailand. Because I have always thought that this is a magical country. It is known for its tropical beaches, luxurious royal palaces, ancient ruins and temples adorned with Buddha figures. Thailand is known as the country of smiles, due to the hospitality of its inhabitants, being one of the most welcoming of all Southeast Asia. Maya Bay is the beach most famous there country because it is where the movie starring Leonardo Dicaprio “The Beach” was filmed, many tourists started to visit it, so the authorities decided to close it in 2018. Since then it can only be seen from afar, besides that it has many other beaches that many qualify as paradise. I believe it is a very diverse country, so I thin

Blog 2- The best holidays ever

Imagen
Hello everyone!   At the moment I think the best holiday was when I went on a trip to New York in August last year. I had never been out of the country before this trip and to be honest it was a trip without much planning. My boyfriend was studying in Canada, but visiting him there was too expensive. But his brother found tickets to the U.S a bit cheaper, so we met up with my boyfriend there. Finally, my boyfriend, his brother and his girlfriend went on the trip. The trip lasted a week, and we visited many tourist attractions in the area. I walked through Central Park, crossed the Brooklyn Bridge, went to Time Square and saw the Statue of Liberty. Without a doubt, touring this city was a dream come true, I felt like I was in a movie all the time. An anecdote I have from the trip is that in the subway a man spit on us and almost wanted to hit us for no reason.At the time we were scared, now we laugh at how strange it was.

Blog 3 - My dream job

  Hello everyone! Today I'm going to talk about my dream job, although I think I still have a lot to learn about the area I'm studying, as I'm only in my second year of journalism. At the moment, there is one area that interests me more than the rest. I have always looked with interest at journalists who dedicate themselves to long investigations and then produce great reports, and although I like to write I prefer the ones that are recorded. I think this would be a dream job for me because I would like to tell people about issues that may not be so well known. I know it's a job that has to be complemented with other work, unless I work for a company that pays me just to do this. Among the skills I will have to develop, I think I should be able to work in an orderly and fast way, as this is the main thing for good research. When I was still at school I became interested in the world of communications, I participated in the creation of the school newspaper and even hoste
