My future job: an eco-gay-catlover-multitasking-journalist

Imagen
 I am in my last year of college, so without a doubt, work is a big part of my day-to-day life. Since my first year of college I have worked on various projects with cool teams. Now, looking back, I don't know how it happened. I only know that because I came from another region I was always meeting people and talking about my interests, so many people have contacted me afterwards offering work and we have been able to do interesting things that have left me with a great experience. I honestly don't see myself sitting in an office. I hate it. Thanks to these years of external projects, my own and the university, the seed of the freelancer has been installed in me. I consider that it would be the way of working that would make me very happy for the stimulating: to devote myself to a determined project with a determined date of term to later initiate another one, it is very entertaining from the creative thing, the change of spaces, the challenges, and the people who know. However...

Free topic: Tarot

Imagen
 In this blog I would like to talk to you about something I have been doing since I was 12 years old: reading tarot. I do not remember when my interest in cards began, but my first memories as a child, I was already drawing them on gridded notebook pages. It wasn't until I was 12 that I collected money and bought my first deck of cards. It was the Egyptian tarot. I quickly learned how to do readings, and the fact that my mother's friends found it very entertaining and asked for sessions also helped the process. However, it was not until I arrived at the university that I opened my readings to anyone on the street, without charge. For me, cards are not a way to read the future, but a way to do conscious meditation. Through the question a person arrives with, we identify a topic that is occupying a large part of their thoughts. Through the session, card by card, I pose possible futures.With this we discuss which emotions are aroused and we arrive at the root of this story in some...

Free topic: juggle flags

Imagen
  As the topic of this blog is free, i want to tell you something about i have been learning since one year: juggle flags. This consists of using hands and wrist to create figures with two weighted flags in one corner of different colors (one by hand). In my experience it is too hard to teach, but learning is so easy cause the memory of the body helps to do the tricks and transmit the illusion. Some of my favourite tricks that i´ve learned are the eight, what is when you spin the flags in the shape of infinity through your body, and the flat skirt, what is when the flags rotate in opposite directions and levels. Other people call it like “the universe” cause using the same technique you can spin the flags in circles in front and behind your body, showing an effect like a galaxy. This practice for me it's a whole world cause you can always create new tricks. And share it with any other person on the street or wherever. It's like a big community cause if u see someone doing juggl...

The best concert: Ruidosa fest

Imagen
  One of the best concerts I ever been was the first version of “Ruidosa fest”. I had just come to live in Santiago from the south. It was March 2016, and my best friend (who had already been in the city for a year) invited me. I was so excited cause, indeed, all things was new for me. The event was at the house of culture of Providencia. The number of people was low in comparison of the others future versions, but enough to create a good climate of comfortable enjoyment.  Planta Carnivora performed at Ruidosa fest Various women feminist artist performed at the concert, but two of my favourites were Planta Carnívora y Marineros. The first artist is known by her irreverent rap about topics like pop culture, young situations y vaginas. One of the best moments of her show was the part of “Jagged vagina”. She fell to the ground and singing: “My jagged vagina will infect you. My piranha teeth are not normal. You see, it will hurt, i will it you. And I put your penis in your anal re...

A country I would like to visit: Norway

Imagen
Well, the country that I would like to go is Norway. Since I was ten, I saw some videos of travelers on Youtube about beautiful natural places. I lived as a child in the south of Chile, in a small town named Los Muermos. It is surrounded by forests and lakes, yes I know, very similar to Norway, but theres one big difference: the aurora borealis. Seeing the northern lights (as they are also known) even one night, would be one of the best things in my life. About Norway I know many things thanks to the internet too. The actual culture and the viking history are very interesting. Also, as journalist, I think that their choises about social problems are an example to the world in how built a country with citizen participation. Well, I still can´t find someone from ther to talk about this things in a local perspective, am shure theres some very darks points in that image that country promotes.  However, about nature and conservation, the facts speak for themselves. At least in numbers l...
