''Chocolate? cho co la teeee''

As I’m studying architecture, my future job should be an architect, but the truth is my dream job is other: chocolate taster.

Few years ago, when people started to ask me ‘how would you earn a living in the future?’  The first thing I though was on chocolate. I have loved chocolate since ever, so I imagined there must be people in charge of taste the chocolate to approve it sale. From that moment I started to look on the internet about this job and if it was possible to work on that and I really wanted to do it, just imagine eat all the chocolate you want and get paid for that!

Well, after discovering the nonexistence of that job, and the only thing related whit that was a wine taster, and I didn’t want to spend all my life drunk (by that way), I decided look for other works.

For my mind went so many works… like make dubbing at the movies (I used to practice like a stupid in my home the character voices every day), later I was obsessed with criminal minds, a TV show and wanted to be like the forensic investigators that appeared on that. When I realized that seeing blood makes me sick, I dismissed the idea. I wanted to be like Meryl Streep for a while too and be an incredible actress.

After those crazy ideas, I sadly remembered that you only live with money, which I couldn’t get with those options for work, so I put my feet on the ground and I decided to be an architect, thinking that it would be related with art or something. I was wrong about that haha, but I still like it.

So I just hope finish the career and travel around the world visiting the great architectural works while improving my knowledge increasingly… make so many trips, that’s all I want… and well, taste chocolate from every country I visit would not be bad haha.  

A place to remember

I really like going to restaurants with my family, and even though we don’t usually go too much, this one is my favorite by far. Onces Bellavista it’s located in the coastline of Puerto Varas where you can contemplate the great Osorno Volcano while having an special German 'once'.

This place is so magic, because when you pass along the road, you can’t imagine the awesome landscape you could see from there. So from that perspective it’s a sexy place, because of the surprises that gives you once you enter there.

The restaurant it’s situated about 40 meters inside from the entry, so the process to get there its different from others restaurants, starting with the presence of llamas, sheeps and deers playing in the grass, inviting you to play with them. When you’re walking up the hill you can’t see the landscape, but once you get to the restaurant, you can see the volcano above the sea, which is one of the best things that has ‘Onces Bellavista’, apart from the meal, which is fallen from the sky.

There are some activities for kids too, like children’s slide and swings and a mini canopy, which was my favorite when I was a child.

So, because of everything I told, I definitely recommend you go there, you’ll not regret it! 

'Woh! we're going to Brazil'

On December of 2012, when I was 15, my classmates and I made the traditional ‘’study tour’’ that makes all the schools at the secondary, we went to Brazil, Balneario Camboriú for one week, which was the typical destination of most of them.

The first impression that I got was the moisture that was in the air, totally different from Chile!

We arrived at 4 am, so the first thing we did was sleep. We walked around the place, everything seemed to be pacific, but when night came, madness came over us in the foam party, it was amazing.

The following days we had fun on a water park full of water slides, got into a mud adventure and visited Unipraias Park, where we got in the ZipRider and felt the velocity and the wind in my face 240 high meters, which was amazing because we were above a great jungle.

We took a trip on a ‘pirate ship’ too and one of the greatest thing was that you could jump over the sea if you wanted it! I say ‘one of the greatest thing’, because the best was dancing while drinking lots of different cocktails while staring at the horizon. Obviously we went to Beto Carrero Park and to the Lightning Chris too where we saw the fabulous city night.

I had too much fun all of those days, but the best for me, by far, was the last one, because it was my birthday, and my mom had given some money to my best friend and she, with the rest of my friends, made me a surprise celebration in the beach, and it was so beautiful that I couldn’t believe what I was looking.

Definitely, this trip was the best Holidays I’ve ever had. 

My dream country

Ireland has been my dream country since I was 12 years old, when I was in 7^th grade, because we were studying on History class some countries which were involved in the Second War, and although Ireland’s role wasn’t so big like the other nations, I had to talk about it.

Beside of it influence on war, I started to investigate about the president, how the laws are, how Irish live, their beliefs and more things that slowly started to catch my attention, and when I saw pictures, I immediately fell in love with the landscape, all the green that appeared and the beauty of the place. I was fascinated, so I look up for all the credence that they have, and the things I found made me want to push a button and appear at that moment in Ireland.

About the celebrations and credence, Halloween and Saint Patrick’s day for example, are the most famous national festivals which last almost three days and gathers thousand people. The Leprechauns (trolls) are also part of this and the country’s mythology. The legend says that if you catch one of them, you’ll get luck.

Beside this, Celtic heritage influences music and food. Those things are very important for Irish too, just what I mostly like in life. But If I travel one day, it would be just for a month, because I think I couldn’t support the weather for a long time.

And when I do, I’ll be so happy…
