Post 2: My life soundtrack

If someone asks me what my life soundtrack would sound like, my first answer will be "a mess". I`ve always been the type of person who listens to a great variety of music, but I do reconize some songs or bands that marked my life in different ways.

Starting off with Demi Lovato, a famous pop singer whose songs were definitely a big part of my childhood. I grew up religiously watching the movie "Camp Rock", which was starred by none other than Demi. The soundtrack was entirely in english, and the song "This is me" was the first song that I learned in another language. 




Moving on to my adolescense, there was a period of time where I was in love with the classic songs from the group "Maroon 5". Specifically, I felt a personal attachement with "She will be loved". The simplicity of the bossa nova inspired melody mixed with the deep story behind the lyrics was just magic for me.



Another song that brings me back to my adolescense is tatuaje by Alex Anwandter, which is almost like a nostalgic anthem for a lot of young adults. I feel like this is a beautifull song about keeping the good memories even if they were from a complicated time in your life.



Last but not least, I think it´s important to highlight the punk band "7 year bitch". I don´t know how to explain it, but the history of this group and the meaning of the songs they made were very strinking to me. It´s not for everyone, but listening to them is a very different experience. You just have to read the lyrics and understand the narrative.

Post 1: A country I would like to visit

 


When you ask someone what country they would like to visit, they´ll probably say the name of a country they`ve never been to. In my case, it´s the opposite. The last time I went to Peru I was about 10 years old, now that I´ve grown older I´ve realized the value of visiting a place that has a special place in your heart.

Half of my family (on my dad`s side) lives in Perú, specifically in Sausal, better known as "the land of eternal sun". I visited Sausal every time I went to Peru (three times), but I was just a child and didn´t appreciate it as much as I do now that I haven´t been there for so long.

Sausal is a very small place in the district of Chicama, my grandparents, most of my uncles and cousins live there. It´s not a very touristic or stereotypically beautiful zone but I really miss the comfort and love that I felt there. My grandparents have papaya and banana trees near their house and live next to a vineyard, it´s such a wounderful thing to see!

I would like to visit Peru (specifically Sausal) to scape Santiago (where I live) for a while and spend a well-deserved time with my family. I wouldn´t go to live there because I got used to the "always on the run" lifestyle, but it would be good to switch it up for a while.

Post 8: English Lenguage Challenges

 I´ve always love english, so taking classes at the University was a really good thing for me. This subject and the use of blogs are very no...
