An artist you love: The Beatles

In my family there is a kind of tradition to love the Beatles. My uncles, siblings, grandmother and nephews are fans of them and in my dad's home always have been a picture of the Fab Four. He's their number one fan. I realized about the great band that they were when I was a teenager, at sixteen years old. I loved Come together when I listened to it in the radio and one day I heard it in Abby Road and I just fell in love.


The Beatles were a band of four young men from Liverpool, United Kingdom: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. Their first album, Please please me (1963) released a teenage fever for The Beatles with rock and roll covers and original songs. Later, with the flower revolution in the 60's, the Beatles became into more hippie band, with experimental songs, playing new instruments like zither, and lyrics about political compromise or drugs experience. I love the two ages. The Beatles took the name from the beatniks, a 50's literary movement led by Jack Kerouac, a writer who John Lennon liked. My favorite albums are Revolver, Abbey Road and The White Album, all of them from the experimental age.

For me, The Beatles represent the sixties's spirit, by far the most rebellious youth with the will to change the world. I love the liberation from old and repressive customs that the youth took care of, and the evolution of rock that accompanied these decade, with artist like The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin or The Mamas and The Papas.

Best holidays ever: auto stop in the south

In the summer of 2014, me and one of my best friends, Marcela, traveled to Chiloé for visit to Camila, our school friend. I liked so much this holidays because the improvised and crazy trip. We went with no maps or plans even, and we traveled around Chiloé about a week. Camila invited to us to a marriage that lasted three days! Also we went to a heavenly beach named Duhatao, and the Chiloé National Park. For these days was the Moon Party in Cucao, and people left so much garbage that a camping's owner allowed to us stay at the place if we helped him to clean.

After we took many trucks, we arrived to Villarrica and met with our old school art teacher, Tatiana. We went together to Licanray and we got in a mapuche place. Also we went to a thermal baths lost in the mountains, it was beautiful. Tatiana's cat, Chulki, had recently have four adorable little kitties, who spoiled and pooped everything around them. Also, Marcela broke almost all the dishes by accident, it was so funny!

A country I would like to visit: Cuba



I would like very much to travel to Cuba. In fact, my plan is to go next year in January or May. I think Cuba is so much beautiful because of the weather, old architecture and fifthies cars. Also, I would very much like to know the people's way of living, I mean, in a classless society.


What I know about Cuba is that it was one of the first islands colonized by the spanish navy, and its indian population didn't survive to almost slavery treatment. I want to learn more about Cuban Revolution.





I want to go on a program of the goverment that takes you around the country on voluntary works for two weeks. I don't know very much about what I would have to do there, but I rather these kind of travel than the classic turistic journey with hotels and guides.




I would like to know the cinema school in Santiago de los Baños, and would see the posibility of studing there a post grade. But is such and idea at least... 

I don't know what to do in the future, but definitively Cuba is the first step!
