My future job

Imagen
  My dream work as forest engineer   I would love to work as a forest engineer in a company, NGO or Public Service that dedicates to conservation of biodiversity, obviously in an area related to trees conservation, study of plagues and other hazards that can affect them. I imagine that it would be outdoors, walking under big dense forests in south Chile, doing field work and researching the state of different species of the zone where i am working. Preferably I would like to work between “Región de Los Rios” and “Región de Aysen” in the south of our country. In the future I imagine my self living in the countryside of southern Chile, surrounded by dense native forests, and near the location of my dream work, so I don’t have to travel a lot, immerse in the beauty of this part of my country. My earnings could be something that allows me to live a peaceful life in the countryside and travel to see my family or vacation from time to time. Also in the near future I would like...

The Best Field Trip EverThe Best Field Trip Ever

  When do you went to the field trip? For which class it was? Where did you go? Why do you went there? What things did you learn there?   Viña del Mar Botanic Garden In our first year as forest engineering students, we went to a field trip with our Biotics class to the beautiful city of Viña del Mar, also known as “Viña” or “Garden City”. We weren’t there for any reason, we were there because in Viña is located one of the most complete and amazing botanic gardens of all the country. The Botanic Garden of Viña del Mar is home of a diverse number of plant species, for that reason we went there, to learn to recognize different kind of species and get to know new ones. Our assignment was simple, get a group of five random people, recognize different kind of plant taxon’s, and deliver this to the teacher. The beauty of the trip was in the new and fascinating plants that we studied and see, like for example the Toromiro ( Sophora toromiro ) , a plant so rare that is extinct ...

My favourite movie

  ¿Which is my favorite movie? ¿When was it released? ¿What is it about? ¿Who are his main characters? ¿What the movie is trying to represent or tell? ¿What lesson(s) it leaves? Lilo and Stich Lilo and Stich, is the only movie that I have watched fully more than 10 times, is an animated movie that released in 2002, when I was only 3 years old, but despite this I grow up watching this movie over and over again, even today I enjoy it as It was the first time that I saw it. This animated movie from Disney is, in the surface, about Stich, a rogue alien that was created by an intergalactic scientist, that became friend with a Hawaiian girl named Lilo, and they have super fun adventures trying to understand each other and hiding from the intergalactic police that is hunting down Stich. But on the bottom, the movie is about how love and respect can change even the most twisted of beings, this because Stich is a representation of some kind of “Frankenstein”, that is created by someon...

The best Holidays ever

It’s commonly thought that the northern part of our country (Chile), its full of flat, boring and dirty landscapes, with cities like Copiapo or Calama vilified among the more southerner’s habitants of Chile like us. My mindset about this was bias, but my experience going on vacation to “Pan de Azucar” National Park completely change my mindset. On holiday 2021 more specifically between February 7 and 17, I traveled with my parents to Pan de Azucar National Park, which its located on the coastal side of the Atacama Region, it’s important to note that this was during the pandemic that we all have suffered this last year and a half. We set camp in the camping sites available inside the park, and from there we managed to do activities like trekking (a lot) and photography of wildlife, but more importantly, we connected with this beautiful environment put in front of us. Since there this trip was transformed in a deep learning about how a desertic, sometimes flat, environment can be beautif...

A place I would like to visit

Welcome,  today i will write about Australia. I would like to travel to many countries but my favorite one is Australia. Because i would like to   appreciate his beatiful landscapes, exotic wild life and learn their culture is commonly known that Australia has one of the most rich biodiversity world wild, being one the country with highest endemism in the planet. Also it is very safe place, it has really low criminal rates.   His capital city is Sidney widely known for his spectacular opera hause, the big   Sydney Harbour Bridge and his beatiful beaches   One of my biggest dreams it’s to live and work in Australia, but not permanently. I think that if I accomplish that I could improve my English a lot, meet new and interesting people and expand the frontiers of my knowledge about wildlife. This last point it’s the most important to me, because I would like to know everything that I can in this life about the worlds most exentric and rare specimens.
