An unusual independence day holidays

Independence Day holidays are a very special date in my family, because we are very traditional and the most important part is the typical food. My mom cooks a lot, she spends like three days doing this and she needs help, so I go to the kitchen and I give her a hand. Meanwhile my dad is with his computer and his sound equipment and he puts some national music, so we have a good ambient in the house. My two little sisters keep living in their world, they know something about the independence but they enjoy more the food and the free time that they have these days. What I really like about Independence Day holidays are the time that I have to spend with my family and all the things that we can do together. And if I start to think, I can say that I don’t hate or dislike something of these days, I’m not a totally patriotic person but I prefer to enjoy the other side of this holidays as I said before, sharing with the people that I love.

This Independence Day holidays were very unusual because we were celebrating my parent’s anniversary on 17^th September, and I decided to go out in the night but I have a bad luck episode: I fall when I was walking with some of my friends and I trusted my ankle, so I went to the urgency and they put me a plaster. I was sad in that moment, I ruined my family’s plan for holidays, and they were mad but just for a day, fortunately. So I spend five days in home, staying at bed and trying to enjoy time with my parents, sisters and friends that come to visit me. Maybe I couldn’t do everything that I have planed but it was a great moment, I learned how important are some situations for change plans and keep having a good time, is all about the capacity for be more optimistic in life… I hope the next Independence Day Holidays will more active and without accidents haha

A kind of heaven.

When holidays are coming, many people think in spend that time traveling to other countries, but I prefer to travel in my own country, specially to the south. I’ve been doing this travel since I was a child, and I always say that is my favorite site to travel in Chile, no matter if is for a holiday or for another reason.
If someone asks me, I have to say that my best holidays were this year. I traveled in February with my parents and my two little sisters, we went in car and the first place that we visit was Temuco and then, we arrive to the most fantastic city (in my opinion, of course): Valdivia. We spend a week there and we did a lot of things, like eat fishes or other foods that we didn’t know in that moment, travel to other islands (like Chaihuin- that has an amazing beach with wonderful colors and incredible views-, Mancera, Isla del Rey, and others that I can’t remember right now), or having a quiet moment in a boat.
I think that these holidays were the best because I spent a special time with my family, I found places and I felt in love whit the peace that involves you and specially because the south cities reminds me my childhood and all the things that composes me, I felt like in home.
All this travels to the south makes me wonder if some holiday, when I have to decide where to go alone, in the future, I will choose this places. And then I answer to myself: Of course I’m going to! There’s not like the south, is a kind of heaven for me. If you have the chance to go, please don’t lose the opportunity, and enjoy all the surprises that the south of Chile offers to you.
Here’s some images of Niebla (Valdivia) and Lago Panguipulli (another city located in the south). I’m simply in love with all of these places.

If you ask me for travel?…

One of the countries that I would like to visit is Francia, because it has a lot of culture to offer for all the people that have artistic likes and want to know more about other cultures. Another reason when I think that I woul like to travel to Francia is that I really don’t know a lot of things abou it. In fact, the only thing that I know is their language- I love french accent- I have to say that I would like to learn it, if I have the oportunity someday.

I would like to stay in Francia for a long time,  like six months or something. I’d want to visit another cities like Bordeaux (because I heard once about their wines-a lot of specialist says that here is the best wine in the world), or Marsella because it has many quiet places with beaches or forests, and this kind of cities are the best in my opinion (yes, I’m that kind of person that enjoys knowing a city by their history, or just walking around their streets and asking everything to other people). I would like to see the life in Francia, work in some place and know more about their culture, problems or celebrations. I think that if you want to know a country, you need more than two weeks, and the ‘’city tours’’ are too fast to do this, you can’t enjoy all the things that a place can offer to you.  That’s why, in my future plans, I hope to travel to other countries (including Francia) for some years, and then come back to my country, becoming with more cultural knowledge and experience for life. The world is waiting for us and we just have to take the first step (if the opportunity arises).
Here is some photos of Marsella
