 Hello there! Today I will talk about a hobby that I have, this one is cooking.  Since I was a little girl I have always liked making pastries (because I have always liked sweets sooo much) but as I grew up I put it aside. But when the quarantine started (while I was preparing for PDT) I found that hobby again and I made it so much more frequent, so much so that the house smelled like cake every day. And eventually, I also started cooking salty foods trying to make them taste great. Cooking helps me a lot to relax and collect my thoughts now with the university I don't do it as much as I used to (apart from lunch) but, I always try to make the space to make something sweet, because maybe at some point it occurs to me to open a pastry shop and become a millionaire who knows haha.

   When I was 15 years old I was obsessed with Cuba however, I had never told anyone. But suddenly one day in February 2018, my father invited me and my sister to go on a trip to La Havana and Varadero.  We spent 15 days in total, along with my dad's fiancee and my two little siblings.

After the first week, we went to Varadero, where I swam with dolphins and spent the whole day on the beach.  One day we went for a walk to a town called Pinar Del Río, we enter some caves and there I tried the best lemonade I have ever had in my life. When we returned to Chile I was very happy (although because of my...

Hello there, welcome to my first blog post! Today I will talk about one of the countries that I would like to visit someday, on this occasion it will be Slovenia. Slovenia is a little Eastern European country that is between Italy and Croatia, and that's one of the reasons that I like it so much because has so many intercultural influences. But most of all, I adore Slovenia for the spellbinding views and picturesque landscape. Lake Bled is one of those and it is definitely the first place I would go, is a turquoise lake, embellished by a church on a small teardrop-shaped islet and with a background of snow-capped mountains. And I feel this place invites me to fill my lungs with the fresh mountain air.  Another place is the Škocjan Caves, which are a treasure chest full of secrets under the surface and It seems to me like stepping into a fairytale. This country It’s a wonderland of ever-changing scenery and ethereal beauty of nature.  As I said, I would like so much to visit th...
