   Blog post 6 Topic: Time travel to the future Instructions: Where would you like to go? Why? What time in the future? Would you like to stay there? Why/Why not? Upload pictures Make comments on 3 of your classmates’ posts + a comment on your teacher's post Word Count: 220 words Chile in the 2057! I’m someone who suffers from a big deal of anxiety, so I’ve never had a particular obsession for the future in particular, and even though I like day dreaming I tend to think over past times... but since I need to take the challenge I’d say I would like to explore Latinamerica, particularly Chile in some 36 years from now. This year I turned 36 and for that I would like to see the country by the time I double my age.  Today I learnt through social media that the President of the Constitutional Convention is a woman and also Mapuche, and guess what! She’s also a Language Teacher colleague. And now having witnessed that historic moment - I need to recognize, I never, either as a teen, a co

And here I am!!  As a youngster I always wanted to have a job that it's fun, light, and easy to do job, but always wanted to be with people, so now I think I took the best option. From all the many areas I could work in, I always wanted something neither too-much outdoors nor indoors, furthermore, I wanted something that would produce some kind of social change, a goog, important and deep change. In other matters, I wanted to travel, to see the world, to meet strange people, well... strange meaning, different than

I cannot tell you that I really remember their adventures on screen because I wa

I also guess time has gone by and since the Covid crisis began things have changed in many aspects, or well, so I guess. One of the big changes in life in the times of Covid-19 has been that along with Dulce we came to live down the countryside in the Bio Bio region. A lovely, though quite a cold place. Quite green as well, yet the growth of the forestry industry has done its thing,  As I came here I needed to improve the quality of soil bec
