My real home

I don't know what you think but since I started to learn more about the "big countries"(United States, France, Spain, Germany, etc.) and which has been their role in the history of Chile and Latin America I learned how much pain and wars they had cause just because of their greed, and their old wish of controlling all the riches of the continent.  That was really a deception to me, because what I used to think that were the perfect countries it was all a lie.
And also, when I was in 8th grade, the time I used to listen a lot of bands from United states, my dream was to visit London, Las Vegas, and all the big cities that seemed to be (for me) in the top of growth of the new ideas, new music, new artist, etc.
But now, I realized that there's a lot of artist, musicians, writers, in Latin America which are genius!! Latin America it still being a young country, and his vitality really motivated you to visit it. If you ask me one specific country of this big land to make a travel, I wouldn't know what to answer. Because what enthusiasm me of this continent it is not one specific monument, or one specific touristic center, what really make me love this continent is their people and his nature, and maybe here is the answer of why I chose Anthropology as my University career.
If I had the opportunity to improve my studies there and also learn how to talk Portuguese it will be the begin of my big career dream (which I described in my last post).
The places that I would like to visit are many, the only think that I know about them is on internet, here you can see ones of my favorite pictures of their countrysides

This are the "palms of fog" that are in Colombia.



Here is one of my adventure places that I wish to visit, the people call them "the green holes

of Sarisariñama"  which are in Venezuela.

And of course the flowery desert of Chile

But, in spite of all this beauty, we can't forget all the problems of poverty that this continent is suffering, and that is one of the other reason I wouldn't like to leave, or maybe, "escape" to better lands. For me, this continent needs a lot of help, and I will like to do something to help the people.

 I become to create in my mind a new limit of my concept of home, that it used to be just Chile, and the feeling is just the same like making bigger your family, or making new friends.

Jobs

Well... I've always thought that the perfect job for me has to be somewhere "far away" of an office. I think sometimes that it will be really boring to spend my whole life writing stuff in a computer, or just being in a small place. I've always wanted to travel, but to travel into places connected with the nature, I mean, if I travel to Brazil I'll prefer to go to the jungle rather than visiting the big cities. I think that's why I chose anthropology as my university career, even if I'm not sure what specialty to choose, all the specialties offer the opportunity to travel a lot, to meet a lot of cultures, to learn about different ideologies, and all this will make me really happy. Also, I would love to write many books and all related to adventures and exotic places.
But, when I "put the feet on the ground" I realize that this dream is a little out of my skills cause I'm a little bit lazy sometimes and I don't do so much exercise, also I'm such a coward!  for example I'm still afraid of darkness, and I think the jungle will be much more dangerous than just my house with the lights off. But instead of this, I will go to every sport of my university to get in shape and I will beat my fear of the darkness, also I'm so motivated that I convinced my boyfriend to study geology instead of electric engineering (I didn't obligate him, but I told him my plans and he became really excited). But, first in Latin America and then maybe some of the "big countries" and United States, because I've wanted to travel but not so far of the people of Latin America, that's because I'm really attached to them, and their culture.

And ok... I think it will be really difficult to find a job so extreme and dangerous, I mean, just making a project of investigation needs a lot of money and if I want to go to a big investigation I will have to need more experience, but I will be happy if I can know all Latin America and talk with a lot of people of different countries and cultures, to write a lot of books and to be with my friends, family and boyfriend most of the time.
