Post 8, summer plans



Good morning everyone,

In this ocassion I'm gonna talk about my summer plans. Until now, I'm thinking in work during january and half of february, I need to earn some money now to pay debts and buy new devices for my mountain equipment. I didn't look for a job yet, but maybe It's time to start moving.

Taking aside my work plans, I have the intentions to participate in december in COP25 as a volunteer. Now I'm in the process of postulation - trainings to be part of this event on the first days of the month. After that, I will stay home to pass christmas and new year with my family, and also take a little rest before starting work.

Sadly, I have no plans (and money) to travel by myself in the last days of my vacations. After work I have to go to Valdivia to see my sister and my nephew, he will be born on these days; so I want to take my last days of vacations to spend time with my family and also to stay with this little boy, I'm really excited and happy for that.

Before all of this plans, I was looking for another volunteer work in february in a natural park, as a helper for the parkrangers in parque tagua-tagua, a natural reserve near of Cochamó and Puerto Montt, it's a beautiful place, but It didn't work. Maybe it will be for a next time.

Post 7, Bucket list



Hi again classmates. This time I have to talk a bucket list.
Curiously, I never thaught about a bucket list, but maybe it's a good idea, it's cool starting creating one. The things that I want today are usually non-ordinary experiences; related to sports, music, travels and strange activities. I'm very close to reach one of them, that is donate my hair to a cancer fundation, ideally to help a child who's going throught this illness. Talking about sports, climbing in ice or in a glacier it's something that I want to try someday. Maybe the only one that I really made it's to start training martial arts, but reach a black belt level could be a new goal. Talking about other activities, travel into entire Asia would be an insane experience, meeting new and totally different cultures and people had alroused my interest; but it would be difficult to achieve this, travel in a entire continent it's really expensive. I was thinking about wich person I'd like to share these activities, and depends of every context, maybe friends, family; but surely people that I love and I trust at 100%.
Sincerely, a bucket list It's not important at all in my life, because with every passing year is totally different to the rest, and everything turns really different comparing to the past, including desires, goals, etc (at least it's something that mark you for entire life).

Post 6,postgraduate


Hi again,

This time I have to talk about postgraduate studies. I'm looking for a Msc (master of science) in Geography, hopefully in Canada, in UBC. I choose that academy because it's one of the best schools of geography, and for his proximity to landscapes similar to Chile (mountains, rainforests and glaciers); and also because I will be near to my cousins (they live in Victoria, an island in front of Vancouver). I would take courses of glaciology, hidrology, environmental risks and climate change; simply because I love this area of the carreer, and also I'm interested in how the landscapes and forms are changing constantly and quickly (for the climate change), and how they affect the people and the cities. Also are envolved with the management resources, another big challenge of our actuallity.
I'm interested in the Msc because I would like to be an investigator. When I'm in a new place, I'm curious of how was formed, specially the mountains and glaciers. Sincerely, I really love these landscapes and it would be a pleasure to work and study on them.
If I go to Canada, I'm gonna need a big amount of money, so probably I will choose a part-time status to study and work while I'm there, but the disadvantage it would that I'm not gonna be 100% concentrated in my studies, I have to think on that.
