I love bikes, cars are a plague



I don't know exactly since when but I have always liked the bicycles, in my opinion I think that the bicycle is probably among the best inventions of the human being, not counting others more important like the internet or writing. Although I learned to ride and got a bike, maybe later that the common children, using the bike of my dad which was very large, like at 9 or 10 years, once I learned that there is no stopping. First, I had a classic mountain bike Bianchi, which over the years I changed some parts to practice Downhill, and by time issues and why I injured a shoulder at age 17 I decided to sell it and continued using the old road bike from my dad.


And the first thing I did when I arrived in Santiago, I searched and bought a bicycle. I go out on my bike very often, to any place and to new places. I love cycling because it makes me feel more relaxed, free and I also love speed and hate Transantiago as a means of transportation, so I usually go anywhere on a bicycle, and although I have a driver's license I would not have a car or motorbike because it is not comparable to being locked in a car or travell without the effort comes from me.

My favourite movies





I like so much watching movies but I don’t watch as many as I could, therefore I have difficulties to choosing my favorites movies but in general terms I enjoyed for example Whiplash featuring Miles Teller, and it’s about an ambitious young drummer that enters a prestigious music academy to fulfill his dream of becoming one of the greatest known drummers of all time and my favorite scene is when in the climax of movie Andrew trying to arrive an very important and decisive concert and he had an accident in the car that drives. Also I like the film Enter the void Also, I like the film Enter the void that tells the story of a French young man who is living in Tokyo with his sister and survives economically as drug dealer until during a struggle with the police he dies of a shot and begins a terrible trip through the city with chaotic visions. Finally, I consider The Truman Show a very interesting movie to tell the story of a man who lives in a totally controlled reality, as well as to raise the issue of the morbidity of society and reality shows, besides for the good Jim Carrey's performance.

Peña for the Wallmapu




At the beginning of June I attended to gig in benefit of mapuche political prisoners in the SINTRAC CND’s headquarters when were presented different artists, like Tata Barahona, Paisano, and other troubadour singers and mapuche rappers. In this event they sold empanadas, “navegado”, sopaipillas, wine, coffee and others prepared foods to withstand the cold, and the atmosphere in this place was so nice, friendly and and the companionship of the assistants was remarkable. I enjoyed each of the artists in special Tata Barahona and Paisano. I attended to this gig with my friend Franco who always accompanies me to all kind of events or hobbies, and in this occasion unexpectedly we were finished sharing with Tata Barahona, talking and smoking weed, I also met a teacher who was working in the organization and I know him for taking an education course. In brief was a very good gig even more to feel that one contributes to a good cause that is to fight for the freedom of Mapuche people who are constantly oppressed, so I prefer go to gig in benefit with more friendly atmospheres and with proximity to the artists instead of great concerts with high prices and in which you will not necessarily live a good experience.

A place I would like to visit!





I'd like to visit Italy because I think it must be a very interesting country because of its geographical position, especially its peninsular zone towards the south by the contact with other cultures, for example in cities like Naples, Palermo and Catania where I have read and seen some videos that possess a rich gastronomy and particular architecture. 
I know very little about more particular things, but I dream of being able to tour many places especially the coastal areas, to enjoy the weather, the sea and to be able to talk to people to know the stories they have to tell. I would also like to enter more natural places to know the vegetation, animals and different landscapes. 
I consider Italy an interesting country but I don't think it would be my ideal place to live but only to visit, since if I were to live in another country I would like to be a Latin American country.
