My Hobbies

In big words I'm practice 3 hobbies, swimming, climbing and mountaineering.  I swim since 8 months ago, at least 2 times per week. I like swimming because I think it's a very complete sport and it's very cool participate in swimming tournaments. I practice sport climbing since 10 months ago, like 1 time per week. I like climbing because I love to give all I can in the sports and feel I will fall out it's exciting.   And my last hobby, mountaineering, I practice since more than 1 year ago. I climb like 1 mountain per month but I'm training 2 times per week for that. With this sport I was in places I never thought, and I know that places will be more. All the lasts sports I practice is because I want to climb mountains more techniques. In this year I want to learn traditional climbing and ice climbing, and currently I’m in vertical mountaineering classes for this objective. 

A photograph I like

I'm a follower of adventure. I love to know what people does in my interest areas. In instagram I follow some people or pages of rock climbing, landscapes, travel, among others. This pic, titled ''Lost in a cloud, with the feets on the skies which slides everywhere'', was taken by Carlos Hevia a Chilean mountaineer and photographer on february, 2017 on the expedition to Southern Patagonian Ice Field by Vida Glaciar. It portraits Erick Vasquez, member of the expedition, searching the way between the maze of cracks of the ice inside the clouds.  I like this photograph because shows the lonely life that they have to live inside the glacier, in a month they are the unique group of people on the ice, they said ''When we was inside the storm, we thought there are more peope because we saw sleigh prints and we tried to find them, but was our prints. We were walking around circles''; and how it seems when someone is inside the clouds or white wind, it...

My favourite band

It's hard for me to choose my favorite band or musician, because my likes change every time, songs I loved many years or weeks ago, today, I can hate now. So, because I must write about this, I think the band I like for the longest time will be Moral Distraída. They play some genres like Tropical, Folk, among others and that makes me like this band, because they don't follow only one style of music and all sounds come from musical instruments, I don't say I hate pop or electro, but the most part of my time I prefer listening to something that sounds like ''real''. I have been listening to them from the end of 2015, because when I was in my father's house, in Los Angeles, he plays Biobio radio station and they choose a few songs from Moral Distraida to have in their playlist.

My Favourite Piece of Technology

I love my smartphone. I can live without him, but the most of things I need to do I make it with him, like answer emails, take pictures, listen music, read and see where I am when I go to outside from the city. I love him because I'm more connected than with a laptop, and its more easier to handle something I can take with my hands than something I must have a surface to make it useful. I use it all the day, without need to watch whats happens all time, I can see all whenever I want. I don't remember when I got my first cellphone, that's happened when I was a child. So my first Smartphone than I bought, with my money, was the last year, and him was the first I've been stolen :(

Why did I choose biochemistry?

When I was a child I always wanted to study Medicine. I don't know why? Maybe because I saw TV series like House MD, or when I was in the hospital because I was with appendicitis and I had to wait a lot because at that time in Los Angeles there weren't a lot of anaesthetist. Whatever most of my childhood  I was thinking to study Medicine. When I was at the 2 lasts years of my High School I started to work in the high school's chem lab, and then I knew I had to work in a lab. So there I needed to work with biological samples, because I thought what is the point to work with chemicals if I don't know what happend inside the cells with them. So then I thought to study Medical Technology. In the lasts months of my High School I told my ideas to study Medical Technology to a friend who is studying Biochemistry and he told me ''Don't study Medical Technology, is better Biochemistry because you can do the same as them and more'' so then I started to inves...
