My best holidays i ever had

Hi!, the holidays im going to talk about didn't was a holidays really but it felt totally like that, it was a orchestra tour with the Orquesta de camara del teatro municipal de Santiago, our travel was to Rapa Nui. In the lastest 4 years I've been to many cities of Chile, but some special energy was in the island, maybe it was the sea or the people. 

It was so special for me because i was with a great group of friends y doing what i love, so it was a complete travel, with music, friends and free time. 

In our free times we walked around the island and met the ahu's, it was really impresive, we went to the Anakena beach, and met the culture of the people, who talked us about their history.

i loved the weather too, was so tropical in these days, with a really hard rain but with a high temperature too, so it was perfect. 

We went to play in the school and the kids had really a lot of energy, their people was so lovely at less with my, some mates told me they had a problems with some Rapa nuis, so im so grateful with the experience I had with the people there.

One year I traveled to Chiloè just for holidays and there was the same "magical energy", and i really enjoyed  that, so i don't know what holidays was the best, I feel I've been learning to apreciate the people and the nature traveling, specially to these places where the people live far from the continental people, their vision of the world is so special, I think it is the small territory where all knows between them.

a photograph and its story

This picture was taken in Castro, Chiloé, Chile in August, 2017. This photo is so special for me because it was my second trip to the south. I went to Chiloé to take a violin masterclass and play in a chamber music orchestra. On my day off, we just went for a walk. After a few hours, I was totally lost. "A savage horse appeared" haha. This was the first time (as far as I can remember), I touched a wild horse. I was really scared because I respect animals' space so much. Receiving a kick from a big wild horse wouldn´t be strange for me.
During that trip, I met the culture and typical foods of the locals like milcaos, curanto, and the chilote soup.
It was lot of fun because I walked around the island and met a lot of good and friendly people.
Every year, I try to go to the south of Chile because I feel something very special with the people, animals and wild life there.

my hobbies and pastimes

       i'm not really constant with my hobbies, so i don't know which one is hobbie and pastimes but i love walk, sometimes anywhere, for me is so fun because i can see a lot of situations, people and funny moments, and is so effective for clean my mind and let him breath. 
I love read too, books about stories, information, actually i'm looking for books about music, 
and Reading "fraseo musical" by Hugo Riemann. 
Aproximately since 2012 sometimes i like make rap improvisations with Friends, nowadays the hip-hop has been used for freestyle battles, but for me is not that, i try to hear a "aware rap". i like a lot of music genres, and i try to listen the most quantity as i can of differents genres (especially when i'm walking).
Now i'm more and more interested in magic, from my childhood i liked see magic tricks, even sometime i was a magic learner, i hope learn some new magic tricks and have a teacher.

                                          here is a photo of two of my favorite magicians, Penn and Teller

My favorite piece of technology

                         

        I think in this times that question is unusually hard, because a lot of things are technology, even my kitchen jaja, but i feel one of my favorite is my smartphone. my brother bought my first mobile when was 10?, i dont really remember, but in that time the cellphones wasn´t smartphones, so i only played the spaceship game.

Actually my cell phones isn't a great one, but i can take a picture, listen music, search information in the web, send message to people (something so special and usefull to me, because i live faraway from my family <insert sad emoji>.

i love hear music, and i was so close to choose my headphones, but that need the mobile or other device to work, the mobile can do a lot of things and always is self-sufficient. so, for listen music i use my cell phone all days, and for talk with people.i like the smartphone not only for the social networks, is because i think: "how that quantity of information can stay in a very small place".

I think without my mobile, i would probably feel one step further from home, and my travels would be longer and bored, but maybe we would be more focused in the important things of the "real life" 

why music performer ?

                                                     




             When i was a kid, i lived in Arica. i wasn't a very social child, but i loved play the flute (i mean the "flauta dulce") so, that was my first close up with the music like player, i liked other things to, like play chess, football, video games, etc.

All my life i felt atraction to the nature, so when i was a child i dreamed with be a vet, or doctor for help in some way, actually i been thinking in study agronomy.
all this happened before i know the music like something really serious. when i was 12 i met the violin and i fell in love with the music, for my parents all happened so fast, because in a month i was thinking in become a violinist.

Some careers can be more dificult or imposible to realize in the north of our country, so we need come to the capital. when i arrived to Santiago i was so happy and sad at the same time, happy for finally study music and sad for my family and Friends.

My experience in the university is not so bad, i have good teachers and classmates, i really feel im learning. some aspects are complicated but after all the teaching is very good.


I hope some day be a musician of a professional orchestra, have a chamber music group and can teach who need. And if i finally study agronomy, be a contribution to the nature.
