Changes to my study programme

I guess that I wouldn't change so much things to the study programme because I find interesting the way that the University of Chile has developed our career. I studied journalism in the UC a couple of years ago and they had a completely different way to teach the same career, focused on working on the media and, although it was fun, I think that the university should be a place and time to open your mind and not only learn the how-to of a profession. So, taking this in count, I think that the University of Chile has a really nice study programme for me. Sadly, my generation had the bad fortune of studiyng subjects like radio and tv during the pandemic time, so I can't criticize the university for the gap we have in comparison with others cohorts because nobody was prepared for the COVID, but I think that in those kind of subjects the teachers should be more demanding. Maybe they are in a regular year, but, as I said, we had bad luck of learning this kind of things through a co...

Time travel to the future

If I could have the ability to travel through time, I would definitely go to future and see how we have evolved or if we have extinguished from the face of the earth or if we are already traveling through space. It would be great that we are still alive and If that’s the case I would like to know what has been the most important discovery of our civilization. Also, a couple of days ago they were showing in a podcast that I follow how the technology, specially the use of smartphone, is going to change the morphology of the human race for the year 3000. It amazed me the way our body is going to adapt for the better use of our cell phones and I would really like to see if the forecast that scientist have made were real or not. If I have to choose between staying there and going back to my time, I wouldn’t be so sure what I would do. If I stay in the year three thousand I guess it would be difficult to adapt to the new times, but I’m sure that I could stand it and I could see and learn...

My dream job

Imagen
In the future I would like to work as an UX researcher, but I would love to keep on with the music too, so it’s hard to choose only one! The UX researchers are the professional that are in charge of investigate the best way to make a digital product easier for the user. They usually are journalist, but I will need to make some minors after the university to work on that because we only have one course of this subject in this faculty. For this job you need to understand very well the behavior of the final user and u have to figure out which is the better way to display the information in the screen. Also, you need to know a little bit of design and how the internet site are made. The salary is one of the biggest incentive in this case. You can easily make $1.500.000 clp monthly working on this and u don’t necessary need to work on an office, u can make it from anywhere! But, to be honest, I would change everything to be able to live from the music. I’ve been working on it with m...

The best holidays ever

Imagen
One of the best vacations I have ever had was when I traveled to Bolivia, on the year 2013 I think. That time I went with an ex-girlfriend, her friend and one buddy of mine. We started our tour with the Uyuni salt flat. It was an amazing experience; we took a lot of photos there because you can play with the depth of the place and make funny pictures. We also visited a hotel made only by salt, but we didn’t stay there. Then, we went to Sucre, the old capital of the country. Sucre has a lot of hills outside of the city, so we took a bike tour with my friend and my ex-girlfriend and we saw a lot of beautiful place, we even saw a little palace! After staying a couple of days in Sucre, we took a bus to Santa Cruz de la Sierra, the wealthiest region of Bolivia. When we went there was a carnival in Santa Cruz and the streets were full of party! Sadly I got very sick due to something I ate in Uyuni, so when I arrived I had to go to the hospital; one of the worst experiences in my life. ...

A country where I would like to live

If I had to choose one country to live in it would be Brazil. One of the reasons to choose Brazil it’s because I’m a percussionist and it would be really great to study the rhythms and patterns of the Brazilian music. In this sense, I would love to live in Rio de Janeiro, also known as the city of the samba. Another reason why I would choose Rio de Janeiro it’s because of the warm climate and the beaches. I was raised in a coastal city at the south of Concepcion called Arauco and I would love to live by the sea again. Besides, if I move to another country it would be with my girlfriend and she hates the cold climates, so Rio it’s perfect. Finally, the last reason why I choose Brazil as my number 1 country to live is because of the soccer. The brazilians are the kings of this sport and I think that it would be amazing to experience the football in the way they do. Playing soccer is one of my favorite things to do and I’m pretty sure it won’t be difficult to find a group of friends to pl...
