  Hi everyone! Today I’m gonna talk to you about a time travel I would like to do. I like History, so there are so many places where I would go to, but I’m gonna choose just one and this is going to be the 60’s Chile.   This period is very interesting because it was a deep-reforms historical stage because there were, in the first place, an earthquake in 1960, the most powerful earthquake recorded (my grandfather experienced it in Valdivia. He was 15 years old). He and my another grandfather remember the US Army or Navy helping people. In the second place, there was a Cold War between United States and the Soviet Union and Chile was not apart of this conflict. By one hand, part of the Chilean society wanted to keep the traditional order, specially in the country and the economy. By the other hand, another parts of the society wanted make change through reforms or the revolution. For someone, reforms matched a balance between social justice and prevent the revolution, es...

 Hi! About my future work i would really like working as a archaeologist. I studied Pedagogy in History before and I didn’t like it, so I entered to Anthropology in 2022, I already had my first job in January and it was a good experience. I imagine myself traveling to various places of Chile, excavating in archaelogical assents and finding material remains. Archaeologists are necessary for environmental impact studies in Chile because there are laws protecting heritage (Monumentos Nacionales and Ley Indígena Laws). What skills will I need? I will need, first of all, my Archeologist’s degree, because laws ordain that only archaeologists can leading archaeological projects. Secondly, a driver’s licence. Sometimes it’s necessary driving to distant places like the desert or the mountains. And last, but no least, good shoes, hat, proper clothing, shovel, bucket and pick. About the salary, it’s a well-paid job, there are so many projects in mining and construction and few archaeolo...

 Hi everyone! Today I'm gonna talk to you about the best vacation ever! Actually my last vacations Where? in two places: Huasco (northern Chile) and San Sebastián (central Chile). In Huasco I worked in archaeological excavations with archaeologists, physical anthropologists, and other people, as part of a enviromental impact study. I was there during one month, where we found lithic material (projectile points, painted stones), pottery, malacological material (shells) and human remains.  I was an important experience to me, bacause it helped me to understand how the anthropologists work and being ready for future jobs in archaeology. Besides, I went with my sister and other people to the beach and Llanos de Charague National Park. It was very funny.  I was in San Sebastián during two or three weeks. I was there with my family and dogs (of mine and stray) and friends. It was a special occasion because a friend of mine came from Switzerland (he is studying a Master's Degree...

 Hello! I'm Nicolás, I'm from Santiago, Chile and study Anthropology at University of Chile.  I created this blog to show you my interests about traveling and other things during this semester. All of this in English language!  To start with. If there is a country I would like to visit it would be Portugal, a country in western Europe, facing the Atlantic Ocean. It's a small country with a long, but little known history.  What do I know about Portugal? Well, Portugal has two renowned writers: Fernando Pessoa and José Saramago, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1998. Also there is the University of Coimbra, one of the oldest European universities (1290). I would like to eat "pastéis de Belém", (a traditional dessert made of eggs, butter, milk and pastry dough), and seafood and drinking wine in Lisbon or another city.  Also I would wish to study my PhD in Archaeology at the University of Lisbon. During the last years Portuguese universities have reache...
