Post 1: I would like to go to Los Uros


I would like to go to Peru and visit “Los Uros”. “Los Uros” are on Titicaca Lake and are a set of thirty floating islands made of totora, a floating aquatic plant. This place really attracts me because there are people who live in these floating islands and all the constructions are made of totora.

I want to go to this place because my peruvian friend Sheyla showed me pictures of this place and I thought it was very beautiful. She also told me it was a very entertaining ride. 

The people who live in "Los Uros" are descendants of a civilization that is older than the Incas and who used to live in Uro Lake (Bolivia) before the Incas tried to conquer them. I would like very much to travel to this place and have the opportunity to know the way of life of this ancient civilization. This trip must be an extraordinary adventure. 

To visit these islands is necessary to take a boat in the city of Puno. My friend Sheyla recommended that I hire a tour beforehand. The trip lasts approximately three hours and some of the islands that can be visited are Tupiri, Tribuna, Chumi, Paraíso and Tinajero. 

I would like to make this exotic trip just for pleasure and curiosity.

POST 6: POST GRADUATE STUDIES

I'm still not really sure of the graduate studies I'd like to pursue because I've been worried about finishing my career. Although I think it's a topic that should start worrying me.  The problem is that I like many areas of journalism and that is why it is difficult for me to decide what I would like to specialize in. But in the last time I have thought about studying Data Journalism.  It is a type of journalism in which large amounts of data are analyzed (Big Data) and statistical methods are used to draw conclusions to create news.  To learn data journalism it is necessary to learn programming, mathematics and statistics.  Although it is a very difficult area, I really like it a lot. Data journalism is a very rigorous journalism and serves to find out things like political corruption or the crisis of the church.  For example in the film Spotlight use this method for journalistic investigation.  In Chile this area is not developed but I ...

POST 7: THEMED / FREE POST 3

Some time ago I was interested in learning about women scientists from the past and in getting to know some of the present. I am interested in this because the natural sciences are an area where there is a lot of machismo and in school when they talked about science they only showed us male references. Hard sciences such as mathematics is one of the areas most often linked to men and it is for this reason that today I will talk about Ada Lovelace , the first woman programmer in history.  Ada was born in 1815 in England and since she was a girl she studied mathematics, driven by her mother. When he grew up he studied at the University of England and met Charles Babbage who designed an analytical machine that worked with the same principles that computers later worked on. Ada collaborated with him and invented the first alogaritmo to be processed. Thus it became the first that created a language for programming.  Ada was not only dedicated to mathem...

Post 4: Career related topic

When I finished studying at school, I felt very insecure and did not know what to study. My two options were: Cinema and TV or Journalism. I like watching movies, literature, writing and communications in general, so I had a hard time deciding. Finally I decided on Cinema and TV and entered the University of Chile. I studied Cinema for a year and a half and then decided to change to Journalism. When I was studying cinema, I realized that really more than making movies, I liked watching movies and writing about movies. I also realized that my favorite area was documentary film. For these reasons I decided to change to Journalism in the same University of Chile. The career of Journalism I like very much because it covers all my interests. I really like written journalism and also audiovisual journalism. Audiovisual journalism has allowed me to develop my documentary interest. Another area that fascinates me is investigative journalism, reports and chronicles. In general the texts that re...
