A "mom-present-style"

When is about presents there's no one that actually comes immediately to my mind, I'm not really good with presents, at least not for myself, I like to give presents, but is always weird when people gave them to me, the situation makes me feel anxious because I feel that people expect something in return and I'm a mess dealing with that kind of pressure, I'm sorry this seems more like therapy than a gift-talk, but it helps to clear my mind until find a good present experience to share.
If I have to talk about a present I'll go a little nerd and mention mu birthday present on 2010 (six years ago.... Wow) I was on third year of "enseñanza media" that year, I wasn't living with my mom because the earthquake hit us really hard and we lost our house and also my school was destroyed (other story, for another time maybe) so I moved to Valparaiso so I could finish at least that year in a more "normal way". So I was away from she, was a weird year, but even in the hard times, she always encourage me to keep going and try hard for my goals, one of them, was to be able to get into this University, on the career I wanted, so she sent me by mail box, a study book for the History PSU, and told me that was a present for my future. I was expecting money to be honest, but that was something so.... "Mom style" that when I opened the box, and read the letter, I get so emotional I started to cry AHAHAHAHA.
I liked it because it was useful, we couldn't afford to pay extra classes or a particular school so it was everything in my hands, on the determination I had, and the time I would spent to achieve that goal.
It went well (I'm here now, hi!) so the book is now in hands of my little brother. Not sure if he's gonna use it or not, but I think is in good hands.

Deep in the North

This entrance is dedicated to a place I really want to go, and also, to share the great things you can there.

The north of our country, Chile, more exactly on the Tarapacá region, there's a place called Cerro Unitas. Cerro Unitas is a mountain not really high which have one of the most impressive geoglyphs of the desert, and it's sometimes known as "the giant of the desert".

This place is linked to cultures and traditions from many centuries ago, who even in a arid and dry place like desert, could reach a way of living and develop a rich culture. This geoglyph is not the only one, on the same region, there's a lot of rock art, who demonstrate the diversity of practices and relations this populations had.

Is kinda fun, I was born on Valparaiso and lived most of my live in Cauquenes, on the Maule region, I have indigenous roots who linked me with the Mapuche culture, so basically my relation with the north of the country was none until I the time I got to University. Here along with the knowledge of different past cultures of our country and close countries, I started learning about different practices and things that happened and keep happening on our same countries, and I have not idea about them. I'm deeply grateful for the chance the career give me to know more about our country, and its history.

So, now while working on my final works for college, I started getting really into this zone and past cultures, even If I never been there. This is why I want to promote people to go there, learn and explore, our country have a lot of amazing things we should  know. I hope I could work there soon, not sure If I actually want to live there, but I would love to go many times as possible ejejeje.
