The best concert ever

 A night of romance


My mother used to listen to romantic latin music, so all my childhood I listened to artists like Camila, Jesse & Joy, Reik, Pablo Alboran, Ricky Martin, etc....

That's why I will never forget when in 2013 there was a concert that together with Jesse & Joy, Reik, and Pablo Alboran on the movistar arena stage.

It's pretty strange that at 12 years old there is a kid in the middle of all the people at the concert, but stranger was that the kid sang all the songs of the artists. Well, that kid was me.

 I must say that the feeling that the people around me, the artists, the effect of the lights, plus the feeling of meeting the artists that I loved the most at that moment was incredible.

 I also feel that if it hadn't been for how complicated it was to get the money for a ticket it would have made the whole moment worth it, I felt that my effort had paid off.

 Especially when jesse & joy were on stage, their musical set up plus a characteristic sofa that they put in all their shows made it look more organic. They were on their tour "Con quien se queda el perro" (My favorite album).

For all of the above, this became my favorite concert.

A country you would like to visit

 The country of the rising sun


When I met the anime I fell in love with Japanese culture, its food, places, history, etc....

Therefore, I would like to travel to Japan and know everything I've seen through videos, series, blogs that show the reality behind that country.

I would like to visit temples, from Tokyo to Kyoto, passing through different attractions, such as the Kyoto Tower, the Hachiko statue, the Hiroshima Peace Monument, the villages where you can feel the "edo" era and the memory of the "Sanurais" tokihabara.

Samurai to akihabara with its "new Japan" style full of anime culture, maids, cosplay, figurines, etc.

I would like to visit Japan in spring, to see the cherry blossoms in bloom and then watch them fall.

I would just like to go on vacation, since it is not the same to be on vacation than to go to live there, Japan is one of the countries with the highest suicide rate in the world, and one of the countries with the highest rate of labor exploitation, these can also be visualized in the Japanese education which forces children to study at the university.

For these reasons I prefer to go on vacation, to keep the magic of this wonderful country.

How do you feel about English?

English love

Since primary school, it has been easy for me to translate from English to Spanish, read texts and understand what was written in them, but my weak point has been to be able to pronounce correctly or to be able to listen and translate conversations. 


But all this changes at the beginning of the pandemic, although it sounds funny, I installed tinder since the passport was free, and I decided to travel to European-Asian countries to meet people from different realities and countries, at this point is where my story really starts.

In these multiple changes of country, I met a girl named Daria, she was Ukrainian, and she was an English teacher and was learning Spanish. She loved to talk by phone or audio, but it was complicated for me to do it, because I could only translate conversations by chat, so I decided to improve my other skills by listening to music, playing video games, watching movies and series.


As the months went by, I could understand 70% of the conversations and I could answer 50% of them, being my pronunciation my weakness. I was happy to have improved my English and also to have met an amazing person through this language.


But all good things come to an end, after 1 year and a few months we had problems, specifically because of cultural differences. So I stopped speaking the language.


If I had to summarize all my history with this language I would say that it has given me great opportunities and I would like to continue learning to get to know other cultures and other people like the story I told above.
