 Hello everyone, good morning. Today's blog is something different, and it's about TestGorilla, a platform for doing activities and tests to practice and exercise English in a more fluent way. With my partner Eliu, we had to share headphones for the listening part, which personally was the one I liked the most. They were actually quite simple. I liked the platform for being able to practice English whenever I want. I struggled a bit with some grammar exercises, but with studying, improvement is possible. The multiple-choice activities also gave me some trouble, but my friend Eliu was helping me out. The writing activity was longer in my opinion; I find it a bit challenging to expand my ideas when writing in English, but I managed. The speaking part was entertaining. Well, thanks to this platform, it's ideal for final exams.  See you!

 Hello, everyone, on a new Wednesday blog. Today, I'll talk to you about someone on social media whose content I admire. More specifically, the content I watch the most is on YouTube, where I first discovered her. She's a girl who is a tattoo artist and lives in NYC. I remember watching her first video during the pandemic lockdown when I didn't know what else to do. I recall seeing a video of her showing what she did during the day, and watching her was very relaxing. That's why I liked her content. Besides, her style is very charming, and she has a beautiful decoration in her apartment. I've been following her for about three years now since I found her on YouTube. [Insert YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vh-sHms7hO8] Apart from the lovely color scheme in her videos, it's genuinely relaxing to watch them. I highly recommend her; besides being enjoyable, her content is motivating for personal projects or wanting to make a change in your environment.

Something i’m enjoy

Hello everyone, sorry for the delay haha, but I was a bit busy during the day. Well, today we'll talk about something I really enjoy doing outdoors. I must say I quite like the idea of leaving home and doing anything, like going for a coffee in a nice place, checking out thrift stores, or taking a walk to clear my mind. I also really enjoy kickboxing. I've been practicing it for about 7 years, and it's always a pleasure. It's amazing how a stressed mind from university can unwind by practicing this sport haha. Initially, I practiced kickboxing about 15 minutes from my home at a martial arts sports center, but I changed locations because I didn't feel entirely comfortable. I tried other places until I found one I liked. This place is literally around the corner from my house, a new sports center, and it was incredible news that kickboxing was going to be offered steps away from my home. So, I had no excuses not to get up and go right away. I really like this sport be

Torres del Paine

 Hello everyone on this blog. Today I will tell you about Torres Del Paine, a magical and beautiful place. I went to the towers in 2021, in August if I remember correctly. A bit of historical context, they are located at the southernmost tip of Chile, in the Region of Magallanes and Chilean Antarctica. It was declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1978 and is considered the most important national park in Chile. Its main attractions lie in the spectacular nature of its terrain, mountains, glaciers, lakes, and the flora and fauna that make it an ideal site for ecotourism and adventure sports. When I went, there were three of us: my father, my older brother, and myself. It was a trip of literal connection and disconnection. Since I was a child, we have been taking these trips to the extremes of the north or south, and this was definitely one of the most attractive and beautiful ones. I fell in love with its flora and fauna; everything was beautiful, and I felt like I was breathing cle

Valle Del Elqui

 Hello everyone, good morning. Today I want to tell you about a trip I took in Chile, a trip I've been making since I was a child, to the Elqui Valley in the Coquimbo region. This place makes me feel very safe, and I've been visiting it since I was 4 years old. We always stay in the same cabins owned by friends of my dad. This place stands out for its magnetism and complete disconnection from the world. It's also where various rituals and nature worship take place. It has many rivers, and where we stayed, we could open the windows and enjoy the sunny view, especially in the summer when the hills were right in front of us. It's beautiful. We would sometimes go down to the river, which had very cold water. My dad and I would go jogging, but I would get tired quickly because of the scorching heat there. After jogging, we would always jump into the river to cool off. The valley has hidden spots and places to have a lovely afternoon camping and having a picnic. The valley ha

My brother Sebastián

 Hello everyone, today is a very cold and cloudy Sunday. I hope you are all doing well. Today, I'll talk about something closer to my heart, a family member I love dearly. I have three brothers, and I love them unconditionally. If I had to choose who to talk about today, I'll talk about my oldest brother, Sebastián, who is nearly 30 years old. Seba is someone with whom I share an incredible bond. We have different parents, but my dad gave him his last name, so he's practically my little brother. I'm very proud of who he has become. Seba was always a very kind and talented graffiti artist. He loved outdoor activities like biking and climbing, and we often competed in our love for climbing. As he grew older, Seba studied expedition engineering in ecotourism at the university, I believe that's the name of his degree, but that's basically Seba for you. He went to the mountains, climbed, cycled—everything related to the outdoors. After university, Seba landed beautif

A lenguage

 Hello everyone, good morning. Today, once again, it's a Wednesday blog post, and I will talk to you about my journey in learning the English language. Well, my initial exposure to this language was in my school, as we had English as a subject from a young age. The truth is that I found it quite easy to understand and practice. I had this subject from 1st grade to 12th grade. Then, in 7th grade, we were divided into two levels of English: advanced and intermediate. I always, and I mean always, stayed in the intermediate level haha. I couldn't seem to move up because I was quite disorganized in class, so sometimes I didn't understand what we were doing. But in high school, I became more serious about it. We had written tests, oral presentations, quizzes, and more. Besides, I got along well with my English teachers over the years, so I enjoyed it. Outside of the classroom, currently, I sometimes converse with my boyfriend in English, and he is quite knowledgeable, so he helps
