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 has an exciting history, as Gabriela Mistral spent a lot of her childhood there, and you can visit her former house as a tourist attraction. It's also known for its incredibly fertile soil, and the farmers there have no complaints, aside from the beautiful climate.


For accommodation, you have several options, including cabins, hotels, hostels, or campgrounds, depending on your preference. There are plenty of rustic and gourmet dining options, all of which are in harmony with the valley's natural and hippie-like character. I love it because I have wonderful memories from my childhood, and to this day, I visit this place in the summer.

I will attach some Google images so you can get a sense of the beauty of this valley. Go visit! 







See you in the next blog.

The Poke Bowl

 Hello everyone in this new blog, today I will tell you about my favorite food lately. First, let me give you some context about poke bowls. Poke means 'to cut' in Hawaiian and refers to square pieces of marinated raw fish, usually tuna, which are then placed on top of rice and complemented with vegetables and sauces. This dish originates from Hawaii and is typical there. Many people say it is very exotic but also delicious.  To make a poke bowl, we need to start with our preferred base, which could be rice, quinoa, or another grain. Then we add the protein on top of this base, in my case, I prefer tuna, which is cut into small pieces. Next, we move on to the rest of the ingredients, which are the vegetables. In my case, I add avocado, cucumber, carrot, and scallions. Then we can optionally add some tropical fruit like pineapple. Finally, we sprinkle toasted sesame seeds as toppings. Once our bowl is ready, we add ceviche or soy sauce as dressing.  I love this dish because I en

An interesting trip

 Hello everyone on this new rainy day. In this post, I will tell you about a beautiful trip I took in the summer of 2023. I went to Europe for the first time with my boyfriend. We first arrived in Barcelona and stayed at his aunt and uncle's house. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect; it truly felt like another world. We spent several days exploring almost all of Barcelona, a city full of joy and excitement on every corner. It amazed me how interested people were in fashion here. It was beautiful how people's personalities were reflected through their clothing. There was a street called Paseo de Gracia where all the luxury stores like Prada, Chanel, Cartier, etc. were located, and well-dressed people casually strolled with their shopping bags – something we don't see in Chile due to the risk of theft. We visited many cultural monuments and architectural wonders, like Gaudí's creations. His works are stunning and heavily inspired by organic and natural for
