QUARANTINE HOBBIES


In this time of quarantine, I have had to occupy my free time in a different way than I usually did. Before I used to ride a lot, so this year what I have done is yoga, I watch youtube videos and follow routines. I'm not very consistent in the sport, but tried to do something from time to time. 

Another fun and relaxing hobby for me is cooking, especially baking. I have cooked yogurt cakes, cheese cakes, and birthday cakes. I really enjoyed making my dad's birthday cake, it was a chocolate cake filled with custard. Also for Mother's Day I made a blueberry cheesecake that was very delicious. In my house, just for fun I have cooked muffins, cookies and cupcakes. 



Another thing that I have done a lot is using twitter, that is my favorite social network. In general, I don`t like social networks very much, but I find twitter very interesting, because it`s an alternative way to find out, due most television channels are owned by large businessmen, so the editorial line greatly influences the emphasis and way in which news is reported and whether or not certain news is reported. 

Unfortunately, I couldn't upload photos of the cakes I made because I lost my cell phone. So I searched on the internet and that one looks a lot like the cake I made.

THE BEST HOLIDAY EVER

My most memorable vacation was when, after an internship in Frutillar, we decided with my classmates backpacking through southern Chile in the summer of 2015. We were a total of 8 people, so we felt quite safe to travel. Usually when we hitchhike, we split into groups of 4. Our first destination was Puerto Varas. I remember that we visited a really nice house museum and we also walked the streets that were around Llanquihue Lake, so the view was very beautiful. In that city we also joined two more backpackers with whom we went to Puerto Montt and camped on the beach.  Then we were lucky that a driver took us to Honropirén, including the barge. We were there for three days. I think it is one of the most beautiful places I have been. We were camping near a river and we fished with the help of a young local. Then we pass through Caleta Gonzalo and Chaitén. In Chaitén, some soldiers picked us up in a truck that apparently was transporting oil, because the guys who were in the...

CLIMATE CHANGE AND SOCIETY

Imagen
Nowadays we have experienced how the maximum temperatures during the summer have reached more extreme values, and in winter as the rainfall is more absent. These events are associated with what has been called global warming. In Chile, other effects related to climate warming are increased drought, increased forest fires, loss of biodiversity of plants and animals, melting of glaciers and rising sea levels.  Such effects in our country are due to its own characteristics such as low elevation coastal areas, semi-arid, arid and forested areas, susceptibility to natural disasters, areas prone to drought and desertification, urban areas with air pollution problems and mountainous ecosystems (Center for Climate and Resilience Research, 2020).  It was before the visible consequences of global warming that the scientist Wallace Smith Broecker popularized the term in a publication in the journal Science in 1975, which he mentions that the planet's climate could change in short periods...
