If I have to talk about my best holiday ever, I would say that  It happened in 2013. I was just starting a new period in my life, getting back to the University, and one of my best friends had just moved to Temuco with her girlfriend at the time. David is a very tall and cheerful American, who I met at work during 2010. We became best buddies, and I helped him a lot getting used to our culture and language.
During January, he invited me to stay for a couple of weeks down south, and go on a trip to different places, with the idea to trek at a very interesting place, hidden in the mountains close to Puerto Montt, the name was Cochamó.
Cochamó is a beautiful place located near the small town of Cochamó. It was originally a passing trail between Chile and Argentina, used by Gauchos in order to move their cattle between seasons. In recent years, It was rediscovered by hikers and mountain climbers, so the people there were from all over the world. The only challenge was the 4 hour walk that you had to make in order to get to the camp. We had to go through a rainstorm in the middle of a thick forest, I will never forget that. It was a great trip and a great memory, today my friends are no longer together, so when I see those pictures I can remember all the good times we spent together. Also, this kind of holidays shows you how you can relate to a new context, and discover new things about yourself.

 ...Now It is your turn. Choose one of the two topics and answer each question inside your story.

Tip: Try including the vocabulary we practised last class!

The Minimum amount of words is 170. (Mine was 272, so go figure)

Include some pictures to describe, and don't forget to comment on your Classmates posts (Choose 3, plus mine) ;)

Iquitos, Peru.

If you ask me, I have always dreamt about going for a long holiday trip around the world. I know it is no easy task, but I really like the idea of moving constantly from place to place, meeting new people and adapting to their customs. Some years ago, I backpacked to the south of Peru, It was a wonderful experience. I loved every bit about it. The beautiful sights, the warmth of the people, and all the fun you can find even when you are on a budget!

If I had the time and money I would love to get back there, but this time I would choose to go north, to Iquitos, and stay a whole season in the jungle.
Iquitos is the capital city of the Loreto department, it has no road access, so you can only access it by plane or boat.
Once there, I'd really like to get on a boat trip on the amazon river, find a tourist lodge that offered jungle tours and finally, just spending some quiet time.

I am aware that this region is one of Peru's poorest, so I cannot ignore this fact. If possible, I'd like to help people maybe with some English teaching, and help them to increase the tourism.
A big problem here is that there are not strong laws protecting the forest nor the wildlife. I would really like to meet the people working in conservation.

On a personal level, I would use this trip to disconnect myself from everyday life, and also to take  pictures, drawings and create paintings about the people living and working next to one of the last natural reservoirs.

My jungle brother.


Fitzcarraldo (1982), filmed in Iquitos, you should definitely watch this movie!



So, What do you think about my choice? Please leave a comment below!


Now, It is your turn, If you had the time and means to travel, What country would you like to visit?

Write at least 160 words.


Tips: Write down at least 3 or 4 keywords, and create sentences related to these ideas. This is the backbone of your post.

Do not use a translator, It is awkward, inaccurate, and very boring!

Instead, try using this dictionary: www.wordreference.com

Relax, be creative and have fun!
