Today I'll talk about my favorite piece of technology. I have to admit that it was kind of difficult at first thinking about only one, as we have many technological devices that we use every day and make our life easier. To tell the truth I'm not a tech fan but if I had to choose one the  first that come to my mind is my camera.

I love taking photographs! ... since I can remember I've always had fun taking photos, when I was younger I used a small camera, but two years ago I  bought a professional one with more options to make photographs more precise. When I go on holiday I really enjoy to capture all those beautiful moments with people I love, and from landscapes I don't want to forget.   

For some people is annoying carrying a camera all the time, or they are worried because they want to look good in every photograph, but I like to take them in spontaneous moments, like when people is laughing or they look happy and they don't realize that I'm taking photos, so then they are surprised to see them. 
Some people say that the problem with the cameras nowadays is that you can take hundreds of photos and you never have time to see them all, and that's right but at least in my case I check them and after erase those who are not that good I put them on a CD, so every time we want to see them again we have them there.  

Of course I would like to learn how to use it properly because it has  many options and everything I know I have learned it on my own, so I'm thinking of taking a courses so I can take advantage of the full potential of the camera. 

... What about you? What is your favorite piece of technology?

I can't really remember if I had a dream job as a child ... I think I never really thought about professions until I was forced to it. However, after finishing high school I had some options like kinesiology or occupational therapy because I wanted to help people but then I realized that I can't deal with injuries so it was not my area at all. I'm not really good at maths either so I guess my options were always closer to the humanistic area.

One thing that helped me decide to become an english teacher is the fact that with English I had different job possibilities like working at schools, institutes, higher education, tourism, as english tutor, etc. Moreover I enjoyed teaching so I think I made the right choice. 

Before getting to Universidad de Chile I worked in other places like schools and english institutes but I didn't like all the bureaucracy of these institutions. At this moment I feel comfortable working with university students because they are responsible at this age and I like to meet people from the different faculties. 

I don't know for how long I'll be working here, or if I'll continue as a teacher for many years but there's one thing I know... at the age of fifty I'd like to move to the south of chile and work there in something different, I don't know... maybe something related with tourism. Well, this is for now maybe I'll change my mind in the future, you never know that's around the corner.

Hi everybody, in this post I'll introduce myself so you can know a little bit more about me. 

I was born in 1987 in Santiago and I’ve always lived here, although I would love to live in the south of Chile some day, nearby Pucón as there are beautiful and quiet landscapes.

I studied at Alberto Hurtado University where I made good friends. Teaching English is something I enjoy every day and now when I think about the decision I made of studying pedagogy, I realize I just don't regret it at all.

About my family I can tell you that I have a brother, he is twenty five years old and he is a philosophy teacher, I don't see him very often but when we have family meeting is great.  Something that all of us (my family and I) have common is that we love animals, that is why we adopted our pets, a cat and dog who live with my parents now and get along really well. 

About some of my hobbies I can tell that whenever I have some free time I enjoy painting, reading, listening to music and sometimes trying to play it with my drums. Also practicing sports like surfing, diving and running.  I try to go running twice or three times a week as this is something I can always adjust according to my schedule.

In general I really enjoy learning new things specially outdoor sports because I love nature and despite I do not consider myself a talkative person I like meeting people with interesting hobbies. There is always something new to be learned :)
