 We have stayed at home most of the quarantine. There are four of us in my household and in the last two years only I have worked sporadically. The vast majority of our income has been from my mom's savings, my grandmother's pension, government bonds and AFP withdrawals. I doubt very much that we can improve right now, not before the worst stage of the pandemic is over. In our country the government used the pandemic to overlap repressive measures against protests against it in between health policies, with measures such as curfews. Restrictive measures have also been tailored to the needs of large economic groups, lifting quarantines on large commercial dates and giving enormous benefits for the operation of non-essential companies. I believe that from all pandemics there can be great opportunities for the development of good social policies, such as social protection systems and the public health system. A century ago, during the tuberculosis pandemic, building regulation...

My best vacation was a few years ago, in 2019, when my ex-girlfriend and I went camping and touring the Achibueno River, in the middle of the mountain range, east of Linares. We went through different sectors of the river, such as the pejerrey bridge  and La Puntilla. We biked down from the mountain range and camped 2 or 3 days in each site at the river's edge. We saw many native trees and endemic species. We found southern acorns, native oaks, and a giant willow tree growing by the river. We even saw a pudú and were able to catch a small spotted frog. One of the things I liked most about the Achibueno River is that it is a river with warmer water than the tributary of other rivers in the central zone and they have natural pools that had small shrimp in them. We stayed a little more than two weeks and to return we also cycled along route L-45 and half way back we took a van to Linares. It was a beautiful trip where we were able to get to know and appreciate much of the na...

  I would like to travel to Argentina, since part of my maternal family comes from there, which would be very useful for me to travel around the country and have a longer vacation. Ever since I was little we have had the idea of traveling with my family, but we have never made it happen. They are a country generally known for having a high inflation economy and having been intervened by IMF loans. But they have many good things, like having cheaper books or a great gastronomic heritage in the preparation of pasta, because of the Italian immigrants. As I said before I would like to be able to make several trips to the interior of Argentina when we go there. Our family lives in Buenos Aires and Mar del Plata, so we could tour both cities without spending a lot of money on hotels. We would also like to be able to visit natural places like the pampas and travel to the north of the country to visit the Iguazu Falls, which are located on the border between Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil....
