  Hello everyone! I study Geography and it is a very beautiful career, it has everything you need for your personal and academic training, from numbers to the social area and everything put into practice through the experience that means the field trips, where you can see and work in practice what you studied in theory. As for the career program, it is quite complete as I said before, it presents the study of various areas that complement the development of the professional. Perhaps if I had to modify something of this it would be that in the more scientific areas there is a certain correlation from one to the next, but that does not happen at the level of social or human geography, in that sense, a greater correlation could mean greater ease when choosing an area to work in. I would structure a less burdensome workload that encourages camaraderie and mutual support rather than competition. As for the FAU facilities, I think they are old and that is why they are structurally defici...

 The future scares me a lot, mainly because of the speed at which nature and the agents that are elemental to life on earth have been destroyed. It scares me to think that capitalism will not come to an end and end up destroying itself; it scares me that its predatory advance will deepen and end up destroying even the smallest form of life on earth. In spite of everything, I have confidence in the capacity of human beings and nature to resist adversity and if I had to think of a futuristic world, I imagine a natural scenario as it was originally on this planet.  Where the waters can run free without human intervention, from the mountains to the sea. Where animals can peacefully inhabit their natural environments, without being destroyed by humans. A world where humans have learned to live in harmony with nature, to build in a sustainable way, to think of the city in a more natural way, with less pavement and without buildings. If this were the scenario, I would love to live th...

 Hello everyone! Today I am going to tell you about my dream job. I don't really know what area of geography I would like to work in, however I would like to work outside of Santiago, in the south of Chile, in a rural or urban area.  In a rural place I imagine that I will work in an organization that does field work, maybe risk and socio-environmental vulnerability studies, or working with communities helping to address water scarcity, or in indigenous territories contributing in their struggle for recognition and respect and care for nature.  In an urban area I would like to work with informal territories, working to end housing inequality, for social and environmental justice.  I would like to always be able to work in the field and hopefully never in an office, to travel a lot doing studies of geomorphology and biogeography always with the objective of contributing to the community. As for the salary, I would really like to earn enough to live peacefully, more for...

Hello everyone! Today I'd like to tell you about one of my hobbies, which is crochet knitting. The first time I picked up a crochet needle was when I was a little girl, however I didn't start knitting until I was about nineteen years old. I started by knitting small squares guided by youtube tutorials, then scarves, hats and mittens. It was then that I began to understand that there were different types of material to knit: wool for warm clothes, yarn blends with wool for spring garments, and finally I discovered the wonderful cotton yarn. Cotton yarn, besides being useful for many things, is used to make "amigurumis", a type of weaving (I think Japanese) with which you can create figures like animals, dolls and whatever you want! I started knitting everything I could imagine with this technique, and when I had my daughter I decided to create for her a collection of powerful women and native animals, that's what I try to do now, although I really have little time....

Hello! today I want to talk to you about an area of study in geography, which is my career. Water scarcity concerns several areas of geography, on the one hand those that are dedicated to water, also those that study territories, also social and political geography and on the other hand, closely related to environmental geography. First of all, it is important to say that water scarcity is obviously related to a climatic factor, which is evidenced in the form of drought, a product of climate change that can be seen worldwide.  However, the concept of water scarcity is not only related to the "lack of water", but also to the political management and the context of productive social relations that sustain this lack of water for the affected territories and populations. The concept of "socially constructed" water scarcity then emerges, in that sense, we study and work with the ways in which social factors determine or exacerbate the way in which certain territories mus...

Maihue Lake I didn't go on vacation  recently due to the fact of the pandemic world moment, but surely everyone is in the same situation. Anyway my best vacation ever was in 2017, when I went to the Chilean south. Anyway, my best vacation ever was in the summer of 2017 when I went to Chilean south. I traveled around various towns of Los Lagos and Araucanía, I got to know some of people and their life stories, it was fantastic and a cool experience.                                                                                                                                       ...
