Cultural snapshot

 From The Guardian article I read about the cultural radar of Arlo Parks where he comments about the recognition he is given, the Mercury Prize, the comments in Paris about the Nobel Prize, his inspiration in chili peppers and the Red Hot Chili Pepper band.



One of the aspects that is discussed in the article and that caught my attention is the mention of the American rapper Tyler The Creator. Arlo appears in this rapper's documentary and they comment on the influence and importance that these two artists had in the neighborhood. It caught my attention because I've been a fan of Tayler The Creator for some time now, and I really like his music.

  Here are some things that are on my cultural radar these days:

  • Every morning when I eat my breakfast I watch a Venezuelan podcast called "Escuela de Nada", I have been applying this ritual since the pandemic, I really like this podcast and the guests they bring to speak.


  • In my spare time I try to watch at least one episode of the Ahsoka series that just came out on Disney Plus, I'm a huge fan of the Star Wars saga.
  • Every day after classes at the University I go to train at the Universidad San Sebastián sports center, which is 10 minutes by bike from my house, where I train for an hour in the pool and then for an hour in the gym.
  •   Before I go to sleep I watch football news on the YouTube channel "Craks", a channel I've been watching for about 4 years where they give you a daily summary of everything that happens in European football.


  • Every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday I play Soccer. On Sundays I play in the Colon Oriente league where I play in the second division of the Miramontes club.
  • My and my family like to go to the movies a lot, if there are good movies to see, with my family we always try to go on weekends.

  Since I was very little I have had a lot of interaction with English, my mother is an English teacher, she in fact lived and studied for a time in the United States. He always spoke to me and my brothers at home in English or rather in a kind of Spanglish. Despite having a mother who speaks the language perfectly and who has always spoken it to me since I was little in English, it was never easy for me to speak it, I understand it very well, when my mother speaks to me in English at home I understand her. perfect, but I have a hard time formulating the sentences to establish a conversation. In the end it is my fault for not being able to speak the language better and develop in it, because the truth is that I have never put the proper effort into being able to learn it well. As I said before, it is easy for me to understand it most of the time, but when it comes to establishing a conversation I get very confused since I do not have adequate knowledge of the grammar nor do I practice

Something I enjoy doing outdoors

  I am a person who really enjoys doing activities and things outdoors. I like to ride a bicycle, I move around by bike a lot during my day to day life. After university every day I go home, I take my bike and I go to train outdoors, also on the weekends I go out for a bike ride around the city. I play soccer 3 times a week, on Sundays I play in a league in my community where I play right back. In the summer I like to climb hills and visit natural places, in the winter I don't like it very much because the truth is that I don't like the cold at all. Year after year I try to visit a new place that I don't know. One of the hills and trails that I like the most and that is also nearby is Las Aguas de Ramón. I like all of these activities a lot because I am a person who likes to be active and always do physical activity, I also like it because I enjoy the sunny days, the fresh air (although here in Santiago it is not so fresh) and also because I don't I like being at home i

In this week off from studies I took the time to do various activities and spend time with friends. During the recess week I took advantage of resting, working and training, here I count 5 activities that I did from Friday to Tuesday the 19th. 1. Tongoy Last Friday together with 3 friends we traveled to the beach, specifically to the town called Tongoy, here we went to eat at La Caleta, we walked along the beach, we bought things to have a drink called Terremoto. We stayed in Tongoy until Sunday. 2. Seviche and ostiones Continuing in Tongoy. While we were here with my friends we went down several times to eat seviche and ostiones at La Caleta where they prepare everything right there in front of you. Everything is very fresh and delicious, whenever I go to Tongoy I like to eat there in La Caleta. 3. Travel by Car Since we left on Friday for the beach we made a very long trip by car since it took us 5 and a half hours from Santiago to Tongoy, after Tongoy we traveled 2 hours to Pichidan
