Blog 3: Movies & Series

Imagen
     Hi everyone! For this blog I’m going to talk about a serie I watched recently, and I think everyone should see it, it’s “Down to earth” starring Zac Efron and Darin Olien.      It was released in Netflix this year on July 10, with Darin Olien also acting as executive producer. It’s an documentary series that deals with the journey of the protagonists through different parts of the world and focuses on themes of travel, life experience, nature, green energy and sustainable living practices.      I like it because it’s really interesting for its environmental and sustainable approach, with which they explore each city (or country) such as the free drinking water network and the "green walls" that are on the streets of London, or the geothermal energy system of Iceland, they even visit an eco-village that generates electricity and drinking water in a sustainable way in Costa Rica. Another aspect that I liked about the documentary was the ch...

Blog 2: My Best Concert Ever

Imagen
  Hi everyone! For today’s blog, I’m going to write about my best concert ever. I love to going to concerts, I’ve been to several. But I’m sure the best one is the one from Queens of the Stone Age (QOTSA) in the Movistar Arena, Santiago de Chile, 2014. It’s a North American rock band formed in 1996, It was founded by vocalist and guitarrist Josh Homme after the dissolution of his previous band Kyuss, of which he preserves the musical style oriented to heavy rock and stoner rock. At that time QOTSA was my favorite band, it was the first time I saw them live, and the concert tour was to present the last album they released called “… Like Clockwork” which I loved, so when they announced the concert a year before I said to myself that I couldn't miss it. The concert lasted 1 hour and 40 minutes and it was amazing, they played so many good old songs like “No One Knows”, “Little Sister”, “Make it with Chu” and “Go with the Flow”. From the new album they played almost all the songs,...

Blog 1: Costa Rica

Imagen
  Hi everyone! For the first blog of this semester I'm going to write about a country I’d like to visit, and that’s Costa Rica! It has a tropical climate characterized by high temperatures and abundant rainfall, which allows a wide variety of plants, animals, insects and birds. It is also of considerable historical and cultural interest due to its influences from South America, Spain and the Caribbean.  There are mainly 2 reasons why I am interested in going, one of them is the amount of fruits, vegetables and medicinal plants that grow in the territory, which allows a healthy and sustainable diet, and the production of natural medicines, which is very good. I love tropical fruits like mango, passion fruit, guava and coconut, and the plants that give them grow in Costa Rica. The other reason is related to my studies, the amount of biodiversity, especially birds, generates complex soundscapes in places furthest from cities, such as natural sanctuaries or protected parks. It has...
