My name is Nicole, I am 22 years old and I am chilean. I was born in Cabildo, Valparaíso and I lived in this city until I was 18, then I moved to Santiago to study arquitecture. My family in my dad's side belongs to the original Mapuche people. I am the older sister of two brothers and one sister, Victor, Santiago and Sarita. During my school years I played many sports such as basketball, table tennis and handball. The only sport I didn't play was volleyball because I find it a bit boring. Another of my favorite hobbies at school was drawing. One of my favorite hobbies now in the university is playing futsal and try new food. My biggest dream is to be able to travel and see many not so common places like the North of Rusia or Siberia.

A Book

 A book that I would like to recommend is El Tunel written by the Argentine writer, painter and physicist Ernesto Sabato. I remember reading it when I was 17 in the summer. This book was recommended to me by a friend from school who is a passionate reader and always shares with me what he is reading. I must say that at first it didn't catch my attention much, but after reading it I was fascinated. In this psychological novel, Sabato immerses us in the mind of a murderer, a mentally ill person, a man blinded by his desires and insecurities that are cooked in that Pandora's box known as the mind, who executes hurtful actions disguised as love. I think one of the aspects that I liked the most was that as the story develops you sometimes doubt what is real or if what is happening is in the protagonist's mind. I highly recommend reading it if you like more psychological novels.

 In theory, I think I started learning English since I had the curiosity to start listening to music on my own. At school I had English since first grade but I was never good, in fact I had very bad grades (lol). I remember that I always really liked listening to music and in fourth grade I asked my mother to buy me an mp4 where I placed endless folders with songs mainly in English, so I was curious to know and understand what the lyrics said by looking for them translated. To Spanish. I think it was where I actually began to become familiar with English, not necessarily. What is easiest for me is to listen and understand what they are telling me in English, especially under pressure. But what is most difficult for me is speaking in English, it gives me a kind of mental block and I don't know how to express everything fluently. Although I practice very little, I still look for the translations and lyrics of my favorite songs so I can learn them in English. In fact, the funniest...

My Cultural Radar (Part 2)

Fashion Lately I have been very interested in Bloke Core, it is based on incorporating sports-related garments into our more informal outfits. The essential item of clothing is a soccer jersey, so lately I have become a collector of soccer jerseys, mostly with retro designs. Music As for music, lately I've been listening to Jeff Buckley and the songs I liked the most are So Real. I like the depth and sensitivity of his lyrics and something curious is that this artist has inspired groups and singers like MUSE, Chris Cornell and Radiohead. Book A book that I am currently reading and that I loved is “ Mujeres que corren con lobos” by Clarissa Pinkola. It shows a fascinating mosaic of intercultural stories and myths that offers us a new vision of the feminine, analyzing the archetype of the wild woman. Movie Lately I have been very interested in the movie Call me by your Name . Although it is not a bad film, watching it lately has made me very interested in the era in which it take...
