GPOY

The photo I chose is about five years old, but I chose it because it was a very strange day and it allows me to remember that moment. To begin with, I am not a person who likes to take photos and if I see a camera I try to hide anywhere.

That day the weather was sad, there was a warm air rocking my clothes and all the people were inside their houses with tea in hand. That same air convinced me to go out, however, I let myself be carried away with only what I was wearing, several people told me that I was crazy to go out with shorts and a T-shirt. But I felt hypnotized, in this way I left without having a fixed destination and my feet took me to Cerro Quicalcura in the Andes, also known as Cerro de la Virgen, being there I felt as if time had stopped. I didn't feel cold, i didn't feel hungry, it was just me and my conscience, I spent about 5 hours there. It is worth mentioning that in that period I felt bad because I was going through a rough patch and doing that freed me up a bit, since I was able to internalize myself and be aware of my surroundings. Once the catharsis was done, I began to feel better and I felt that time was running slowly again, a few drops began to fall on my body and that sensation was the most wonderful, since I felt as if the sky was cleaning me, it took everything. my pains to the earth freeing me from that cage where my thoughts reside. I stayed one more hour to feel the rain in its maximum splendor, and when it got dark I began to descend without worries and to live life in every little moment.

Postgraduate Studies

 Well, I have some clear ideas and some not so much, but I’m sure that within my graduate programs will be archaeobotany, archaeoastronomy and underwater archaeology. I understand that most of these areas I find in Europe, specifically in Spain and others in America like for example in Mexico so I would love to study abroad, but only if the conditions allow me. In the last few years the pandemic has been a very decisive factor in achieving certain things. As to how I would like to conduct these studies, it would be in practice, so whether or not I should move to these places, My plans are to carry out work while I study these areas in order to gradually complement and generate a thesis that addresses these topics. I find that these areas will allow me to help with the hyperactivity I mentioned in my past blog, as it would make me be in constant movement and I would not have room to get bored. I love everything that has to do with nature and as is the understanding of the human being before this, that’s why these areas attract my attention.

As a very freak fact, perhaps at some point in my life I entered to study veterinary technician or veterinarian as such, since I pity not being able to help animals when they need it most, and in my life I have encountered numerous horrible situations that I would not like to repeat. I mean, I don’t see this as a way to make money, I just would as a way to help those who don’t have the ability to speak Uwu.

Your Future Job

Ever since I was little I’ve dreamed of my dream job, and the truth is that I had thought that with archaeology I would make a living, but at one point in my life I was disturbed and thought that having money I would be able to be happy without worries, so for a year I believed that studying engineering was going to be my ideal job, but it turned out that it was not for me, after several psychologists I returned my way and I decided to return to what I had always considered as my ideal work "ARCHAEOLOGY"

Thinking about what work I would like to have, I would DO MANY, MANY EXCAVATIONS. I like very much the materiality that can appear since everything speaks for itself and also allows you to interpret our ancestors. Being somewhat hyperactive this work must be yes or yes outdoors, adding that I like to be too long in contact with nature then I could not stand being locked up.

I’ve always seen myself traveling back and forth so my second home would be a plane, but I know that to achieve that I must try very hard.... I will do everything I can to make it happen and not be small in the face of this. As I mentioned before, before I gave more importance to money, but now I am a little indifferent to how much I will charge. While this allows me to live in a house with my fellow animals, I will be happy. In addition, it is not necessary to earn too much money to travel, since there are even some works financed by private companies or even by the state that give me free tickets to carry out an investigation.

A Meal or Food You Really Like

My favorite food is ramen, it is a Japanese food composed of various things, within the main thing that makes up ramen is noodles, soup and vegetables. this has a simple preparation, although in some cases there are difficult ingredients to get, such as sesame oil , shiitake mushrooms and miso paste, however, you can do without these to not complicate life so much.

A spectacular preparation that we do with my girlfriend is, make a vegetable broth , while we chop the onion and shiitake mushrooms, in addition we add 3 chopped garlic, these are sautéed with sesame oil and normal or olive oil. After the onion becomes a little transparent we add the vegetable broth and hope it boils over high heat for 5 minutes and then lower the flame in half, Then we add soy sauce to taste and let it boil over medium or low heat for a long time, the better, because this way we generate that the umami is concentrated and the broth has a better flavor and more concentrated.Once we are soon to serve add the miso paste to the creation and let rest a little
.On the other hand, toppings must be prepared to accompany our creation. We chose between broccoli, corn, chives , dragon tooth, carrot, nori seaweed, portobello or normal mushrooms, among many others. Once the soup and toppings are ready, boil water and add the noodles for about 2 minutes. After that you will dress up and taste that wonderful combination of flavors.

I chose this food, not only because of its flavor, but also because of what its preparation entails, since it is very entertaining to cook with my girlfriend, we are always talking and laughing when we make a mistake or forget to do something else. although in the times we’ve been too hungry, it’s not so funny hahahahah. This food has a nutritious effect on our bodies, since we eat a lot of vegetables and other things, although perhaps soy is what can negatively affect our body, so it should be used with caution. Undoubtedly this preparation is very great for the versatility that can be developed.

The cringe

One of the most embarrassing moments of my life was the first time I went fishing, I was around 9 years old, at that time we went to a river that passes in the Aconcagua (Place where I live). We went fishing from a stone that was quite high, I knew nothing of this world, then during the day I passed the fishing rod and explained how to put the hook, it was horrible to see how they used a small life like the worm to fish, So while they were explaining to me how to fish, they left a box with all the worms on the ground, and accidentally threw it in the water with my foot, all those little souls flew away and the person who was explaining me got mad at me and told me to throw myself in the river to look for them, I just panicked and didn’t react to anything, like a child, try to avoid the problems crying so that they would solve themselves. In the end, there was no fishing that day and I was never invited to fish again. But at least I was able to save the lives of those little creatures. Before it made me cringe to remember, but now I take it with a laugh.

The best holidays ever

For me, the best vacations I have had so far have been when I went to Peru, this happened in December 2017, I remember I was around a week and I did not manage to travel much because Peru is very large and extensive, but the important thing is that I went to know the vestiges of the Inca civilization, I toured the sacred city of Machu Picchu, as well as Sacsayhuamán, Moray, among other places that were near Cuzco and Aguas calientes. I remember that my sister recently graduated from college and had barely found a replacement job, but one day out of nowhere she comes and mentions the idea of going, since we both dreamed of knowing this beautiful place. I was super impressed, because I never imagined that I would be proposed this type of invitation.

Once we were there, we could see the difference in height, so during the whole trip we kept coca leaves close by, so as to avoid altitude sickness as it is known. In addition, we were constantly walking, as all these ruins are on the heights and leave you really exhausted. I remember eating a lot of things, but keeping a margin with what I had already eaten because there were things that looked really appetizing and others that didn’t, so I was afraid to ask for something without knowing what it was, So I kept eating quinoa and chips for most of the trip.

A country you would like to visit

 The country I would like to meet is Japan, because it mixes technology and nature so well, even though in some of the busiest places they developed a lot of smog by the industry, it is also very interesting to see how they have created their culture. What I know about Japan is that there they have a culture that loves to read and thanks to that they have created different stories that have crossed the border and reached our hands, either in the form of books or manga. What I like most about this country is that they have a great cultural diversity, whether in the religious, culinary, historical sphere. I can't wait to learn from this culture in its entirety, to know its medicinal secrets and many other things. The bad thing about this country is that it's very demanding with its young people, and for this reason the annual suicide rate is huge. So if I have to choose I would go to live, but only once when I've already saved enough to keep myself a couple of years quiet, just knowing the place, but I'm not so closed to the idea of working there as an anthropologist either.
