A country i would like to visit

 Personally, when I think of places to travel I think of the history and revolutionary experience of a country rather than sightseeing in places with paradisiacal landscapes. For the same reason, one of my dreams in life is to travel to Nicaragua, more than anything else because of the history that took place in that country with respect to the Sandinista revolution. The first time I heard about Nicaragua was when I was in high school and I read about Ernesto Cardenal's liberation theology. Then I researched about the FSLN, and their revolutionary experience. It is a very interesting country because it has been able to resist for a long time both the North American invasion and later dictatorships. 

Anyway, if I go to nicaragua I would like to visit relevant historical sites such as the city of leon or managua, besides getting to know closely the local people and their culture. However, I would not stay to live or study because the Nicaraguan state does not provide many job or academic opportunities.

    It is really interesting the sociopolitical situation in Nicaragua even right now; there is some king of tense situation between de ideology from the goverment and the people who is not agree with them. And of course, the whole situation has their roots in the history of that country and it's people

    It’s so good to see that someone is interesting in a place for more than “vacation spirit”haha, and is also great to share cultural aspects with native people :)

    I can't think of Nicaragua, even more if we are talking about revolution, without hearing "Canción Urgente para Nicaragua" in my head. This country and it's people are a beautiful example of the latinoamerican resistane against the neoimperialism. Isn't kind of sad, or at lease ironic, that I had to say that in English?

    Your choice is very interesting, Nicaragua is one of the many countries that has resisted the invasions of the United States, a lot of social, cultural and political content. Regards!

    The reasons of your choice are very interesting, one of my favourites destinations is Cuba because of similar reasons: beyond agreeing or not, I am very interested in places that are outside the US domain.

Free Topic: The trumpet, my favorite instrument.

Imagen
 Playing this instrument relaxes me a lot so I do it at least once a day without fail. I usually do it in my room or in the dining room of my house, if we were in normal times I think I would be playing in some square in a band that I plan to form. The fact of playing trumpet I think it helps me to express what I can't say in words, the vibration makes my body to be in harmony with the outside. I could say that it is a therapy in times of pandemic, if I feel very anxious I distract myself from the studies improvising some happy or sad song depending on how I feel.  Something important I could mention, is that what inspired me to play this instrument was a song by chet baker called almost blue, which I listened to over and over again in my adolescence. Also miles davis was one of my references, with his rhythms and chaotic and innovative composition.

my english language challenges during this period.

Imagen
What I have liked the most about this experience of learning English at the university is that through the blogs I can expand my vocabulary in this second language. Another remarkable thing is that it has also helped me to detach myself a little from my career and think about, for example, vacations or things I like to do, relieving my anxiety a little bit. One of the aspects that I would like to improve in my English skills is to develop more vocabulary related to my career: sociology. For this, I think that more than talking to people, it is to read famous newspapers and renowned magazines in the social sciences.  On the other hand, outside of English classes I practice my English by reading international news and social science magazines. I also do it by watching videos that explain music theory. In my hobbies when I'm a bit stressed, I read English lyrics of my favorite songs and do a mini karaoke.
