Antes de comenzar a contarles las extraordinarias aventuras en las que he estado involucrada quisiera contarles algunas cosas acerca de mí. Soy adicta a la Coca Cola Light. Hace 2 semanas que no bebo ni un sorbo de esta maravillosa bebida. Mi decisión de dejarla radica en una suerte de apuesta que hice conmigo misma. Decidí que no bebería alcohol o Coca Light ni fumaría durante tres meses. Es un desafió personal que tiene más que ver con desintoxicarme y, por supuesto, bajar de peso. Dejar de tomar alcohol ha sido difícil ya que la mayoría de mis amigos intentan convencerme, en eventos sociales, que tome alcohol. Creo que no es tan difícil pasarlo bien sin tomar alcohol, el problema está en que se te termina calentando la boca y al final de la noche no deseas nada más que tomarte una chelita bien fría. El tema del cigarro no ha sido tan difícil ya que al parecer ambos vicios, fumar y tomar, van de la mano. Acepto eso si que me muero por fumar un pucho y tomarme un café.
Me encanta la palta, más conocida como aguacate en otras culturas. Creo que todo sabe mejor con un poco de palta, en este sentido soy muy chilena. Me encanta la comida cacera y en especial la comida chilena. También me encanta el pan, no sé si como país somos segundos en el ranking de cuántos kilos de pan per cápita consumimos ¿? Me encanta el pan chileno, las hallullas, marraquetas y dobladitas…
Me considero una persona normal. Me gustan los huevos (¡por favor no mal piense!) en general, en especial los Eggs Benedict. Me gusta tomarle fotos a las personas de espalda, mirar cómo la gente camina, ponerme crema en los pies antes de ir a dormir (lo sé…algo extraño) y el acento británico; entre otras cosas. Mi trabajo ideal sería viajando alrededor del mundo. Me fascina esa sensación de alivio, mezclado con felicidad y tranquilidad que uno siente después de correr 10 kilómetros. Mi color favorito es el café y soy adicta a las series televisivas, en especial las series americanas. Me encantan los libros de ficción, sobre todos lo que tratan de abogados o de misterios sin resolver. El olor a fritanga también me fascina. Amo la comida. Y siempre lloro cuando hay comerciales con perros, ancianos y bebés (en chileno “guaguas”).
Suelo soñar despierta. Siempre estoy creando escenarios imposibles donde consigo al chico que me gusta y termino con ese final feliz. Me obsesiono hasta el punto de no poder más, sobre todo con los hombres. Sobre analizo las cosas demasiado. Dejo de pensar en el chico que me gusta solo cuando conozco a alguien nuevo. Soy una fiel creyente que “un clavo saca a otro clavo”. Soy súper relajada en lo que respecta a las relaciones sentimentales, lo que no significa que no deje a mi cerebro analizar una y otra vez las situaciones. No puedo cantar y mucho menos aprenderme las letras de las canciones. Jamás he podido y jamás podré aprenderme la letra de mi canción favorita. Soy terriblemente honesta y prefiero hablar las cosas de frente y no dejar las emociones adentro. Muchas veces sufro de verborrea. Odio no saber qué está pasando. ¿Por qué pretender que las cosas están bien cuando ya no sientes lo mismo? Odio que la gente me trate como una delicada flor. Prefiero que me digan las cosas a la cara y si se terminó dímelo ahora para poder comenzar a olvidar. Si no te gusto dímelo y ya. De nada me sirve que trates de no herirme, el dolor es parte de la vida y honestamente prefiero saber a vivir en la oscuridad de la ignorancia.
Creo que con esta descripción es suficiente. ¿Algo extraño que te guste o no te guste?
This blog is about dreaming, living and travelling. Everything that I write is based on experience. The only objective of this blog is to share.

Introduction to crazy town
These are a few things you should know about me before we go any further. I am addicted to diet coke; it has been 2 weeks since I last had a zip of this “wonderful” drink, two weeks because I decided to challenge myself. For three months I will be free of alcohol, diet coke and cigarettes. The first item has proven difficult as my friends, wherever I go, try to convince me to “have fun” and drink a little. To those out there that believe you cannot have fun without alcohol I agree with you! I won’t lie; it hasn’t been pretty or easy. Yes, you can probably have fun without losing your inhibitions, but god; it is amazing the role that alcohol plays in social situations…Anyway; it is nice to remember everything that happen the night before. As for the cigarettes, even though I haven’t smoke since I started the bet with myself I have realised I turned into a passive smoker. But hey, it’s so easy not to smoke when you’re not drinking. These two vices go hand in hand. I do crave, from time to time, some coffee and a smoke.
So, coming back to what I was saying. I love avocados, for me everything is better with some avocado, let’s face it I am very Chilean in this respect. I also love bread, Chilean bread, real bread from the bakery not that disgusting thing that comes in a package! I go crazy for hallullas, marraquetas and dobladitas…among other types of bread.
I'm just a normal girl, who likes normal things...I love eggs in general (especially Eggs Benedict). I like taking pictures of people's backs, I don’t know why but I feel you can capture so much more, plus if you look bad from the back there’s something wrong with you, seriously! I also enjoy watching people walking away, have you noticed how people wear off their shoes? I know this one you won’t understand but before going to bed I like putting lotion in my feet. I am crazy about British accent. My dream job would be travelling around the world. I studied translation. I like the feeling you get after running 10k. My favourite colour is brown, I know it’s weird! If I could I would spend hours watching TV series. I can't resist a good thriller book. I love the smell of fried food. I'm very passionate about food. My philosophy is "don't judge a book by its cover". I cry with TV commercials that feature dogs, old people or babies.
I daydream quite a lot. I tend to create these impossible scenarios where I, for some strange reason, get the man, you know that silly happily ever after… I get obsessed with men; I only stop thinking about them when I meet the next replacement. I am very chilled when it comes to relationships but god if you only new what’s going on in my mind there is enough to write a book. I can’t sing, not because I have a horrible voice but because I just can’t learn the lyrics. I really suck at learning lyrics… I am painfully honest; I prefer to speak thing out rather than leaving my emotions inside. I hate not knowing what’s going on. Why pretend everything is ok when you’re not feeling the same? I hate being patronized. I hate people treating me like I’m a delicate flower that’s going to break. Just tell me already so I can move on. If you don’t like something just say so already. I hate people trying not to hurt you. Let’s face it pain is part of life.
Ok, so I think I have said enough about nothing. Anything weird you like or don’t like doing?

Hey, who knows!
I have no idea what I'm doing. This is the first time I write a blog so
let's see how it goes. I apologize in advance for any mistake in grammar or
spelling as this is not my mother tongue. I want to start by saying my
intention is to make this blog as painfully honest as possible (like me). There
will be no room for shenanigans, well maybe just a little bit!
This blog is about daydreaming, living and travelling. I will not attempt to explain why I have decided to start this blog or why I want to talk about these topics, I will only say I can finally take it out of my “bucket list”. The inspiration for this blog came to me in a dream, that’s the first lie, sorry! I have no muse nor did I have a premonition about writing this blog. It will probably suck! But hey, who knows?
