About Climate Change

The phenomenon not much phenomenon, because Earth´s climate has changed throughout history; our current problem is about the velocity of this change as the result of human activities, pollution and over population (humans in conclusion). Global temperature rises, oceans warms, ice sheets are melting, glacials retreats, sea level rises and extreme weather events are more often.  Climate change is also known as global warming, literally means Earth is warming up as the result of excessive greenhouse effect gases accumulated in the atmosphere. So, talking about solutions: we need to drastically reduce the emission of these gases; forego fossil fuels and replace them with renewable sources of energy, consume less and be conscious about the objects of our consumption, eat smart (because agriculture is also responsible, principally by agrochemicals and production of meat) and birth control are some of the measures to be taken in order to decrease our negative impact.

Looking for the north

Back in 2014 I went backpacking to the north of Argentina with some friends. After travelling for some weeks ,  we went to Iruya, a village into the mountains whose only access is by crossing a river (there isn´t a bridge). A day after our arrival we met some Argentinean road friends with whom  we decided to make a trekking to San Isidro, another village even more hidden into the mountains. It was a hard path and we had to cross the river again. On our way back as it had started raining and the river had risen making crossing impossible we had to ask a local person for shelter ; we slept wet on a cold floor. The next morning, Pablo, the local guy who gave us shelter guided us to Pantipampa, another road to Iruya.
This is the picture that Pablo took us at the top of Pantipampa, after watching some wild horses and a condor from 5 meters of distance (awesome!). We were not condors but we were flying. I love this photo because it reminds me of the adventure in that beautiful place and the beautiful people I met.

Longing for Iruya <3

Immigrants

Now a days technology has enabled posible not only communication and information around the world ; you can reach any place you want to (if you can afford it). While trying to understand the topic of immigration I have thought about almost every point of view; new policies implemented are a guvernment effort for better control and a subsequent better lifestyle, because people who gets into the country with permanence intentions needs to be taken care of as any native citizen (food, services, health, among others) and that is something to be regulate. But there is another matter as important as basic services: inclusion. Humans need to understand that we are all equal and that the Earth has no owner. It´s not only an economic issue but also about the borders on peoples minds.

A desalambrar,

My career

The first thing that I dreamed about being polyglot, weird for a 7 year old girl, but I´ve always been fascinated by laenguages and wanted to learn them all (I still do); an uncle taught me the specific word. While I was growing up I did not really worry about my future career, although I wanted to win a Nobel Prize, hopefully the literature one, but any other one was ok. I ended up at Agronomy trying to conjugate the lifestyle that I wanted to have with the things that I enjoy, it was clear for me that humanities do not give me the way of life I wiched for, so I went to the other way I had always symphatised with and loved: Nature. There are no regrets.

My Autobiography, short version.

Hi! I´m Angela Hernández, and this is my blog, some work to learn English. In order to introduce myself I must say: I was born in Santiago, Chile in the 90’s (93, not to feel that old). I studied at a Catholic school till 12 years old and then I moved to Rancagua for two years. Turning back to Santiago I studied at a public school and now I´m studying Agronomy. That´s the academy. Some other times I love knowing new places and living new experiences; traveling is definitely my favorite hobby but is not as usual as others, such as running or meditating, dancing, reading and listening to music. The resumé of my life till now and a little from myself, for more knowledge keep on this blog. Regards!

My favourite piece of technology

Hi!, talking about technology and things that millenials are supposed to like, I do realize that I do not really have any favorite piece of technology, which would mean that I like it, and it doesn`t, is just that technology is part of life as we know it. But, if I have to choose a common piece of technology it should be the camera, mostly because it documents and records images, so I find it useful. I  also enjoy looking at old pictures or records (not old ones too), it`s interesting how technology can turn into art by the right eye, thanks to a camera we have been able to appreciate movies, and images always complement well  even ornamentally.  So, even when I use a smartphone and computer daily, more than cameras I prefer the contribution of the latter ones and would rescue it from fire before the computer, kind of meaning my favorite one.
