The long and winding road

I was born in Santiago of Chile, in a place called San Bernardo. This is 20 km from downtown. San Bernardo is like a little town, and many years ago this area of Chile was “the countryside”. Today, Is there main streets with a many traditional little canals for the water circulation from rains (acequias, In english: waterways?) and you can see, in some spaces, bigs and olds houses (casas patronales), they are very representative from the style of life and economy that one or two hundred years ago. This style of life is called “hacienda model”. Today, many people say “I go to Santiago’ or ‘I went to Santiago”. This distance is important, when I studied at the University I was many hours of my life, in the peak hours, on public transport!.

I studied in A-127 high school. After, I studied in three universities, Engineering in Geography at the Universidad de Santiago (by vocation), Auditor Account at the Universidad Católica Blas Cañas (by money), Sociology and Master in Philosophy at the Universidad de Chile (by knowledge). May be you can think that this is a ‘vocational disorder’ :), but I think that all have a sense. For me, the university and knowledge is very practical for what I'm looking at some point. I believe in the interdisciplinary perspective too and the renacentist style of knowledge. Whatever.

I am the last 8 siblings (yes, 8!), that means I'm often uncle and great uncle. My parents live in San Bernardo.

In the last time, I knew the importance of some television series. I don’t knew that they are a good hobbies for me. I liked!. In the last summer I saw “House of Cards” (all the chapters), “ Breaking Bad” (I reached the third season) and “How i met your Mother” (second season). I like riding a Bike, the classic rock music (Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Deep Purple), the latino american music and the dance (free style). I like too the television serie: “In treatment” is about of work and life of a psychiatrist, Paul Weston (Gabriel Byrne).

  1. Hi Marcelo, I did not know that you were from San Bernardo, I know that town very well. When I was a high school girl, I visited it very often, my best friend Carolina used live there. Many years later, as a teacher, I worked in San Pablo Misionero High School. See you today...
