My biggest worry right now is getting an apartment in Santiago as soon as possible. I've been living in Valparaiso for over 5 years with my girlfriend and her daughter, but now we found it was time to move to the capital, mainly because we need to live better. Since I work in Santiago, I'm away from home all the week and I only see my girlfriend on weekends. Sure, we videochat every night but it's not the same. The problem is I don't have a lot of money, so it has to be an inexpensive apartment but I don't know how to get one of those AND live near downtown. On the other hand, I like Valparaiso very much and I've grown used to it. I see the ocean every day from my small apartment in Playa Ancha, so I'm sad to leave this city.

We've talked it over with my girlfriend and some close friends. We think it's the best decision we can make at this time. Right now I'm looking for ads in newspaper and on internet sites to look up apartments near downtown or with easy access to public transportation. I hope I get lucky!

I like tigers very much. In fact, I used to be a real tiger fan when I was younger. My bedroom was full of tiger posters and stuffed tigers. Now I usually watch videos on Youtube or TV nature programs where I can see them in their habitat. Tigers are predators, they hunt and kill their prey because they are carnivores. Most tigers live in the jungles of Africa and India, but they are an endangered species. That makes me sad. I don't like zoos a lot, but at least they are protected from poachers who hunt them for their beautiful fur. I hate that so much! That people should wear the fur of dead animals makes me angry. Animals should be left alone to live in peace.
If I were an animal, I think I would be a bear. I'm big and a bit slow. I don't like to hurry through life and I like to eat sweet things like honey. I think bears are cuddly, although they are dangerous animals when angry. I can get angry too sometimes.

My very best vacation was last year. I traveled to Mexico with my girlfriend and toured much of the country. It was so amazing and we stayed there for almost a month! We visited the Mayan pyramids in Yucatán. There I took a lot of pictures which I posted on my blog. I bought a tiny pyramid as a souvenir. After two days, we flew to Cancún for a lovely weekend under the sun. I did some watersports while my Katie took sunbaths and swam in the warm ocean. After that we traveled to Mexico City and visited all the museums and the huge UNAM. We saw a lot of mural paintings by Rivera and visited Frida Kahlo's Casa Azul. It was incredible. We saw so much culture and learned a lot about how Mexicans live daily. It was by far the most adventurous vacation I've ever had.
