My career

When I had to decide what to study, I wasn't shure at all of wich career was for me. In fact, I ended up picking Anthropology just because it was the humanist discipline with most posibilities for me to specialize in the future. But now, with two and a half years in it, I'm convinced that it was an excellent desition. In anthropology I found the theorical and methodologycal tools that will helpme to contribute to change society into a better place, by working directly with people.
This is what I want to do when I'm out of University, and I think that applaying branches of this discipline like Economyc or Polithical Anthropology to the day to day life of small groups of people we can really make a difference in the form that people (and of course our selfs as professionals) live and think about the way they live, for better.
To be a good anthropologist we have to be, in first place, very good writters, then we need to have good people habilities. But what I think is the most important is to have an open mind to understand all the ways of think, live and feel that we'll find when we start working.

the end of a GREAT trip

I didn't pick this photo because it has great color, light, composition, or all of those pretencious concepts people use just to say "hey!, that picture is PRETTY." I only wanted to show it because of what it represents: the end of one of the best summers of my life.
The image shows me and my two best friends of Santiago, at the Chilean Altiplano, coming back from La Paz to Iquique. We were imposibly tired, dirty and poorly feeded, but absolutly happy; the only regret we had was having to return.
The photo was taken by a chilean man who came in the bus with us, he had been traveling too, so we were talking and playing cards with a bolivian girl. After passing the frontier at Lago Chungará, the bus stoped in a diner in the middle of the desert, obviously we didn't have money to eat there, but we had some cookies and tea, so we sitted outside to watch that amazing sunset.
