MY BEST HOLIDAYS EVER

2 summers ago, some friends of mine and I travelled to the south of Chile and Argentina; we went all over several places such as Torres del Paine, Usuahia and Puerto Williams among others.

Our original plan was to go trekking and camping in Torres del Paine and hopefully being able to complete the famous “O” circuit, however we couldn’t get all the necessary camping site reservations so in the end we just stayed there for 3 days. Nevertheless it was an exciting adventure, very demanding physically speaking but at the same time really rewarding since we had the chance of being in contact with nature and seeing such spectacular landscapes.

After that we decided to improvise and we went to Usuahia, an Argentinian city located in Tierra del Fuego, also known as “El Fin del Mundo” for being the most southern city of the world (according to the Argentines) The finnest memory I have from that place was the lamb we ate at a local restaurant, it was simply delicious, the best I've ever tried!!! Then we travelled by boat to Puerto Williams and there we went trekking in Los Dientes del Navarino. Finally, we flew to Punta Arenas on an “avioneta” for taking our flight back to Santiago.

These have been my best holidays so far, because we knew beautiful places, nice people and had a lot of fun. This was the first time the four of us travelled and shared together for that long (it was a two-week holiday) and we got along just fine!!!

A country I would like to go is New Zealand. It is an island country located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean and it is part of the insular continent Oceania along with Australia, Papua New Guinea and other achipelagoes.

A friend of mine lived there for almost a year and from that experience she holds the fondest memories of her life being in "The Land of the Kiwis".

I would love to go there, not on vacation but for studying something related to my profession at The University of Auckland; a diploma perhaps or even a master or doctorate program if given the chance of winning a scholarship.

Why studying there and not in any other English speaking country? There are many reasons; first, New Zealand is located in the southern hemisphere so I think the climate could be kind of similar to the one in Chile, besides, both countries share the same ocean, there are also mountains and volcanoes and furthermore, earthquakes occur frequently there so I would not feel very homesick, at least that is what I think!!!
