Viaje a Peru de 2 Semanas

April 20, 2017 No Comments

Acá les comparto mi itinerario de viaje a Peru de 2 semanas, por si están planeado un paseo próximamente. Cuando planeo un paseo, me gusta buscar itinerarios en el internet y recomendaciones, para poder armar el viaje perfecto para mi. En dos semanas podrán recorrer distintas regiones del Perú. Aunque como siempre, sentirás que te falto tiempo para conocer (como suele suceder en todos los paseos), y mas en un país como el Perú tan rico en sitios arqueológicos y paisajes espectaculares.

The Dreamy Ha Long Bay [La Bahía de Ha Long, un Sueño]

March 30, 2017 No Comments

We had to finish our trip through Northern Vietnam with the one and only, Ha Long Bay. Located in the Gulf of Tonkin, its emerald waters and limestone islands did not disappoint. The bay was named World Heritage Site in 1994 and it comprises 1,600 islands that are mainly inhabited due to their limestone composition. Thanks to this, the area has an extensive and impressive biodiversity.

Shanghai, Food Diary [Diario de Comida, Shanghai]

March 23, 2017 No Comments

Asian food has always captivated me, since I was a little girl my parents used to take my sister and I to a Chinese restaurant in Medellín, going there used to be like a price for us. Ever since, I took a real pleasure in these unique flavors, and well going to China and having the opportunity to taste its gastronomy was a delight.

The Grand Canyon [El Cañon de Colorado]

March 9, 2017 No Comments

I have been twice to the Grand Canyon and it never ceases to amaze me. I found it even more impressive the second time. It’s a place in which you feel tiny, a place “outside” of this world – literally since you feel like you’re on Mars or another planet – and makes you realize just how huge the Earth is.

In Pau we also have CARNAVAL [En Pau también hay CARNAVAL]

March 2, 2017 No Comments

On a cold winter night, after a long exile in the region of Aragón in Spain, Sent Pançard and his court decided to go back to France by crossing the Pyrénées. After getting past the barricade built by the bourgeois who were waiting for them at the doors of the city of Pau, the capital of the Béarn, they were able to enter the city. There, his Majesty was welcomed by the mayor, and the keys of the city were handed to him. Sent Pançard is a king who represents all the sinful qualities of humans, and he arrives to Pau to encourage the people to enjoy without measure the days leading up to Lent. The joyous town-people will participate in a party (La hèsta), where the King will lead a show of musicians and dancers.

Studying French in France [Estudiando Francés en Francia]

February 23, 2017 No Comments

Over a year ago I decided to come to France to study French. In the past I had studied at a language institute in Paris, France Langue, which I recommend. However, if you’re serious about learning the language, in Paris you have way too many distractions (the good kind of course), and since there are people from all over the world, you might end up speaking more English or your native language than French.

We arrived in Hanoi in the afternoon very tired and without our luggage, but ready for a new adventure. Once at the hotel, the first thing we asked was where we could eat some Phở, one of the most traditional plates in Vietnam, and this is how we began our trip throughout this Asian country.

One of my favorite pastimes and that of many people in the Southeast region of France is hiking in the mountains. A couple of weeks ago, we decided to hike La Rhune, a summit from which you can see the Atlantic Ocean and cities like: Saint Jean De Luz and Hendaye on the French side, and Hondarribia in the Spanish side.
