I'm Max from the southernmost country in south america: Chile!. I love reading, writing short stories, poems and/or letters. I have a big passion for music (I like both listening and playing musical instruments). I have deep interest in languages, I'm here because I'd like to improve my english and learn dutch, So, if there's anyone up for a learning adventure I'd really appreciate it. Besides those languages I studied italian a long time ago, which I still remember (even though my spoken italian is a little bit rusty).
Everyone is welcome!, Don't hesitate to send me a message!
Nos vemos!, See you!, Tot ziens!

Activities
- The southernway: route CH-7 The southernway (or route CH-7) is a long road (approximately 1.603 kilometers/994 miles) which starts in the southern city of Puerto Montt and ends in the southernmost village of Chile: "Villa O'Higgins". This summer holidays I decided to go on an adventure to the southerway by car, but only to its northern territories. Something unique about Chile is the fact that you can go from the beach to the mountains in just one hour (by car). You have to take the international "route 5" if you want to get to Puerto Montt, where you must take a ferry to Hornopirén (that's the only way to get to the northern territories of "Carretera Austral") . Once you are in Hornopirén you have to take another ferry which takes you to "Chaitén" (this trip is a little bit longer than the previous one, because the whole trip lasts approximately four hours, four hours of sailing in the southern fjords and in the pacific ocean). Once you arrive in Chaitén you have to drive approximately 160 kilometers/99 miles to "Futaleufú" (that word means "big river" in the indigenous language) which is a little town near the border with Argentina, in the "Andes". Futaleufú offers many tourist activities such as rafting, canopy, hiking and climbing, I must add that Futaleufú is only fifteen minutes far from the border with Argentina. The only problem about the whole trip is that the road between Chaitén and Futaleufú is unpaved because this road crosses a big natural reserve called "Pumalín". We decided to cross the border with Argentina because we wanted to visit San Carlos de Bariloche and also because I have never been to Argentina before. I must add that Chaitén (the town) is near a big volcano (with the same name) that erupted in 2011, the town disappeared because of the ashes and many people died. There's a little village between Chaitén and Futaleufú called "Villa Santa Lucía" where a big alluvion destroyed the whole village, the cause of this natural disaster was the melting of a big glacier, there still one person missing. I recommend you, my dear reader, visiting these far, wild and probably unexplored lands located in the southernmost regions of Chile, you won't regret it! , but please, be sure to drive a proper car for the unpaved routes! (Don't say that I didn't warn you!).
March 11, 201921 - Antofagasta I've moved in 2009, I still remember that last day of school with my classmates (it was a sunny day). We had to move to Antofagasta because of my father's work. If I am honest, I didn't know about its existence, I just knew that it was a city located near to the border. I've never imagined how different would be Antofagasta. It was a big change, first of all because I didn't meet someone who came from Antofagasta and I haven't experienced a summer with high temperatures. I still remember that day when I landed in Antofagasta ; all covered with yellow sand , big mountains surrounding the city and buildings at almost the top of those mountains. I asked to myself: Is there any tree or forest?. It was a pity: no green places just yellow sand and more yellow sand. The first years were difficult, but then I realized how beautiful could be a place like Antofagasta, because I've discovered its history and secret places. There are beautiful places like "San Pedro de Atacama" which is 2.400 meters above the sea level, it was founded by the spanish conqueror Pedro de Valdivia. It has a very old architecture and I must confess that it's a very relaxing place (since your level of oxygen is lower than in Antofagasta). "El Valle de la Luna" (the moon valley) is one of the attractions of this little town, for those who like meditation and photography the moon valley is the perfect place. sunsets are beautiful! just imagine different shapes drawn in the yellow sands and hills with different colours and textures. Geysers are other attractions, but you surely need some extra oxygen if you want to get there!. You won't find a place like this, where you can find penguins, forests in the middle of the desert, salt flats (where you can float without any help). In summary it's a magical place that you should visit one day.
