POST 4: TIME TRAVEL TO THE PAST OR FUTURE

Time travel has long been a subject of fascination and speculation. The idea of venturing into the future, witnessing technological marvels, societal changes, and perhaps gaining insights into the course of humanity, is undeniably alluring. Or maybe travelling into the past to witness key moments of human history, or meet the historical characters that we’ve always wanted to meet.

For me, well, I’ve chosen to travel into the future. The past we’ve already know it, but the future is unknown, it’s a mystery, and mysteries are fun at least. In this hypothetical journey, let's fast forward to 2100—a sweet spot of progress and relatability (or not). Why? The turn of the century has historically marked pivotal moments. Eight decades into the future could either promise a thrilling blend of technological marvels and societal evolution, or, most likely, a dystopic horrible and unliveable reality. I am personally not very optimistic considering the course humanity is taking at the moment.



Though staying in 2100 may sound tempting, if we are faced with an advanced society, groundbreaking tech, and human progress at its zenith. However, as already established, it is more likely that our world will be just a barren wasteland. So, the decision to return is rooted in cherishing the simplicity of current moments and the value of present connections.

Ultimately, time travel is a conduit between past, present, and future. Choosing to embrace the now acknowledges that each moment, regardless of the era, contributes to the beautiful tapestry of our shared human experience.

POST 1: A COUNTRY YOU WOULD LIKE TO VISIT

Imagen
  Hello there everyone, today we're going to be talking about a country you would like to visit and why. Personally, I think all countries have got something of interest. There isn't one single country I wouldn't like to visit for one or another reason (though there are some I'd avoid for a while). Nonetheless, in this case I have to choose only one.  So, I must say I'd like to visit Iceland. Why Iceland? You would ask. Many reasons actually. Iceland is but a small island country isolated in the middle of the Atlantic ocean with a population no larger that 350 thousand people. It's got some of the most beautiful landscapes of the northern hemisphere, and it's one of the few places where you can see the northern lights clearly. The population is socially active and commited. The country is special in many other ways. It has been the main center for genetic studies (due to its small population) and interestingly the Icelanders have no family lastname, they wor...

POST 2: BEST HOLIDAYS/CONVERT EVER

Imagen
  In today's blog, you've got two choices, you can either talk about your best holidays (or some holidays that you really enjoyed), or your best concert ever. Personally, I don't go to concerts, as I don't enjoy crowds so I prefer enjoying music on my own in a comfortable context. In that case, I'll talk about one of best holidays I remember (mostly for the unique experience). Back in summer 2010, my mother and me went to Russia and Estonia for a whole month (it was winter there). It was a special trip for me as it allowed me to meet the place where I was born and lived the first years of my life, and also get to know new places, landscapes, cultures, and some of the people who knew me in my early childhood. The whole trip could be divided in four different parts: Moscow, St. Petersburg (Leningrad), Sillamäe and Tallin (and Helsinki -capital city of Finland- for a single day). These are four different cities, two very famous ones from Russia and two smaller and mayb...
