Do you enjoy travelling? I really do. Travelling allows us to learn about different places, different people, different cultures and different kinds of lifestyles…and it’s exciting!

When I was a child, I grew up in a Christian family and one of my first visual memories of church is one religious wall painting behind the priest pulpit and some framed posters aside. I was too little to be interested in the sermon at that time so, every Sunday evening I would stare at these paintings over and over again. Now, you may wonder: What is the link to time traveling?

One of the framed posters aside was "the broad and narrow way", which represents a way of travelling to heaven or hell. Now, you might find it hilarious, but even though I think I cared somehow about the final destinations in the poster (because you know it's kind of shocking seeing that kind of pictures when you're a child) what really exited me about it was the fact of having this people travelling. I wanted to travel everywhere: to the centre of the earth, the past, other continents, the outer space, the future... There's no doubt that traveling might happen in many different ways.

The one that one of my childhood comic strip magazines "Ogu and Mampato" describes, for example. That of a boy from the present that, with the help of a belt, travels through time and finds Ogu the caveman, and Rena the psychic girl from the future, who will share his trips and go on space-time adventures together.


Or the one that my first video cassette player and recorder showed me when I first watched "Back to the future", of course.

Even though I have already done much travelling, I am sure I'll visit many more places in the future.

In the mid-term future, I wish I could travel all over the world because there is just so much to see and enjoy. However, some special countries, which I would really like to visit in no more than two years, are England, France, and Italy because, in my opinion, these countries have the perfect mix of vibrant culture, history and modern comforts, and also because they have some breath-taking natural beauty. They are the perfect place to start an adventure. In fact, if I had to stay in one place of those countries, it would be Genoa for far, because it is a nice coastal city. 

If someone asked me right now if I wanted to travel to the future in a time travel machine, I would definitely say "yes", not to stay there, but to see how life on this planet has changed for good or bad after 100 years, and if the human being has been able to solve or not the climate crisis. Then, who knows...having a time machine opens so many places and years to be seen.

After reading this, don't you have the impression of having traveled to my childhood somehow? 😲

  1. I found the painting of good and evil very interesting, it reminds me of paintings from the Baroque period, people doubted about their life, they didn't know if there was a god or not.

Believe it or not, the English that people speak there today is quite different...

When I was at university, I studied Spanish-French-English translation at my beloved faculty of Humanities and Art at my beloved alma matter, the University of Concepcion. If I had to define the faculty where I spent almost five years of my life, I would say that the Faculty of Humanities and Art offered me a privileged space to study, investigate and disseminate the humanities, languages, visual arts and music. I wouldn't know how to define the architectural style that this faculty has, but...
