Cultural Geography

Cultural Geography


When I started study geography I didn’t know a lot of much about this career. One friend talk to me something and give me some information, but I think something like “this career it’s interesting”, but not anymore. Until last year it started, past two or three months I understood real direction of this. You can chose between social/human side and physical area. But, in the reality you can put together sides to work.


For this reason I like cultural geography, because you can combine both areas. This year, on this subject we work in Valparaiso. Valparaiso it’s a nice and beautiful city, but the real life of most people on the hill it’s so different to central area where you can find some touristic square, bohemian and night life.


From geography, specifically cultural geography, you can see any problematics like social segregation, that explain with marginalization to hill and a lot of risk that arise from this: overcrowding, little street, areas where ambulance or firefighters cannot inside because there is no street, uncontrollable fires, alluviums or drug trafficking.


I like this area because it works watching any variable, and not only social variable, or physical area. Cultural Geography tries to explain the reasons of human settlements.

When I´m five years old, my little brother Martin arrive to this world. Since that moment, I understand the real signification of responsibility and love.  With over the years we have very nice moments, and other that we prefer had not happened, but ever we stay together and stronger. In last summer, we travel alone to the south of Chile until Chiloe. One day, after a long conversations around the fire we discuss by a stupid thing and after that, we do not talk to the other. Was a long night with rain. In the morning, by the rain the lake its came up to our tent and all our things: clothes and food are wet. In that moment we need work like a team and forget last discuss, because we need go to other side. After that day, I understand the real signification of responsibility and love.

My favourite piece of technology I think every piece that can produced music was a excellent think to me. My first music reproductor was a MP3 when i was a child, maybe when i have 10 years. In that reproductor i can have just thirty songs, so i listen the same thing every day everydays. I remember have been one year at least with the same music until that Mp3 died. Them, some years later, i think i have a Mp4 where i can put more music so i expanded mi music universe. Since that years i love a lot of music and i need listen everydays. Sometimes, when i listen music on microbus or subway, i can withdraw of context, especially because i hate the travell in subway when this was full of people. Music can distract me, and can do funny one moment. A negative aspect follow the line of distraction. It’s posible, if you go listen music, that you can’t recognized some danger situation in the street, like a car or another thing. Another negative aspect: the battery is not eternal.

Cucao, Chiloé In another post i talk about one holidays with my Little brother in Chiloe, specifically in Cucao. On this place, i think, i experimented a lot of beautifull sensations whit him. But my story of this place it dates back to 2005 or 2006, when i went with all my family. On this travel we stay in a tent for a two weeks, and i could feel the nature, and i’m sure that my family could too.  Since that travel i said: i need to go back here. And two years later, with my scout group i return to Cucao, and i met another beautifull nature places. One day we walk like six o seven hours to a fantastic place, and i said the same words: i need to go back here. Last time, when i went with Martin we pass much vicissitude, but we agree: that travel was spectacular. Cucao is a place that marked my life, i have many memories over there, with my family, a lot o Friends, and the last travel with my brother. If i can decide one place to live i calm, make sure i choose Cucao. ...
