One of the books that i will always remember it's called Myths of Cthulhu. This a recompilation of short horror stories from H.P. Lovecraft, almost all written around 1921 to 1935. Every story its located on different locations around the world.
What i loved about this book was the sole emphasis on the loss of hope and impotence humans could experience in front of all mighty beings. 
I read this book when i still was a child and i was shocked by the thrilling experience of the enormous creatures and impressed by gods from outer space or even other dimensions. Abominations so big that a normal human would go crazy just by approaching to them.
I was amazed by the loneliness that a man can suffer exploring an ancient city ruled by mysterious lost civilizations.
This was the first time i experienced the cool ways an author can create such fantastic and terrific world just by words and their imagination.

I recommend this book to everyone that enjoys fantasy setups or unsolved mysteries, but keep in mind that if you look directly at Cthulhu there is no coming back to sanity.

This happened more than 5 years ago. It was the summer of 2010 and we had to attend an uncle's wedding in Iquique. The idea was to rush over there by car, stay for about 2 weeks on their guest house and then the trip back was going to be an exploration experience for the north of Chile.

I went with my parents, my brother and 2 cousins. The trip back took us more than a month; we were stopping at every town, beach, monument or cool views. We slept on camping sites, or rented houses, but most of the time we camped. We even slept inside the moon valley on the car. One time at night we were diving on a ground street and stepped in front of a giant fence with a big sing. It was around 3 AM, so almost everyone was sleeping i woke my mom and she read "do not enter minefield ahead". We just turn back as fast as possible and returned to a main road with the fear in mind but laughing inside for the ridiculous and unbelievable situation.

My favourite moment was when we were about to run out of money, nearby the "penguin's island" and we had a choice to made, use almost everything and go on a boat tour for 3 hours or a rent a house for the night and don't sleep in the car. As it was around the end of holidays we just decided to take the tour, and it was amazing, about 1,5 hours. Almost on open sea the ship stopped and we saw a blue whale take a deep breath at 6m from us. I was shocked for minutes, it was so massive and beautiful. It had a dark blue color with an oil texture. The tail splashed so much water that the boat moved a lot. We slept on the car that night but it was totally worth it.

Hi there random citizen it's me, this is my first blog entry, so please be nice.

I would appreciate if you you took a look at this place, new Zealand is a wonderful place that i want to go, there are many good things about this place that you will love it.

First thing first, the beaches and surf, even for beginners like me it's a very cool to do surf, because being two big islands there are beaches and waves for everyone at every skill level; so for me it's a must visit if you like this sport.


And then there are the views, oh boy! The geography of this place makes it for some awesome landscapes with snowy mountains and valleys, there are some breathtaking pictures you can make, even the Lord of the rings movie was filmed there, and you can visit the sets by tours.

If i have the chance i would love to expend a year or two on this country studying and learning the culture and practicing my English; didn't i mention English it's the official language of new Zealand? No?, well big news, you don't need to learn another language.

I'm not going to lie, it's a expensive place, the food and transport are overpriced but being large touristic country t, it's worth the visit and a must go on my list.
