AUTRALiA


Hello it's me again, now I want to talk about a beautiful country called Australia, I never have been there but I know that it's so beautiful and awesome because I allways listened my sister's commentaries about her nice city. She lives there since 1998 and she always gives me good refferences about Australia.



I want to go there to soon as is possible, to work, study, travel and to live any different esxperience that its people can give me like surf or another things. I have ear that living there it's easy to travel to the south of Asia I could visit some guys there, maybe I could go to India first.



Australia has a lot of beautiful beaches, a big desert and a lot of wild animals that I really want to know, and maybe, I will buy a good photographic camera and I will take a lot of pictures to be uploaded to my facebook trip's pictures folder.

I want to go there to visit my sister, her son and her husband, they live in surfer's paradise really near to the beach in Goldcoast state. They have a lot of cangaroos around the house and they have a little organic farm in them backyard with tomatoes and some different vegetables.

Salar de Llamara job

Hello, it's me again. Now I want to talk to you about my job and my researches.
I have a nice job, I think these about it because I can combine two differentand emotional topics of life; travel and science. I work on Atacama desert for one year and a half, my job has to do with trees, deserts, water relations and with the ecosystem.

I'm working in a hydrological relation between the Prosopis tamarugo trees and the depth to groundwater in Salar de Llamara. To do this job I need travel to Iquique all months, then when I arrive there I go by truck to the hart of the desert, to Salar de Llamara exactly and then I work sometimes for five days and sometimes for 3 days in that awesome but very hard place.
I say awesome because of the landscape is very beautiful and enormous furthermore I say that is very hard because of the temperatures at night can be -3ºC and 46ºC under the sun in the day. You don't have water anywhere, you need to take with you all water bottles that you can carry.

On desert we can see a lot of different animal and insects communities like Cumpeo foxes, Chilean lizard and some different kinds of birds.
