 Hi everyone! Today I'm going to talk about an artist that inspires me. It was hard for me to choose an artist because there are so many that inspire me and lately, many are from social media. So I had to think a little bit about which artist I was going to choose and I decided for Hayao Miyazaki. Hayao Miyazaki is a Japanese illustrator, animator, director, screenwriter and film producer. His career began in the 1970's as the director of a television series called "Conan: The Boy from the Future". His first film was "The Castle of Cagliostro" in 1979, but with his second film "Nausicaa Of The Valley Of The Wind" (1984) is when he began to deal with his main themes, such as the care of the environment, fantastic adventures and strong female main characters. In 1985 he created Studio Ghibli together with Isao Takahata. When I was a child, my mom used to show me Hayao Miyazaki's movies, so there is a great nostalgic charge for me to watch his mov...

I love vacations, especially summer holidays because of the sunny days, the beach and the evenings with friends.  I also have a birthday during the summer vacations, so I usually celebrate with my little family. So for my 15th birthday, my grandma and mom decided that we would save money to travel, no presents, no party, but for me it was the best birthday present.  So in December 2016 we traveled to Mexico, we stayed two weeks and celebrated Christmas there. We stayed in Mexico City, which is a huge city. We went to the Templo Mayor museum, the Soumaya museum and Frida Kahlo's house, seeing all those works live was wonderful. We went to the handicraft markets of the city, there were "alebrijes", that are fantastic and colorful creatures, wooden cherubs, Mexican silver jewelry, and millions of other things.  We also went to Teotihuacan and I was able to see the pyramids of the sun and the moon. We went to Xochimilco which is an area of canals in Mexico City, where they ar...

Hello everyone!  If I could travel to any country in the world at this very moment, I think I would like to go anywhere, but even better if it is a warm place to rest and relax, so why not go to Italy? and get to know the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, swim in its crystal clear waters and spend a hot summer in a town, eating pasta and drinking wine. I would love to go to Italy to see its cities and culture full of art, visit the Roman Colosseum, the Tower of Pisa, enter the Sixtine Chapel and see Michelangelo's painting, see Roman sculptures, go to Milan which is called the "capital of fashion and design", or go sailing the canals of Venice in a gondola. Italy is a city with a very interesting architecture, there is architecture from ancient Rome, Gothic, Renaissance or Baroque architecture, as well as Roman and Renaissance art. Also its rich gastronomy all types of pasta (hopefully vegetarian for the moment), such as cannelloni, ravioli, lasagna, tortellini, breads, piz...
