It was winter of 2017, the days passed very slowly, the anxiety increased every day more ... Less and less for my graduate´s trip!

Finally, the big day arrived, I was dying of curiosity to meet the other members of the group with whom I was going to travel to Bariloche. We went up as they called us, clearly, as my last name is with "A", I had to go up first, choosing the place I wanted, reserving the place of companion, my best friend, Samira.

We travelled 30 hours, until finally we reach our destination. When we entered the hotel, the first thing we did was to take the suitcases to the rooms that had been designated, we went down to lunch, and we went on a trip to Puerto Rock.

The second day we went to the panoramic point of San Carlos de Bariloche, it has a spectacular view, with beautiful landscapes. The third we went to Cerro Catedral, it was the best day because I knew the snow, a very touristy and cold place, but really beautiful. We made excursions every day, until the day came that we did not have to go, between tears, we discarded the other colleagues we had met inside the hotel.

The trip back was "short" because we were all tired, delighted with the place we had known and we were never going to forget. When we got to the bus station, there were our parents

During a period of time when I was overcoming a bad situation that caused me an awful pain, Jesus allowed me to travel to a beautiful place.

The church where I serve as a catechist and at the chorus is a really poor one. Its construction was possible thanks to the community’s charity. Last year, as a way of earning money to improve the building, we decided to sell a trip to Villa Cura Brochero in Cordoba. Thanks to God it was successful.

My family and I travel to Cordoba accompanied by our community and a great priest. It was a long journey by bus, but which we spent sleeping, talking, and praying. Also, I have the opportunity of meeting the priest Dante with who I shared some of my problems, my faith purposes and the happy moments of my life. It was the first time I felt comfortable talking with a priest as if he was my friend.

Once we reached Cura Brochero, we were all absolutely grateful and delighted. It was a small but amazing place. The people there were cheerful and kind. It was full of peace, and moreover, as we visit Saint Cura Brochero’s church, we could know how Cura Brochero was guided to be an instrument of Jesus love.

Cordoba’s landscape was breathtaking. Furthermore, I think it is ideal to visit it in spring when nature looks lovely.

It was a special trip for me which I consider a blessing.

In 2013 I travelled to Disney for my fifteen birthday with a group of people from my city.

The place which had an impact on me was one of the amusement parks in Magic Kingdom, in my opinion, it had the best rollers coasters. I had a lot of fun there, I felt alive while adrenaline coursed through my body.

Wherever I went, the people were always very cheerful and kind, it was easy for me to make a lot of friends.  The weather was warm most of the days, the food was not the best but it did not matter in that moment.

The parks were always clean, they had a lot of decoration, especially flowers and their own thematic. It made me feel like i can never be bored because everything was colourful.

Every little thing I did In that place in general  was magical and special to me,  everything was a new experience  because it was my first time travelling outside of Argentina , it was also my first time on a plane. I made a lot of good memories, I can only remember being happy.

On Friday August 31 of this year in Tabossi, the town where I am from, something disturbing and extraordinary happened, something never seen here, a fact that I would call historical.
It was 7:45 in the morning, the morning after a rainy night, when I heard on the roof that besides being raining, hail had started to fall, I thought it would be for a few minutes and then stop, as usual pass, then I did not give importance. But this time it was totally different, after a few minutes where the hail fell intensely and without stopping on the ground, everything began to be covered in white and stayed in such a way for a few hours. Having such a wonderful view in my window, I went out and started taking pictures of the town that was covered in white, the hail covered about 20 centimeters or more and the prints of my shoes were marked on the hail making it look like I was walking on snow .
While touring the town, I saw people taking pictures, filming, and even saw children making hail dolls with eyes of buttons and carrot nose, it was a very cold day but very fun for everyone.
In a few minutes, this became almost viral on social networks, it was zonal news, provincial and even national, since never in the town or in the area had something like that happened. We were all really surprised by the incredible view we had that day, so I think Tabossi on August 31 was a place to remember.

I lost my heart in Mexico. It is the most beautiful and friendly country I have ever visited. I travel there with my family a few years ago. We bought a package holiday to Cancun, and I remember that we have to make our passport and a lot of preparation before we could get on the plane. The plane took off at 2 a.m from Retiro (Buenos Aires) and landed in Cancun more or less at the midday. We did a scale and changed the plane in Punta Cana and I was anxious about the possibility of losing the aircraft so it was from the beginning an adventure. Nevertheless, everything went well and it was worth it. The Hotel was comfortable with an amazing view of the sea. The beach was in a walking distance, with the white sand and the blue sea like I've never seen in my life.

We did a couple of wonderful excursions that week. The most remarkable we went to see the Maya ruins of Chichen Itza. The old city left me astonished, with the architecture, the Maya's culture, and the mysteries that they left behind. Furthermore, we did skin diving, and I do not know how to swim (apparently you do not need to know), but seeing marine life was breathtaking and something I will never forget.

For me this travel was full of new experiences that changed my mind and the way of seeing the world with all the things that man has created, the nature that we sometimes we take for granted. Now, every time I have the opportunity, I traveled to know more places and I hope to continue doing it.

Last summer holidays, my brothers and I went to Europe for the first time. We visited so many places, such as Rome, the Amalfi Coast, Venice, Barcelona, Lourdes, etc. It was the best trip I have ever had, we spent an entirely month with my uncle, Elvio, who live at Rome and he was like our tour guide. Europe is plenty of beautiful and historical places, everywhere you go you can find some history, so we earned a lot of cultural knowledge. I think all the towns we visited made an impact on me, but maybe the Amalfi Coast was the most amazing one it takes your breath, with its beaches and its clear and celestial water, its little villages and lovely people that makes you feel at home. Honestly, I hope everyone can have the opportunity to visit some of those places because you will obviously love them.

Here I posted a picture that I took being there, but surely it is more beautiful when you see it by yourself because you can feel the wind and that peculiar and wonderful perfume of the sea.

When I was a child my family and I travelled practically to the other side of the world and we spent 7 years almost 8 years there, therefore my childhood was there, more precisely in Estepona (Malaga), a very beautiful city of Spain.
At first everything was difficult because even though I was only 6 years old it was weird to not know anyone and see that everything was completely different than Argentina, my country, but it was all so beautiful and new so for me it was not difficult to adapt.

I remember a lot of beaches with very nice water from the Mediterranean sea, sand, lots of sand in which we always played to bury with my older brother, I also remember the streets, all surrounded by ancient architecture because that place, were we lived, is the ancient and preserved area of the city.

It was a city with not many green spaces, but it is not so notorious when you live there, I mean, I fell into the reality of that, when I returned here and saw that there were green in all the corners, yards, streets, everywhere! In spite of that it is a beautiful city.
Another thing that I remember about this city is its climate, which was great because in winter it never felt too cold and in summer it was not too hot eithe.

The thing that I like most about this place is that we were the same distance from the beach as the mountain, that means that one day you can wake up and choose between spend the day on the beach playing under the sun or go to the mountain where if you climbed enough you can found snow, and that was so awesome.

I do not remember much more details of the city, for me, more than anything, it was a very important place in my life for the people of there. I remember the people of that place very kind and worm, everyone tried to help you whenever they could, even if they did not know you and with all those people around me I learned many things, I feel that today I have two very different points of view of the reallity, since societies are very different in both countries, I feel that for all that, I am as I am today, for the mark that left that place on me.

When I stop to think about my happiest memory, I always recall that time I went to a Roger Waters' concert with my father in Buenos Aires, 2012.

It was not the place itself what made it an amazing experience, but the moment as a whole. I was not used to seeing my father very often, so being able to live an occurrence such as one of our favourites musicians’ recital together was very exciting for me.

I strongly remember climbing up to one of the highest stairs in the grandstand. I was really scared of heights at the time, but it did not matter to me in that moment. Once the concert started, I glanced upon the red smoke filling the stage and the fireworks shooting into the night sky, and I also smelled the scorched scent that came with both of those things.

There was a huge projection behind the podium that showed a brick wall being built as the recital progressed – and of course this was supposed to portray the theme of the concert, naturally called “The Wall”. The projection displayed a bunch of breath taking visual effects that played along the music, and made the whole show a thousand times better.

It was not like me to be in those types of events but I totally loved it anyway, and I’m still seeing forward to going to another recital with my father someday, hopefully soon.

Oh, also I have black hair in the picutre, but I swear it is me.

Two years ago, my English group and I were invited to a camp by “Cordoba Immersions”.

We didn’t slept in tents, but we did it in a big hotel. In Cordoba there were a lot of people from different places, like San Luis, Misiones, Gualeguaychu, etc. All of us were separated in different groups with a colour, and each group had a coach, the colour of my group was purple.

Andrew, who was my coach, was a funny, young, and social boy from Texas, who enjoyed making people laugh, and putting a big smile in their faces.

During the week, that I stayed in Cordoba, we did a lot of different activities like archery, climb walls, and roast marshmallows in a campfire meanwhile the coaches sang.

In addition to the good times that I spent with the new people I met in that place, the beautiful views we had when we woke up, and also when we were doing all the activities, were added.

I want to go back in time and relive that beautiful week in that camp.

When I was seven years old I went to Misiones with my family. I don't remember all things we did but there are some experiences I will remember all my life.

On the first day of the trip, we went to “Cataratas del Iguazu” and there we met the “Garganta del Diablo” waterfall, it was an incredible experience and I felt so small in that huge scene. In this place you can feel the power of the nature.

We also had the opportunity to observe dozens of plant and animal species, among which stand out for the easy to observe the nice coatis, colorful toucans, lizards and monkeys.

The last thing that I remember is that we went to the“gomon tour”where you can feel a lot of adrenaline. This excursion allowed us to see the waterfalls in an original way. We sail and we approach the impressive waterfalls getting wet with the steam and the splashing water. It was the best experience of my life!

I think It is one of the greatest beauties that I have ever met because it has a unique composition of colors and sensation that make you feel that you are in a paradise.

My conclusion: A majestic, wonderful and unique that no one should miss!

In May this year, I had one of the best days ever. I went on a day trip to Diamante only for work, but I came back with a few happy memories.

I travelled by car with two of my co-workers. We headed for Diamante early in the morning in case there was too many traffic on the way and we couldn’t reach the city at time, but fortunately, it didn’t happen. The trip was somehow tiring but during this one, we got to know each other at least a little bit more than we already did. Between mates and laughs, we got off in Diamante. It is a nice place, quite calm and peaceful. It is known as “the white city” due to the ground colour and it’s also known because of the “moto encuentro”, which takes place in there once a year. I’ve never went to that specific event, but I think it could be a good option for tourists.

That day, we had to work at a birthday party of a six-year-old girl called Alma. I clearly remember her because she was extremely giggly and cheerful. We had lots of fun with her and the other kids! We played some games and, after cutting the cake, we did a short show about the animated series “Miraculous Ladybug”, which Alma was a huge fan of. She seemed so excited I almost got emotional, I had to admit. By the end of the party, she gave each of us a little souvenir and a sweet hug. Me and my colleagues were touched, and the girl’s parents were extremely thankful.

When we left the hall, we stopped at Diamante’s costanera and once we were there, we sat on the grass and contemplated the view of the city from above. We talked about how good the birthday party was for all. After some more mates, we got in the car and drove back to Paraná.

As you can imagine, neither the town itself nor the fact that I felt closer to my colleagues made me enjoy so much that short journey, but it was the heart-warming experience I had in there that made me choose that time in Diamante as one of the places I will always remember.

Here is a picture of me at our art workshop with some of the kids.

The right place in the right moment can change you forever and bring memories for all your life.  Was in 2007 finishing high school when with my classmates, we decide travel to Bariloche before separate and eventually made our own life.  It was a difficult decision because has to be a very special place where finish our journey together.

Bariloche is a lovely place, local people are really friendly and the town is full of interesting places to visit.  Besides is very cosmopolitan, you can have a great time in the snow and the night life is fantastic for students like we were.  But it wasn´t that what made an impact in me, were the moments we live there.  As soon as we took the bus the magic began and the journey became special.  We arrived to the town, went to the hotel and we made the check in.  At that moment and after that, every single thing we share was full of happiness. That place help to create a relationship that 11 years later still exist, especially between me and the two on the picture.

Every moment with that 40 people, their faces, their voices and the tears of joy we share will be eternally in my memory. I remember the magic of the places we visit just because we were there together and I remember her; Florencia; just a classmate but in that trip a friend.  That place changed us, we went from strangers to family.  She leave us two years later but a piece of her is in each one of us, every time we made a reunion and talk about Bariloche she came to our memories.  For all that reasons, Bariloche has a special place in my heart. Every time I remember the journey and the town, I feel close to my ex classmates and is a beautiful way to keep Flor alive in our memories forever.

A place that will always hold a special place in my heart is my great grandparents’ house, which is located in a lovely small town called Libertador. This is the place where my father’s family comes from; additionally it is only forty minutes away from my city. Before my parents got divorced my brothers and I would go there at least twice a month, now I do not go there as much as I would like to.

It is an old fashioned, cozy and warm five bedroom farmhouse that is situated in an isolated large green field surrounded by pine trees and bushes. Therefor it is a quite peaceful place where you can relax and enjoy nature without all the bustling noises of the city.

Although there is not much to do there, we always try to find ways to entertain ourselves, for example we would play cards and board games or my brothers would play football while I watch them (they try to get me to play, but it is not going to happen). Above all, to me the best part of going there is that I get to go horse-riding in the countryside; it is so fun and exciting. I get a great sense of freedom whenever I do it.

It is a special place for me for two main reasons. Firstly, because of the many happy memories I have, such as birthdays and holidays that I spent there with my family. Secondly, because it is a place I greatly associate with my great grandfather, whom passed away this year. Since I was in Paraná at that moment I was not able to attend his funeral, and as a result I felt guilty for not being able to be there with the rest of my family on such a difficult time. Especially, to comfort my dad and my brother Javier; they both had an extremely close relationship with my great grandpa.

At the beginning of this year, my aunt and cousin invited my sister and me to a weekend break to “Huerta Grande” in Córdoba.

During the trip, I remember feeling tired because we spent 7 hours more or less travelling, and when we finally reached the hotel, we had lunch, and then started our break.

We visited many fields, but I remember the most beautiful, the lavender field. I remember that there were many fruit trees and little seashells. Furthermore, there was a woman who made fragances that smell floral and fresh. And also, we hiked a mountain which had a statue of Jesus in the top, and we took lots of pictures there.

Although those marvelous places, the thing that made an impact on me, was the last night of the weekend break. We went to Carlos Paz and walked along the walkway where we saw people wearing costumes and having fun, too. Then, while we were coming back to the hotel, I noticed something I had never seen before, I felt I was seeing the nature in its best expression. On the road, there were not lights, only the light of the moon and the stars, the shadows of the mountains, and my favourite song playingjust that. I was so amazed that I cannot explain the beauty of that scenery. I think everybody should appreciate it!

I have no photos from that night, but it was like the following I found on the internet. It is not the same to see with your own eyes.

After a lot of years begging my mother to take a trip together, it happened last year. We went to Misiones to see the spectacular scenery of the waterfalls.
I will never forget that place. It is so huge and magnificient that I do not know if I am going to find the words to describe it perfectly. I remember that we had to walk a lot of km to see them but I think it was worthy. While we were walking we saw a lot of animals such as monkeys, toucans, fish and capybaras in their natural habitat. Moreover, there are a lot of vegetation around the paths so we learned a lot about plants ans trees. Furthemore, in this natural reserve we could see the waterfalls from different points of sight. The waterfalls are spectacular!It is really impressive how the water falls. It seems that the water is angry because it falls extremely fast and without any pause.
P.S. in the picture, my mother and I are in the nearest point of sight of the place known as "la garganta del diablo".

In 2016 I went to Bariloche and it was undoubtedly the best trip of my life.

I really enjoyed it because I had never seen the snow before and I fell in love with it. In addition, I had never traveled by plane before, and I really enjoyed that new experience.

I think that what made an impact on me weren't just Bariloche's beauty nor the good experiences I had. Instead, it was the way I shared my time with my classmates... I didn't enjoy their company at all.

During that time I realized the fragility of friendship. Because of their attitude, I decided to spend my time with people I met while in Bariloche, and it was the best decision I have ever taken. I enjoyed my time there as if there were no tomorrow and probably that was the reason why I enjoyed it so much.

When I was in Bariloche I had a glimpse of how beautiful life is when your mind is clear. Moreover, In Bariloche, I met a great friend my age who died this year. When I knew he had died, I started to go deeper into the realization that life and health are fleeting.

To sum up, Bariloche changed my life in many ways, not only because of the great moments I had but also because of the bad ones.

Last year I finished secondary school, so some of my ex-classmates and I decided to go on a graduate trip. We went to Mendoza and San Rafael on August, and visited many places. However, I have to say that the place which I fell in love with was the Andes mountains. I remember I was really excited about going to high mountain (where we went on the second day) as I have always loved mountains (maybe owing to I was born in Neuquén, surrounded by mountains).  For this reason, a place that I will always remember is the Andes mountains.

High mountain is a place that leaves you speechless, it shows you how tiny you are in the world as well as how much beauty is on it. I will also remember how much fun my ex-classmates and I had in there, we played in the snow like for an hour or so, and we took a lot of pictures. If there is any place I would like to go always, is the Andes.

Here I leave a picture with my best friend, Guada, on a en-route stop we did while we were travelling to high mountain. I have to say that the sight there was spectacular!!

Last summer I went to Villa Gesell with my boyfriend.  I always been keen on travelling, and make that trip with him was a marvelous experience. I lost my heart in the beach, the sea is one of the things I will never forget, and although sometimes it was really crowded I really enjoy sat in the sand receiving the sun’s rays, listened the sound of the waves or just floated in the water.

I remember that I got up early in the morning and went to the beach, sometimes while my boyfriend was sleeping, because I didn’t want to waste time, and I never got bored with the view.

Also, you can do lots of excursions; the place is well prepared for tourists. The city center is huge and open until late. So, after the sunset in the beach, we went to the shops, and then to theaters.

I will definitely come back one day. No timetables, no problems, no routines.  Just me and the peaceful sea.

Bariloche made an impact on me, as I could appreciate the beautiful things and spend worthy of my time with my closest friends. It is widely known as an exciting, famous place where students tend to go on their last year of secondary school. Bariloche is fantastic due to its amazing views and to the fun activities you can do while you are visiting.

When I went to Bariloche I enjoyed every second of it. I laughed with my friends, fought with them, took photos, made memories, and also made new friends as well. Moreover, I was amused by how picturesque Bariloche was. There was not a place that I could not stare at as they were all marvellous. Every sight made me want to stay there forever; obviously I could not achieve this.

To reiterate, Bariloche was one of the most delightful places I have ever visited. It was heart-warming to spend valuable time with my friends surrounded by spectacular and inspiring sights.
