It was in june 2018. I was studying in Sonora and my thesis director told me that his colleagues from Europe  were organizing a congress and he wanted me to attend. I has never went out from Mexico and I was so excited.

This congress, called " 2018 Workshop on Advances in Nonsmooth Dynamics", was in Bristol University in the United Kingdom. I went with a friend but I'll arrived one day before. I traveled by plane. We took off at 9 p.m. and the fly lasted 11 hours so  we landed in Amsterdam at 15 p.m. I have to say that the Amsterdam airport- Schipol is awesome, really really awesome. It is so big, so modern. Two hours later I flew to Bristol. The fly lasted only 1 hour.

When I was in Bristol I was so scared and I didn't understand that the people was telling me.  We rent a house, because it was cheaper than pay a hotel. My friend, Jocelyn, arrived one day later and we went to meet the city. Bristol is beautiful and and incredible. I'm in love with the city.

The congress was great and I enjoyed it so much. I gave a talk about my research and I met some of the most important researchers in the area.

This experience was amazing and I will always be grateful for mathematics because, in addition to how wonderful they are, they have given me the opportunity to know many places.

The first time I went to Disneyland was 5 years ago, and it was in the company of my friends from school. I remember that I was very nervous because I was barely 15 years old. Besides this, it was the first time that I was so far away from my family.

We went to Miami, where we visited 4 Disney amusement parks and also visited the Orlando park, I really liked the Disney Animal Kingdom Theme Park because there are many animals and the theme of the place is very pleasant because there is a lot of coexistence with nature and the place surrounds you.

Moreover, we visited Palm Beach where, it was very cold compared to Mexican beaches, but the color of the sea was an impressive blue. I dedicated myself to taking a thousand photos and walking along the beach with my friends. As we left the beach we discovered an avenue called Ocean Drive where we were mesmerized by the colors and lights of the stores and the shiny classic cars (that teletransported me to Cuba).

All in all, it was an incredible experience where I grew a lot and was able to understand what it is to be independent and have a good time with your friends.

One year ago I have the oppotunity to visit Italy. At that time I have been traveled with my girlfriend. We could visited some of the most important cities of Italy such as Rome, Venice and Firenze. I remember that one of the most remarkable places that we visited, was the Vatican museum. I never seen such quantity of art pieces in another placer, it was amazing. They not only have sacred art also have different pieces of famous artist like Raphael. I dare to say that the biggest piece of art in these place is the "Capilla Sixtina". All the walls in that place are art. Unfortunatelly, it was forbitten to take pictures inside the place, they have a lot of security guards to fulfill the rules. Nevertheless, for me was the best experience. Especially, because it was very difficult to buy tickets. At that time the tickets price it was very expensive. In addition, you have to spend arround four hours in the entrance line. But in my opinion, it is an experience that you should live once in your life.

Last year in April, my father and I bought tickets for an Iron Maiden concert that took place in september of that year. After so much time of waiting, the day finally arrived. That day at mid morning I started to prepared myself for going out to the concert, even if there still many hours left to that moment but, the thing is that I was really excited. At five o'clock my dad and I left the house in order to get as early as possible to the Palacio de los Deportes, where the concert took place.

When we arrived to the place, the guest band was already on stage, they play about two more songs and then left. After a couple of minutes, all the lights went out, then as the courtain opened, the introduction of one of my favorite songs began, which is a fragment of a speech, I recognized it from the first two words and I felt my skin turn chichen at that moment. Then at the same time as the lights went on. The guitars started playing  and the vocalist of the band ran out with a mexican flag. After those moments I enjoyed like never before every song of the concert. I had gone to other concerts before, but this was different from everyone else. This one was a real and impresive show where the background completly change with each song and the vocalist interpretade each song with a different feeling, but with the same energy. I clearly remember how that day and next two I was without voice from singing and screaming that nigth.

It was the best concert I´ve ever gone and one of the best days of my life. If you like that kind of music and the big shows I totally recomend it, it is so impressive. I will remember happily that day for the rest of my life.

Some years ago I decided to study  English in Vancouver. It was a difficult decision because I'm such a nervious person and I didn't knew how to be alone . In that moment I was finishing my master degree and i didn't knew what to do. Suddenly, I decided to travel and have a once in a lifetime experience.

6 months later I was boarding the plane and going to the unknown.
I knew a lot of people of multiple places of the world. All of them teach me different things about their countries . One of the most memorable people was Mariana. She is from Venezuela and with hardworking , now is  living in  Vancouver . Mariana insisted on going to the mountains and see how the snow is. of course i didn't reject the idea and we went some days later.

When we arrived on Grouse Mountain I felt overwhelmed . I just couldn't believe my eyes. Everything was white . Neither of the people that we went there knew the snow before . In fact all of us were from countries without snow. I think that day was one of the most memorable days of my life.

If I can I would love to go back and if i can, live there. People is so polite and is very difficult to know someone who want to steal or do a robbery. I suggest that if you can go, travel , and live new experiences that will full you of happiness and gratification.
