Hello, everybody!
My name is Bárbara Barrera, but my friends (and all the people, actually) call me "Negra". Let me tell you some things about me before you read my others post. I was born on 9th, 1994 in Punta Arenas, a beautiful city located in the south of Chile. When I was 8 years old, I had to move with my family to Viña del Mar - another city of my country- and I was living there since I was 16 years old. There, I studied in the Colegio de los Sagrados Corazones Padres Franceses, and I made very good friends and I met a lot of wonderful teachers. But in 2010, I had to moved again to Punta Arenas with my mother and my little brother because my step father is a marine. It was very hard because I had to left my friends and all my life behind me. But finally, when I arrived to Punta Arenas, I made very good friends and I met with my grandmother and my uncle again, so it wasn't too bad.
In 2011 I suposed to start the university, but I decided to travel because do you know what? I LOVE TO TRAVEL! So I worked in a coffe calls "Tapiz" for five months and then I took my things and I travelled to France, Germany, Italy, Greece, Spain, Portugal, United Kingdom, Norway and Egypt alone. It was a very amazing experience because I knew a lot of wonderful places and I met so beautiful people. I think to travel alone in another countries could be one of the most enriching things in the world. I definitily recommend it to you.
Then, when I came back to my trip, I had to decided what I will study. And let me tell you a secret: I didn't know (even a year later) what I would like to study. And I definitly didn't guilt myself because, how do you spect that a girl of 18 years old decided her future? So I had to think very hard what things I like to do more, and I concluded that to write was one of them. So I put all my cards in the journalism, and here I'm; studying one of the most wonderful careers of the world, and what is more important, being happy.
