Holiday

In 2015 I had the opportunity to have an unforgettable vacation.

For the summer vacation (Chile) I was able to go to the United States - it was a very fun and exciting trip - on this trip my sisters and I (alone) went from Santiago to New York (it is the longest trip I have ever taken as in its entirety it lasted approximately 12 hours). This was our first trip without our parents and in another country that is not Spanish speaking, it was in those moments where I realized the importance of knowing English because it was difficult for us to communicate with others and understand what they wanted to transmit to us. 

We stayed for about three months and during this time I was able to see the Big Apple, get on a ferry, see the Statue of Liberty, visit Times Square, fulfill the dream of spending a white Christmas, among many other activities but, beyond that, we were able to reunite as a family (three generations) because after a few weeks my parents traveled with my grandparents, thus being the first time we were all together as Alarcón family.

Without a doubt this has been one of the best vacations and experiences of my life because, I was able to visit and get to know another country, learn about another way of life, understand the importance of English to communicate with my family (and with others), but above all to have the opportunity to be with the people I love and with whom I had never been able to share.
