A multilingual microblog

Depois de um enorme hiato, sobretudo com relação à plataforma de publicação, volto trazendo novidades — ainda que elas não sejam tão excepcionais assim.

Vocês não sabem, mas eu conto: faz algum tempo que venho me afastando das atividades audiovisuais — ou de qualquer função relacionada ao campo da economia criativa.

Sim, esse ciclo se fechou para mim. Não houve dramas. Apenas segui o fluxo natural das coisas, com começo, meio e fim. No meu caso, reconectei-me a antigos interesses adormecidos — mais precisamente, deixados de lado por causa do cinema — e que hoje me proporcionam algo mais concreto.

No final do ano, por exemplo, decidi compartilhar — ou melhor, dar forma — a um projeto ao qual venho me dedicando há algum tempo e que chamei de “Versão Legendada”.

A proposta, claro, é tornar o conteúdo de aprendizagem cada vez mais democrático, já que sou adepta dos REA (Recursos Educacionais Abertos) e, sempre que possível, disponibilizo materiais gratuitos para o estudo de idiomas.

Como não tenho a intenção de performar, mas sim de compartilhar de forma objetiva minha rotina de estudos, o projeto está aberto a quem quiser seguir nessa jornada. É a isso que tenho me dedicado, ao menos em parte do meu tempo. No restante, venho trabalhando na tradução de materiais educativos — ou seja, construindo um novo portfólio profissional.

Enfim, estou seguindo em uma direção completamente diferente da que vinha construindo — ou tentando construir — na área do cinema.

Antes tarde do que nunca, percebi que não era mais para mim, embora tenha vivido experiências muito bacanas na área — ainda que desgastantes.

Hoje, preciso seguir só.

#Notas

The first time I visited Chile was ten years ago. Back then, I followed the classic winter itinerary every South American traveler knows: Uruguay, Argentina, and Chile. In the years that followed, I ended up visiting Argentina far more often than any Brazilian state.  This summer, I returned to Chile. It was a completely different experience, and now I can’t wait to go back and continue the journey where I left off.

Exploring Santiago

When I arrived in Santiago, I took a short city tour around the Vitacura neighborhood, where I was staying. The area is one of the top places to stay, second only to Providencia — the favorite among Brazilian travelers. Personally, I didn’t think it was bad, mainly thanks to the hotel’s location, but Vitacura does come with a few drawbacks.

Since it’s an upscale neighborhood (which, of course, isn’t really my style), the biggest downside is the lack of public transportation. There’s no metro in Vitacura, and the nearest station was at least a 30-minute walk away. On top of that, only two or three bus lines passed by the hotel. Another drawback is that both markets and restaurants are quite expensive, so I decided to explore other areas to save money. By the way, both my Wise and Nomad cards worked flawlessly for all transactions in Santiago.

Given these conditions, I decided to split my city tour of Santiago into two days. Despite being over 3 km from the city center, the distance wasn’t an issue for me — I love walking. I revisited many familiar places and discovered new ones, which gave me a fresh perspective on the city.

Vale Nevado and Farellones

I visited Valle Nevado and Farellones — two famous ski resorts in the Andes Mountains, located in the Lo Barnechea commune. The scenery was spectacular, with golden light illuminating the peaks and transforming the landscape into a true masterpiece.

Even though it wasn’t snow season, I joined the Andes Sunset tour — an amazing experience that lets you watch the sunset right from the mountains. To top it off, we enjoyed a delicious picnic while soaking in the splendor of nature.

Cajón del Maipo and Embalse El Yeso

I took a trip to Cajón del Maipo and Embalse El Yeso, visiting the impressive dam located over 2,500 meters above sea level in the heart of the Andes. The scenery is breathtaking, with waters that reflected the region’s unique beauty and changed color depending on the time of day, season, and light. experience.

During the journey, we passed through small villages that added a special charm and an authentic touch of local culture. We wrapped up the day with a picnic surrounded by nature — the perfect ending to an unforgettable experience.

Valparaíso and Viña del Mar

I went back to Valparaíso and Viña del Mar. This time, I focused on exploring every little detail of the alleys in Valparaíso’s hills, which completely changed how I see the city. In Viña del Mar, I took the time to admire its beautiful landscapes — always impressive with their calm, coastal charm.
