Valparaíso, is a port at 1hr and half to Santiago. The first time I went was the 2008, (I went before with my family but I don't remember very good). Since then, I travel there at least twices times every year, for many reasons and celebratings. The last two year, I've been in there for the New Year, and it was one of the happiest moments that I remember in my entire life.

The two years I was passing for a sad time, cause I had many troubles and disapointments; the people that I loved most was the most dangerous for me. But when I arrived to the port, I felt release, and free, and really really happy. All my problems and sadness seems dissapear for a few days.

The two time I went with girls who help me a lot to feel great, and never forget all the adventures that we past, like pass to a cementery in the night and when the guard came we have to throght the beers to the floor and jump almost 2 meters. Or when spend a night in the street dancing a celebrating with the other people, and smocking in the hills with view to the ocean, or eating hot dogs in the square, listening the drums in the streets, enjoying the melon with wine (jajaja), or comming back making "finger", etc. Besides, the fireworks are awsome, and seems it will last forever.

Obviosly I have more favorites places, like Valdivia, every year is like a low to me go there and my classmates for the Cinema Festival. But there it seems always like a dream, and I keep it that way, like a dreams that last only for 4 days. In Valpo I know my reallity, and I put my feets on the grown, and still, I'm happy there. Because you must make your own hapiness and not depend of the others, you have to risk and explore all the places and feelings to feel you alive, and move on.

Valparaíso makes me feel fearless, but insecure sometimes at the same time (because you never know what will happend there), but for all over, even having so much memories and melancholy in those streets, I feel free, and I always want to go back!
