A country I'd like to visit


One of the countries I'd like to visit is Japan, because they have a huge textile tradition, also their landscapes, architecture and customs are very beautiful and particular.
I'd love to visit textile fabrics, as well as coexist with artisans and learn as much as I can from them, their traditions and culture.

One of the techniques I consideer more interesting is the boro, more that a technique it's a term used to describe patched fabrics, fabrics that were sew with patches during the XIX and XX centuries. The poorest families could not afford big luxuries, so they would fix their clothes over and over again, impregnating of stories their clothes, passing it from generation to generation.

I'd like to study in the Tokyio University of the Arts, obviously they have a textile departament, it must be incredible learn new things from one of the countries that have such a long long tradition in the history of textiles.

the best holidays ever



When I think in my best holidays inmediatly I remember Perú, I went three years ago in winter. It was something unexpected, a friend from my previous career (another story) invited me to go with her, and other friend, lucky me I had some money so I bought a ticket to Arica, it was the first time I traveled in plane, the rest of the travel was on bus.
I was there ten days, but was the most intense days of my life! once in Cuzco we didn't stop going to different places, we traveled in the nights and in the days we met many ruins, my favourite one was Pisac, it was a magical place, the trekking was hard, but the beauty of the landscape was unpayable. Others moments that I enjoyed a lot was the travel to Machu Picchu, all the moments to get there were magical, starting by the walk near to the train's rails until the trekking to get to Machu Picchu. I enjoyed a lot drinking beer and eating the typical food from there.
