Across the sea

This is something that I think permanently. It doesn’t mean that I don’t like my career, but I always wonder if this is truly my passion, the activity to which I'll devote all my life. Sociology is a beautiful discipline, but it raises me questions, sometimes I find little serious as a science, too abstract. It's something that makes me dizzy very often.

I have other interests, some even a bit irrationals. Apart from the desire to be guitarist of a rock mega band (as Gun’s N 'Roses) or Manchester United's striker, I think I would love to work on a boat.

Since childhood I have had the dream of traveling across the Atlantic in a fishing boat, work cleaning the floor or washing dishes, or cooking, but knowing hundreds of ports in different countries. I think I have this dream due reading tales of pirates. I'm very curious to travel, to know the world, but I don’t like it's something "off", for pleasure. I like the idea of traveling with little money, sleeping on the streets, with odd jobs, meeting different people, improvising the language, communicating with gestures and signs. So, I think that if I didn't study sociology, as well as working on a boat, I would devote myself to something related to tourism. The only problem is I'm bad with foreign languages, especially with the english jajaja!

Yes, I think it may be something related to tourism management, promotion of tourist centers in my country: to travel, tours, camps, entertainment, events, parties, etc. Displaying the culture and customs of my country and its most beautiful places. Chile is a beautiful place for tourism. We have thousands of miles of coastline, the majestic Cordillera de Los Andes, the wine valleys, forests of the south, Pascua Island, the old neighborhoods of Santiago, and so on.

But this is not entirely incompatible with sociology. I can use the knowledge of sociology to help generate tourist centers of economic development for the community, and involving people in the processes of economic growth in the country. I would one day realize these aspirations.
