“We wander for distraction, but we travel to
fulfillment”
- Hilaire Belloc
Human
beings, as per-nature-travelers, truly feel thrilled when they are traveling. Everyone has, even once, a desire of get-away and stays in other places just
for a while.

| Laura Isaza |
This
week I was really delighted interviewing two “academic peers”. The first lady
was Tatiana Chiquito. She was born here, Colombia, but she spent almost her entire
live – at least her studies -, living in Milan, Italy. She is Colombo-Italian.
She under graduated from a linguistic institution with emphases in English,
German and; the second lady, Laura Isaza, is from here, Medellín, but after she
graduated from high school at the age of 13, she started to travel abroad
several times: she’s been in UK, Canada, US, and Argentina. She
has studied Cuisine at Mariano Moreno Institute in Buenos Aires, Argentina;
fourth semesters of Industrial Design at UPB and a Minor in Graphic Design
from SENA; now, she’s studying Physics at Universidad de Antioquia (in fourth
semester) and Bachelor’s Degree at UPB (“ a rare kind-of seventh semester” , as
she explains”). As life-long travelers, both agree that the experience of
journeying is simply overwhelming (in positive terms). It has meant, for them,
to be in touch with diverse cultures and spend time with many people who have
many differences in comparison at the way they were raised and, the very best
thing: learning countless manners from each culture, such as feeding
differently, adjusting their vocabulary according to the place, and behaving.
Furthermore,
in relation with their last updates on each one curriculum, both have got deep
experiences by teaching. Tatiana was working on a kinder garden at a Military school;
Laura worked in school where she took over a course for physically challenged
children. So that is why she got involved in education; therefore they carried
on this specify degree.
Finally,
there’s another thing missed to say: “A journey is a
person in itself; no two are alike. And all plans safeguards, policing, and
coercion are fruitless. We find that after years of struggle that we do not
take a trip; a trip takes us.” – John Steinbeck.
Questionnaire
1. Where would you like to travel abroad and why?
2. Is Colombia a good place for studing a degree?
3. Do you like or have you ever heard the term "Journey Literature"? whether yes or not, please what spring your mind where you read it?
Wow, that is really epic. I liked a lot the story of Laura. She has to be very strong to study those things in one time.
ReplyDeleteI would like to see them after they finish their studies and see how great their classes are going to be.
Nice interview mister Julian.
Mistə.
DeleteHow do you do?
That's it. They are awesome. That's why I interviewed them.
Hellos, Mister Julian, How are you doing?
ReplyDeleteI have to say that I really liked your interview, you chose two excellent girls. I admire they both, studying several things at the same time is not easy at all, I know it perfectly. I want to congratulate them because they have widened their horizons by traveling abroad.
Mister Duvan.
DeleteI'm doing good.
Yes, it is. I used to study to three things at the same time: music, English and school.
That's want to. Widening my perspective.
1. I would like to go to England, besides the possibility to practice my English, I like it how they speak, I mean, their accent.. and that is a awesome country.
Delete2. As usual, it depends on what you want to study but I must say studying here is not that bad.
3. No, I have not heard about that term, I did not want to disappoint you. What comes to my mind when I read it (is this another flashback exercise?) is lots of books or diaries that talk about experiences traveling abroad and living a dream in a different country.
