El ultimo post desde las aventuras, porque no se sabe cómo va a ser el futuro de este blog. y el último mes de mi voluntariado: diciembre December highlights: Pyrenees and the visit of MaryGrace aka MG I tried to make a surprise vacation for Javi's birthday to the Pyreneos, but the surprise took the best of me the skiing pistes were closed due to the lack of snow or whatever. but we still enjoyed the slow snowy walks in the Pyrenees, and birthday cocktails in Canfrank Estación (a bourgeois hotel where we did not stay lol). lowlights: the ski centre being closed. anyway, we walked up and went down with the snowboard once  Mid December we did a second-hand clothing mercadillo again. Then a Christmas performance where my role was an old, fat, rich, white man (and I was not the Santa, but just a generic guy who enjoys holidays based on everyone else's hard work). For the first time, I sold my photography prints on a market stand. The things I dare to do while being on Erasmus proj

Power -  Less is More - More or Less Powerless (My poem from the poetry workshop on the 20th of Nov) November2023: still genocide in Gaza and the capitalist month and the 25N -  Día Internacional de la Eliminación de la Violencia contra las Mujeres. But the highlight is : I am acting, dancing and singing! I am on the stage, starting to develop my actress career hahahha no, but at least feel it from the inside, and not only from the light booth on top or directing or taking pictures of/filming the shows. don't mind the lost kid on the stage 😶 Aparte de ir todas las noches buscar javalis, mirarlos o escucharlos, noviembre ha sido... dark, slow, not being in the best energy. well, november. these two pictures of Javi and Zazou sum it up: But to light it up we dance outdoors even if it's cold, we dance in our kitchen just to dance We had one  taller de poesia  (poetry workshop) led by Elise, our poet. my favourite workshop, super limited edition, never know when it will be the nex

 hola el mes de setas, amanitas, niebla por la mañana, y mucho viento. La despedida del verano fue un hermoso viaje sin internet, sin mapas, acampando en país vasco, conociendo gente maja, aqui va un selfie desde unos de los spots que hemos encontrado por suerte (como todo en un trip de intuición rather than comments and stars on the map). "How you fight is more important than how you cuddle" Supongo que lo más importante del mes de la revolución (bueno, aparte de la vindimia, mosto, uvas uvas pasas más mosto) fue mi pequeña revolución creando el performance de “Halloween” en el pueblo. No hice caso al Halloween, ya que me chupa un huevo. O, mejor dicho, convertí mis ideas y deseos en una ruta performativa con temas que a mí me parece que hay que hablar, aunque sea incómodo. Además, mi reputación de tratar de temáticas profundas, dolorosas, tristes como fuera hablar del clima (o lo que has comido en el desayuno hoy) ya es ampliamente conocida. Los temas eran violencia psicoló

Today I had a morning with some Beyonce from Elise's room. It is the little things that make this life amazing.  Yesterday I heard the leaves of chopos falling down very loudly and echoing in the forest. The leaves here are sooo dry they fall. and it's autumn. I am driving now so that is awesome and I love it. Cannot wait for the exam and then bring myself places, all the places, all the natural parks and visit all the friends from close to far. I am struggling at work. My motivation is all times lowest. I am considering ending this just because some people I work with are the absolutely desubicados , uneducated fucks. But it is a difficult decision cause most of the people are the best and some interesting workshops are about to happen. Well, should I also mention how difficult it is when my initiatives and theatre workshop ideas are denied and instead I am asked to do things nobody wants / needs? What was September about? Adjusting to life after the last summer vacation, eati

Bez Bailēm

Bez Bailēm. I saw it on Ansis shirt (Latvian rapper). I went to Latvia on my vacation. While choosing between all the Spanish places, islands, beaches and national parks for a holiday, the idea of visiting a place I know (and mi abuela) while there is still some berries left became the final. OK, I also had a mini beach vacation with my Spanish family. Bez Bailēm. Tengo muchas ideas que quiero hacer mientras mi proyecto e incluso después. Aún que hay siempre algo de anxiedad de empezar proyectos nuevos y todo lo abrumador que viene en ínicio, sé que solo hay que tirar para arriba y bez bailém. Sin miedo Ayer lave mis zapatos en el rio. Era ya oscureciendo y yo, despues haber caminado por todo el barro de la huerta con pies descalzos, tuve que lavar mis zapatos en el rio de tanto barro. Me agache y se sentia tan bien con aguita corriendo por mis manos y llevando la suciedad para abajo. Bueno, suciedad - el barro mismo que esta al lado del rio. Mientras pensé que se siente muy rico, tamb

 We went to Napoli for a youth mobility Pride. To be fully honest I went because of Napolitan pizza. Obviously, the LGBTQ project about filmaking sounded good enough to back up my pizza cravings. As the mobility lets you travel few days before / after I took advantage and went alone to Italy before my group arrived. These few free days before the project served me well to meet old friends, people from previous projects, travel to nearby beaches, walk around Napoli alone and just have time for me in a city I do not know. I went to a local hairdresser, invited myself to dates (pizza dates), went to contemporary art museum openings etc etc. However, the Napoli is a crazy jungle, me being a woman alone most of the time felt threatening not only because of all the stories I have heard but also because of all the looks and unsolicited comments you get on the street from random men. About the mobility itself I have not much to say - other than it has been the worst so far (and I have been to

Estoy inlove

El tiempo vuela. Ya he pasado 1/3 de mi experiencia de voluntariado. Para reflexionar: Mi pasado es aventura y libertad Mi presente es presencia y placer Mi futuro es activismo e impacto Estoy agradecida De los pequeños mini trips que he hecho y por los trips trips trips que vienen Por la gente hermosa con quien trabajo vivo y me rodean, y mis amigis hermosxs que me visitan Por la comida de buena calidad Por el aire rico y fresco Por la cuerpa que me permite correr bailar abrazar Por todo lo que sucede e inspira para crear Por la poesía, letras y palabaras
