Thermal Baths in Chillan
If you like the snow, this is your place. Thermal Baths in Chillan joins the magic of the mountain with a breathtaking landscape. This place is located near the city of Chillan about one hour and half up to the mountain. You will have an unforgettable experience enjoying the snow; moreover the hotels have many kinds of activities that give you a pleasant stay. You can enjoy ski slopes, swimming pools, tennis courts, and if you like adventure, you can participate in trekking tours through the surrounding mountains and forests all year round. Specifically, you can visit the volcano, the natural thermal baths where you can take advantage of enjoy their therapeutic properties. You can arrive to the Thermas by car or by bus and if you do not have enough money to pay for the hotels, you can rent a cabin near the mountain for less. There are a lot of places where you can stay. So, I recommend the Thermal Baths in Chillan if you want to stay in a quiet place and enjoy the nature.

Hi everyone¡
I am Fabián Salazar. I am twenty four years old. I live with my parents in the south of Santiago, in San Bernardo, so it takes me a long time to arrive to my work every day. I have two sisters and I am the old one. Also, I have a nephew called Bastian.
I studied Biochemistry and I have a master degree in Biochemistry too. I finished my thesis on March, so now I work in a Biotechnology Company in the search of new antibiotics in edible chilean mollusks like Loco. I’ve been working in this company since two years ago.
I like to play sports like football and tennis with my friends. Moreover, I like to run in parks in the open air on Sunday´s morning.
I like reading but I don´t have enough free time. Now I´m reading "Estuche de muerte" of Susan Sontag.
I like many kinds of music, but I prefer classical and rock music. Also, I like England’s music. I think that the best rock bands are from England like Oasis, Coldplay, The Beatles, Queen, Radiohead, etc.
I like many kind of foods, but I prefer Italian, Japanese and Peruvian food, I really enjoy eat out some weekends with my girlfriend. I like cooking with her too.
I study English because I hope to study abroad the next year, especially in England. I am applying to a scholarship in Chile, and I will know the results of my application the next month so I am very excited about that.
Best regards

Something about me...
My hometown is Arica where I lived until I was fifteen years old. Then, I moved to Santiago to live in a farm at Calera de Tango, were I am living untill now.
In my last year of high school I travelled to France in an AFS exchange program for one year. It was the best year of my life, because I lived with a very nice French family were I could learn the language, the culture and I got to make very good friends.
Well, now I am working in the Shot café bar, a gourmet cafeteria of my cousin, placed in Providencia. There I prepare different kinds of coffees and some quiches (French dish).
Some of my hobbies are to practice yoga, watch films and listen to music.
At the moment I’m applying to a scholarship at Becas Chile to go to Germany next year. So in this course I hope to practice and improve my English.
