Someone i'd like to meet

This question is very difficult for me, but after thinking a lot I realized that I would like to meet Nicanor Parra. Nicanor Parra is a famous Chilean poet, who turned 103 years this year. He is well-known for his multiple and controversial appearances. This guy is also Violeta Parra's brother.  I like him since I was very young, after meeting him through a poem I read in Santiago subway, within a book day celebration. I admire him because he is a very interesting person and I really think that he is a very wise person, When he was young he studied in Internado Nacional Barros Arana School, then he was math and physics professor in this same university! He has published more than twenty books, so he has written around 300 poems.  Because of his tens speeches and his worldwide work he has won so many awards along his life, like the municipal prize in Santiago or the Chilean national prize. In spite of that he has never won the Nobel Prize, although he has been candidate.

The best concert I have seen is The Pretty Reckless show in August 2012. In that moment they were my favorite band, so I was so excited to see them live, although I had to go alone, because at that year none of my friends knew the band. The concert was very cool because the stage was small and all the fans could see them extremely close up and sing very near the band. Well, maybe you know the vocalist, her name is Taylor Momsen. When she was a little girl she acted in The Grinch Movie, so I have known her for a long time, but in that moment she was 6 and when I saw her in person, like 12 years later, she was very different, but still cute! The show lasted until midnight, so my big sister went to find me when it ended. It is a very nice memory because we walk together along Providencia Avenue, in the middle of the night, talking about the concert and other sisters’ things until we took the bus to our home.

Well, the country I would like to visit is Euskal Herria, because it is a place full of history that I really want to know and learn about. Actually it is not a country, it belongs to Spain, but it is a very important location that fights for autonomy and democracy. People in this place have their own language and traditions that are being repressed by others countries cultures. If someday I visit this country I would like to meet the settlers and learn about the history of their nation, also I am interested in supporting their fight for self determination. I would like to work or study in this country, because I can make friends and contacts that will allow me to know more about the situation.
