Hello!

Not only is this a very nice thing that happened, it's also the first tag we've done on this blog, so that's exciting! Imalittlepeanut nominated/tagged us for the Liebster Awards, you should check out her blog, it's really cool.

 This tag was basically made for new blogs to get an audience so here are the rules:
 • Write 11 facts about yourself
 • Answer the 11 questions asked by the person(s) who nominated you
 • Nominate 11 other blogs and ask them 11 questions
 • Put a link to their blog and tell them you nominated them
 • Tell the person who nominated you that you did the tag

 Here we go.

1.  The most relevant thing for this, I suppose, is that I started this blog with Fraser because we wanted to write and have something to do as a hobby.
2. I lived in London for 4 months last year and it was one of the best experiences in my short life. 
3. I was born and raised in Mexico City. 
4. I study communications, my main goal is to be a screenwriter but I've realized how much I enjoy other things to do with media. 
5. I am in a long distance relationship with Fraser, co-writer of this blog. 
6. Before backpacking through Europe last year I had never left the continent, I'd never gone beyond the USA.
7. I have a tendency to be very passionate about things and people. I love TV Shows, books and films. The characters and aesthetics in both are something I can go on about for hours, especially if I find someone who likes them as much as I do.
8. I've started noticing that I tend to buy things with inspirational quotes or cool typographies. 
9. I've practiced photoshop for a long time, one of my first internet experiences was in graphic design forums where I learned a lot and entered competitions. 
10. I own a guinea pig and a dog and I love both of them very dearly.
11. I really enjoy watching cooking and baking videos. 

1. I study Government and Economics at LSE and I’m heading into my final year.
2.  I'm in a long distance relationship with Natalia. 
3. I like going to live music gigs, as you've probably seen in the blog.
4. I own a few vinyls and a very cheap turntable to play them on. 
5. Football is another big passion of mine and I'm a big Fulham FC fan. 
6. I enjoy a good night out in London - favourite cheap places are Book Club, Queen of Hoxton and Roxy 
7. I want to work in venture capital as I'm interested in entrepreneurship. I dream about guiding a startup to success. 
8. Made in Chealsea is my guilty pleasure. Sad / proud to say I've watched from the start. 
9.  I like to try new technologies and gadgets. Walking the fine line between having things first and spending money is the challenge. 
10. I’m into clothes and stuff like that, although I still mainly end up getting things at Topman.
11.  I love to travel and see new places, which I’ve been lucky enough to do a lot of already in my life. I find the buzz of exploring places and meeting new people addictive. 

 If you had to relive a day forever, which one would you choose? 

Natalia: This is a really hard question, I'm sure I've had many good days. What came to the top of my head was one of the days I spent with my friends in Europe, possibly when we went to London.

Fraser: I'm lucky enough to have had many great experiences in my life so to pick just one is too difficult.

 What’s your favorite thing to do when you’re bored? 

Natalia: I usually just put on Netflix or watch videos. I used to read so much while I was bored but somehow this year I've turned to films and TV more, it comes and goes.

Fraser: Listen to a vinyl, watch football and read about politics

 What’s your favorite song at the moment? 

 Natalia: Hm, well, this changes a lot. Possibly something by Halsey at the moment, maybe 'Hold Me Down'

Fraser: Don’t know if I’ll ever have a single favourite song - but Runaway by Young Kato is one I’m enjoying at the moment.

 If you could go back in time, which historical period would you choose to go to?

 Natalia: I'm always very curious about Ancient Greece. If I could be an adult man, I'd go to Ancient Greece. If I had to be a woman then maybe something more recent, like the 70's, just dressing in very stylish and colourful dresses (I'm so boring).

Fraser: I'd like to see ancient Rome.

 What’s your favorite book and why? 

 Natalia: This answer is really boring from me since it's quite a typical one, but I'm going to say On the Road by Jack Kerouac. I think it has something to do with the first time I read it and where I was in my life. It opened my eyes to many ways to view and live your life, not that I'd want to live it like Jack and the rest of the beat generation but it meant a lot to me.
In terms of a more recent book that I generally go back to when I think about a page turner that I think is brilliant I'd say Ready Player One by Ernest Cline (there's a Steven Spielberg film adaptation coming so if you don't read it keep your eye out for that) or The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson.

Fraser: Fever Pitch and High Fidelity by Nick Hornby (the books not films) because they're about my two main passions: football and music.

 What was your dream when you were little?

 Natalia: I think I wanted to sing or dance. Two things I very much would not want to do for a living now. I remember putting on shows for my parents, but whenever I was asked for a dream job I would say a vet (typical for a kid). I rarely thought about the future when I was a kid, I just wanted to stay a small.

Fraser: I just wanted to be like James Bond.

 What’s the funniest thing that happened to you? 

Natalia: Ever? I have no idea. I've been lucky enough in my life to have a lot of laughter. I can't pinpoint the funniest thing that's ever happened.

Fraser: I'm going to have to agree with Natalia on this one.

 Name 5 things that you liked about your day

Natalia: Seeing new places in the city; two gorgeous libraries. Skyping with Fraser, that's always fun. Having a very nice portobello burger for lunch. Getting to wear a new top. Having my mum and sister make dinner for me.

Fraser: I got two lovely presents from Natalia, a card and a pint glass. Also, going for a coffee in Shoreditch, enjoying the last few days in my flat here before I move out.

 Shuffle the music on your phone, tell me what song ends up playing and what’s your favorite lyrics from it 

 Natalia: Riptide by Vance Joy "I love you when you're singing that song, and I got a lump in my throat cause you're gonna sing the words wrong" I just think that's such a cute image.

Fraser: The Luck Has Gone by Circa Waves Not the best song lyrically but, “I got no time on my hands but I got a lot on my plate” is a pretty depressing observation about modern life.

 Tell me something you’ve never told anyone before 

Natalia: When I was a kid I used to hide under my duvet covers for hours during the night pretending my toys were moving around. Blame Toy Story, I think.

Fraser: Pretty sure Natalia knows everything about me...

 Tell me random small things that make you happy 

 Natalia: Nice spaces in houses, interior design magazines or websites, nice people on the street, talking to Fraser, giving hugs, candles, the smell of Christmas, coffee, naps, pubs.

Fraser: Bottled beers, drinks after work/studying, coffee shops, walking around London, the sound of an away goal at a football match, seeing nice cars in the street.
