An Ambition

One of my ambitions would be to own a coffee and a restaurant in the city I was born, Iquique. I really want to achieve that to work with my parents in the same place and sell typical Chilean food from all different regions. What inspires this ambition is that my family has a northern origin. To satisfy it, I’d like to recognize that the north has a variety of unknown meals and we could create a menu that shows this interesting part of the culture. Also in this type of business you meet people from many places, foreigners, people from your own country and friends from the city who visit you and want support your enterprise.

I think that with my architecture studies I’d be able to design interesting places that pose a different relation to serve the clients. In Iquique, the presence of the beach and the dunes, as well as the warm weather, sunny days and a fresh wind, allow us to think of places open to the city, to the outside and to the passerby. For the location of my coffee I’ve been thinking on many places. I would like it to be in the Serrano Island because it is a place in the city with a good and important location but until now this tourist attraction hasn’t been exploited. If not I’d like it to be located in Playa Brava, this place is full of coffees and restaurants, and has already   the clients, but there is also great competition. The location of my restaurant will be crucial because creating jobs I can promote the local culture and tourism. I’ll wait for you in my future restaurant.
