Welcome to my blog! As you read through my posts, my hope is that you will feel as if you are in Chile and are able to learn more about Latin American culture through my words. I will be living in Chile until the end of June with my host family, las Guardias. I have a Chilean Mama (mom), abuelita (grandmother), and hermano (brother).  While I am in Chile, I will be taking classes at la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso.  I also plan to travel and go on excursions with my study abroad organization.

Bienvenidos a mis aventuras! Welcome to my adventures!
