Dear Friends and Family,
My five months of “study abroad” in Chile have come to an end, and I’ve just arrived back home in Los Angeles… It’s different to be back and I don’t know whether to miss being abroad or to be happy to be home. =)
Anyway, I just wanted to [...]
Location: Santiago, Chile
Dear Friends and Family,
After two weeks of traveling throughout the region of Patagonia, I finally returned to Santiago to rest for a few days before I’ll be heading back to Mexico City, Los Angeles, and eventually, Philadelphia. My study abroad experience is nearly over and I can finally say that I’ve done [...]

Dear Friends and Family,
After four exhausting, but very worthwhile days trekking through PN Torres del Paine, I’ve returned to civilization and am finishing up my Patagonian adventure. In another three days, I’ll be back in Santiago and another three days after that, back home to Mexico City.
Anyway, I thought I’d share [...]

Dear Friends and Family,

Location: Valdivia, Chile
Dear Friends and Family,
As I look back on my past updates and this past semester, I find it hard to believe how quickly this time has gone by and just how quickly time passes in general. Anyway, I hope you are doing well wherever you may be and that this update will give [...]
Location: Santiago, Chile
Dear Friends and Family,
It’s recently come to my attention that I haven’t written an update in a really long time and that some concerned folks were wondering what I’ve been up to since Update #11 on October 26th.
Anyway, I just to take a moment to bring you up to speed on what’s been [...]
Location: Pucon, Chile
Dear Friends and Family,
Just wanted to start off my eleventh update from abroad with a song of praise…
If You say go, we will go
If You say wait, we will wait
If You say step out on the water
And they say it can’t be done
We’ll fix our eyes on You and we will come
Your ways [...]
