Remember that time I got a chocopanda (mullet) in Chile? Well, now you won’t forget. I took some footage of the event and made tiny production out of it. Hopefully you enjoy it. The process was definitely a great distraction from my neglected homework. June in Chile= finals month, so it was a much needed study break.

p.s. In hindsight, eating potato chips while getting your haircut is a bad idea

Horseback riding in el Morado on my dad’s 50th birthday! 6 hour trip with an authentic Chilean barbecue half way through on the top of the mountain.

So i had flirted with the idea before I came here to get an authentic haircut half way through. Little did I know an “authentic” CHILEAN haircut was a chacopanda (mullet). However, I always receive the cheap escolar bus far now because I don’t look like a tourist anymore. Just a gringo with a bad haircut.

My family was here earlier this month and we went traveling to wine country and and el Morado national park. El Morado was a bit more “adventurous” than wine.

Hello those interested in what I have to say! I have decided to give monthly recaps at the end of every month. Thus this would be the March version. All is well here in Chile. If you have any questions or want to hear more about something put a comment on my video and I will respond. Cool? Cool.

The first week has been pretty amazing. It is orientation week and i must say I am really impressed with the group. Everyone has been getting along extremely well. I could definitely see myself hanging out with everyone of these people. Needless to say we have been playing soccer with local Chileans (and winning…beside the point)dancing traditional salsa and tango eating enough food in one day than I usually would in a week and overall having one of the greatest experiences of my life! And classes haven’t even started nor have I met my host family. Needless to say studying abroad has been one of the best decisions I have made in my entire life!

What better thing to do while in South America then to play futbol (soccer)? Some workers at the resort we were staying at for orientation organized a game. There were fans and little kids holding signs for both los Estados Unidos and Chile. It was a great time and definitely a highlight of the trip so far!
