Discovering South America
In and around Santiago, Chile
I´m spending 5 months of my gap year in South America! I´m learning the language, visiting new countries and cultures, out to have a good time, see some new things, get to know myself, and meet people! It has been the trip of a lifetime, and now that I'm home all my experiences are starting to covalesce into beautiful memories.
