week THREE

                                                                 !Holi amigos!! ?Como estás?

This was a great week of settling in, getting used to my normal, everyday routine, and having fun! I started my art class, which is epic, and found this cool floor at a random cafe!


There weren't too many exciting adventures, but lots of movement of the body! Dance class on Lunes, runs with Alaina on Miercoles y Domingo, and rock climbing on Jueves.


Here are some more types of food I’ve been eating. A pesto chicken pizza at an Italian restaurant near my home, a typical meal of rice and fried egg con ensalada, and many many cafes (this is a typical drink in Chile, cafe helado: coffee with ice cream). (PS Mom, Gilda made me cansuela (popular Chilean soup that you made) this week, and it was very tasty)...


This week I spent lots of time at the beach. It’s only a 7 minute walk from my house, and so beautiful for the sunset. I am very grateful to live so close to friends, because we get to walk there all the time! Alaina and I made a Mancala game out of sand and rocks, and Mira and Charlotte were having a blast with this adorable perrocito!


A few more random moments from my week: spending a bit of time at the police station when we had a stolen wallet situation (don’t worry, nobody was hurt!!), calls back home and Kyle starting TBS (and learning how to tie a tie…), and a jazz concert with otros estudiantes de intercambio!


That’s all for now! I’m having a blast here making new memories and finally settling in to my new routine. I’ve made friends with some Chilean students in my art class, and feeling a bit more comfortable speaking Spanish (although I have much to learn still). Thanks for reading! 


Chao from me and Pepa!!

    Was expecting an action packed week, didn’t quite deliver but, must I say - I was not dissapointed. Very enjoyable read. Can’t wait for next week.

Week ONE!

Image
August 2, 2026 Hello hello! Week one is complete! What an exciting one. This week was full of orientation activities at my university in Valparaiso, PUCV, meeting new people, and exploring my new home! I have made friends from other states in the US, Ireland, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Belgium, France, and of course, Chile!  The first few days were quite exhausting, getting used to the culture shock here in Chile. I live in a small coastal city called Viña del Mar with my lovely host-abuela Gilda. Every day, I hop (quite literally they do not wait around) on the bus for a quick 15 min commute to Valpo (Valparaiso). The buses are stick-shift here, so quite a bumpy ride! The weather has been rainy the past few weeks, but we've had a few days of sun☀️. My new host-cat, Pepa, keeps me company (by sleeping on top of me every night), and reminds me of the kitties back home. There are plenty of stray dogs running around to remind me of the pooches back home too. Viña and Valpo are full of sm...

Week TWO!

  ¡Buen día a todos!  Week two is all wrapped up- the first week of classes! So far I am taking four classes: Spanish, Latin American Film, Chilean Dance, and Drawing 2. Wahoo! All of my professors are amazing and kind, most everything is spoken in Spanish and it’s all quite fun- especially the dancing… I finally bought some running sneakers (zapatillas) and have been enjoying my jog to the beach in the mornings (my classes don’t start until 11:45!), where I can watch the fisherman off the pier. Some new foods I’ve been trying: Completos (basically hot dogs covered in avocado, tomatoes, and LOTS of mayo- LOTS). Very delicious. One cafe, El Pasaje, has been taking all my money because it is DELICIOUS. Here is a berry matcha that I devoured. And lots of Peruvian food is around- here is mine and Alaina's lunch of calamari and Peruvian fried rice (with shrimp, beef and chicken- YUM). I went on two adventures this weekend. A day trip to Maitencillo, a small coastal town north of Vi...
