The Beginning of the End

As I wrap up my Chilean experience I have been reflecting a lot and I realize that I should make my last blog post in spanish. I apologize for everyone reading back stateside. However, this blog will be for all of you guys who have probably wondered what the little captions at the bottom of each blog mean. Here I will translate each of them, starting with my very first blog post. Enjoy

I love the Chilean people, culture, and life. It will be a great experience. Until next time!

I really enjoy the family relationships of the Chilean people

The classes kinda suck but they are very important in the study abroad process. Im really lucky to be here.

But thats life no? I cant wait to see the next 5 months.

Its art, and all the world should know that the murals can be very important.

Good luck Bubs

The days fly by like the wind, each day faster and faster.

What a great saturday

You can sleep when youre dead, see ya

If each adventure is as good as the past one, I will be one happy man.

Just keep walking along the road for your whole life and breath.

I have to travel to another continent to be in a major motion picture.

SWEET I'm a resident officially

See you later

In the words of my friend, I could write poems if I lived here.

I love Chile's style

See you next week for Chile's independence day

What a life, the people of Argentina and Chile are incredible. And thank god for my friends. They are the shit

Happy independence day. Happy 200th birthday Chile. Thank you for letting me celebrate with you.

This weekend was really cool and I learned that I dont have to go to other places to still have wild adventures.

Its really fun to play with the kids, but when you are trying to teach them something its wicked hard. What a shame.

The hours the days the weeks move perfectly slowly. How awesome.

That sucks

CHI CHI CHI LE LE LE Long Live Chile

The strength is incredible

Happy Birthday Weisser. Thanks for your hospitality, friendship and the life you have shown me here in Chile

Wow Chile is crazy but I love it. Why dont they have a word for shenanigans in Spanish?

The desert, one day of rain a year. 80 degrees during the day 30 degrees at night. What power this planet has. How impressive San Pedro is. I will never forget the landscape of that place and the memories of that great land.

In the words of Anna. I love how 5 guys can dance together in South America

Thank you Pame and Vivi and all of IfSA I couldnt ask for anything more. You created the perfect trip this weekend and the perfect program overall.

Family. How rich are the relations between siblings. Never in my life have I experienced our relationship. Just me and Amelia together enjoying every moment we had. Life is good.

On a day to say thank you and remember all the oppurtunities in life, I have to think of my experience here in Chile, my experience in college, my decisions throughout life. They have been good, and bad, and learning the consequences is not easy. But really, life is life and I have a ton of things for which to say thank you for.

Enjoy life, but make sure you keep learning every day without fail.

You havent lived until you have seen the lights of Valpo in the night sky.

I have seen the big north, the little north, the central regions, and now the south. How impressive the difference is between each part of Chile. I will never be able to forget my experiences en each place but there is something special about Patagonia. Maybe its what the taxi driver said. In Patagonia, you can hear the silence.




Thank you all who have stuck with this blog through my whole trip. I hope you have enjoyed my stories.
