brrr i was cold!
I love Latin America.
I went to school for 2 1/2 years at Florida State University in the Republic of Panama. I would love to move to Panama when the time is right. I have made so many friends here. It shaped me into the person that I am today.
I went to Brazil for multiple months and met many amazing people. I will definetly be going back there again.
I studied in Concepcion, Chile Aug. 2008 until Dec. 2008. I've visited the northern part of Chile (San Pedro de Atacama); and saw the driest desert in the world, and i've been to the south of Chile (Laguna San Rafael); and saw glaciers and iceburgs. Every place in between the two were interesting and fun, but those were the biggest trips I went on within Chile.
During my stay in Chile I took a couple side trips of my own and went to Mendoza, Argentina which was absolutely amazing. My favorite part was horseback riding in the mountains. I also took a trip to various parts of Peru; Lima, Cusco, Puno, Aguas Calientes, Machu Picchu. Check out the pictures!
