During this time around spring break, it is common for family members of students to come for a visit. Since I am going on the school’s study trip to Tunisia for spring break, my parents came to visit me during this past week. It’s an odd feeling having someone so familiar appear in the location …
I came across one of the best quotes that I’ve seen in a long time, and I decided that I really want to try and make it theme of this journey for me. It goes a little something like this- “The best thing for being sad is to learn something. That is the only thing …

Wow, so here I am- back to home sweet home Santiago after 3 weeks backpacking throughout the south of Chile! I could literally probably write a novel about all of our experiences in the past few weeks, but to sum it up, we were so so so lucky. We had amazing weather almost the whole …
