Hi everyone! My name is Rachel Leonard, I am a junior studying abroad in Santiago de Chile. As of November 16 I have about 20 days left in my semester, and since I am getting sentimental, I thought I would share with you some of the things I have learned in the hopes that you can learn from my mistakes, or at least have a clearer sense of what studying abroad has entailed for me.

Most people, myself included at the beginning of my trip, perceive Patagonia to be this pristine and untouched wilderness in South America. The iconic Fitz Roy in Cerro Torre is the unmistakable logo for Patagonia; the company and the region.

Spring 2017

Bom dia!

In February, I spent a weekend in Lisbon, Portugal with four of my gal pals, and it was honestly one of the best weekends I’ve ever had.
