Welcome to Chile's Travel

Hi my name is Rebecca West, and this is where you can read about all the cool places I get to travel to while living and vacationing here in Chile. I just graduated from college and up to recently I didn't speak any Spanish at all. I'd always wanted to learn Spanish, and so I figured travel in South America was just the ticket, so I signed up for an intensive course in Santiago de Chile in summer, early 2007. From the moment I first got here I fell in love with this beautiful country, and one beautiful person in particular :-) I've decided to stay here for a whole year - needless to say, much longer than the 6-week course! Also, I will hopefully be living in Chile even longer if I keep finding work teaching English! My lifelong ambition is to be an award winning writer.

But for now, I'm going to spend a good deal of time traveling, so stay tuned and look for more travel stories as they happen, and as fast as I can write them! Also, as I learn the "Chile ropes" I will write more useful things about bus schedules, plane tickets and things you need to know before traveling to Chile. Till then, if you have any questions about traveling in Chile, just leave a comment, or email me and I'll do my best to help you out, fellow Chile travelers!
