Woohoo! I'm off to Chile in 2 weeks (ahh!) and now that I've got my own blog, I'm fully prepared. Well, almost. I'm going to spend the next two weeks packing, watching lots of bad spanish television, longingly reading Isabelle Allende, and skimming through travel books. I've got a hostel reservation for my first night in Santiago, a home-stay and an internship in Osorno and every other detail of the trip is yet to be determined. If you want to keep up with my on my trip, add this site to your bookmarks. My objective of the blog will be partially to ensure everyone that I've alive, and partially to tell stories of my adventures. I won't write again until I've actually started my traveling at which point I should actually have something to say. Until then-- come visit me in Delmar (or Chestertown)!
