Leaving that beautiful 90 degree weather in Santiago was definitely a challenge for me. I immediately noticed the 40 degree drop in weather right when I stepped off the plan. Looking back at all the amazing adventures I went on and all of the things that I learned within the last week brought a feeling of sadness I as was uber-ing back to my dorm. For me, the most memorable day was our free day when me and my friends decided to complete the four hour hike in the Andes Mountains. It was probably one of the most dangerous things of I’ve done, being that the trails were probably 6 inches wide and we were hiking on the side of the mountain with nothing to catches if were were to take the wrong step. But, walking on the trail and pausing every once in a while to take in the view around me truly made me content and grateful for having the opportunity to come on this trip. Not only was I able to make long-lasting memories with my fellow architecture friends, I also learned how to survive for a week in a country that barely spoke English. I am excited to sign up for more study abroad programs in the future and can’t wait to apply for the London study abroad program next year!
Nice walk in the park after Mestizos
