I just want to say that I am beyond excited to go to Chile! This will be my first time on an airplane and my first time leaving the country so this is kind of a big deal for me haha. My big goal on this trip is to gain confidence and experience travelling abroad because I eventually want to travel all over the world. I’m writing this in the airport and everything is just now starting to feel real. I’m so excited to experience another culture! I think it will be interesting as well to see how much spanish I was really taught in high school. I’m most excited though to practice my sketching skills thar I’ve learned so far and hopefully get some cool sketches to show for it. I packed colored pencils that I’m pretty excited to incorporate into my sketches as well. Another thing I’m really pumped for is trying all the new foods I possibly can. I’m a big believer that one of the best ways to experience and learn about another culture is through their food. I’m especially excited for street food like sopapillas. I’d also like to track down some of those deserts that are similar to moon pies but better and Aimee brought them in with all that other Chilean food one day.
