Overall, the most memorable moments from my semester abroad have been from our interactions with the local community, and I can’t wait to share my new experiences and Chilean slang with my friends and family at home.

Our last field work trip of the semester took place right in our backyard in Reserva Nacional Tamango. For the past 2 months, we have been able to see Tamango, a mountain just northeast of Aquasol (our base camp), as it transitions through the seasons […] Now in the first week of April, we got the opportunity to explore the region while collecting important data on the conditions of the trails.

After a few days of classes at basecamp in Cochrane, our group packed our things (minus our tents and back country bidets) and hit the road yet again! This time we went south to Caleta Tortel, a small village situated at the northernmost edge of the Southern Patagonian Icefield.

After an early morning wake up and a dreary (but beautiful) drive South from our basecamp in Cochrane, Anna and I were thrilled when our instructor Felipe pulled up in front of the picturesque campo that was going to be our home for the next week.

As a vegetarian and self-proclaimed foodie, I was always wondering what the food situation was going to be. […] We have a group of 14 down here and we split our group every day into chores, most of which are centered around making meals for each other.
