The Gifts of Life

  1. I feel very grateful for all the opportunities I have in front of me. I am here in one of the most beautiful places in the world, the Chilean Patagonia, surronded by new friends and a loving family. A class mate of mine, Briana Clarke, recently passed away due to cancer. This tragedy is also a beautiful reminder that everyday is a gift, and you need to live each day to the fullest. I feel like being here is a good use of my time here on earth, and I feel so grateful for this opportunity.
Alright enough of the philosophical gab, here are some pictures of my first week here in Coyhaique.
