So, You Have Decided to Keep a Blog


Having never before kept a personal blog, this is going to be an experiment for my communication skills, which are, admittedly, pretty poor. So, I turned to my good friend Google for advice, and went to where you can find all the best, original tips: page 10 and beyond (you forgot that there were results after the first page, didn’t you?). Here are some sound words of wisdom from tried and true bloggers:



Find a unique blogging topic-if the story of a blonde haired, blue eyed gringa in Chile is unique, than I am off to a good start

Post consistently-Considering this is my second week here and I am just getting to my first post, this one isn’t looking so hot

Be interesting-That’s easy, I find myself tremendously interesting

I also learned that virtually all tips on how to blog are the same, no matter their source, even if they’re on page 14 of Google results (fun side note: my Google search engine automatically switched to Spanish when I got here. Now I “Buscar con Google”)

Any tips on personability and personal hygiene can be found in this video:




So, with these nuggets of advice, I shall proceed to cover everything I can about my adventures here. Unfortunately, I can make no promises as to consistency, punctuality, uniformity, coherency, relevancy, or any other synonym to those words that you may think up. However, I hope that by the end of my 5 months here, I will have a fresh perspective and appreciation for Chilean culture and travel, I will be able to effectively and efficiently speak Chilean Spanish, and that I will walk away with some incredible stories and new relationships.

¡Vamos a Chile!
