Last night was our second night in Santiago and some other ISA girls and I already went out! Let me tell you, it was quite the experience! I ate a lot of sushi before I left the U.S. because I was assuming they wouldn’t have it here but I was wrong. On our tour yesterday, Lizette (ISA Chile site director) told us there was a place really close to the hotel that had delicious and cheap sushi. Some other girls and I looked at each other and decided we were on it! I was so happy because I figured I’d be enduring serious sushi withdrawals during my stay here in Chile. On the way back to the hotel Bri mentioned that one of her clo... read more

On Thursday I met the ISA staff and other ISA students at the airport!! I was already at the hotel right in front of the airport so all I had to do was shower and walk over. Well, not quite.

Hotel Rent-a-Home is a fifteen story building downtown (seems like all of Santiago is downtown) and we practically took over the ... read more

Hello all! I just now arrived in Santiago, Chile! The flight out of Dallas took about 10 hours. Oh my goodness, it's amazing that my parents and I didn't get lost when they were dropping me off at the DFW airport. It's HUGE! We went to terminal D where apparently all of the international flights take place. My mom asked a guy if he could take my bags. Thank goodness because they were super heavy. He said "I'll take care of your daughter if she takes care of me". It took me a minute before I finally realized that he meant a tip! I hugged my parents like crazy and entered the airport. This was my first flight ever. After showing my passport and turning in my luggage, I headed to the security check. It wasn't ... read more
