iowa 0 #1 May 11, 2012 My little girl (OK, she's 22) is going to Chile to continue her Spanish education for a couple months. She's flying into Santiago and has a ride to her guest home in Valparaiso. Any places I should tell her to avoid? Any must see, must do things? Looking from sattelite maps it should be a beautiful part of the world to visit. I wanna go too. Keith ''Always do sober what you said you would do drunk.

coconutmonkey 0 #2 May 12, 2012 I spent time down there but never made Chile. Stay in contact with her guest home chaperone and have them send you a list of their recommendations. Also, check the Department of State Travel Advisory page for Chile DoS Chile Home Page This should be a starting point but looking for some more folks with first hand knowledge and boning up on the issues is better. It's a great opportunity and hope she has a great time!

She went to UDLA (just south of Mexico City) for a semester for her Spanish minor. It was an incredible experience for her. The one thing I would tell you to tell her to do (beside enjoy the whole experience) is don't go anywhere alone. Make it two. get her a phone with a GPS. Sad advice, but.... Chances are she will have a great time, like my daughter did. lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
