Favorite Memory : There are so many great memories and even the tough situations and challenged were great in their own way. I can laugh about errors with the language or breaking my thumb the second week I was there. Some of the best memories I have are with my friends and my host family, like playing poker or practical jokes with my host brother but also the traveling was incredible. My favorite trip was backpacking with 2 friends in a small island south of Chile, called Chiloe. We saw penguins, otters, dolphins, sea lions, birds and cows plus gorgeous volcanoes and being outdoors.
