Arrived to the chile

Arrived in chile last week and it´s been pretty busy so far. Spent a week in Santiago, the capital, doing training in classrooms all day and drinking the stupidly cheap red wine all night, was pretty fun! Now I am in a small fishing village in The North which has some amazing surf setups but, incredibly, the swell doesn´t seem to get in much so have had to travel to get waves. It´s weird staring at a placid Pacific Ocean in the middle of winter! But there´s some more exposed places a colectivo ride away which I am frequenting with some locals. All the internet connections are slow here so I can´t upload photos, but will do as soon as I can....Nos Vemos

ChiLE!!


It's ciao to Scotland for a while as am leaving for Chile tomorrow! Really excited, curious, nervous, spaced out, amped to spend the next 3 months over there helping out at a local school, bodyboarding and shooting photos. I'll be living with a local family which should help brush up my Spanish and it's right on the beach so hopefully find a some good set ups for the waves down there.......yeeehaw!!!!
