Chile

Chile grabbed me from the start in Santiago, where I saw the raw beauty of Cajón del Maipo and serene Lago del Inca. From there, I headed south to Pichilemu, meeting incredible people like Narayana and Rusty Surfcamp and learned to surf.

Then north to San Pedro de Atacama, with its mind-bending salt flats, otherworldly landscapes, and star-drenched skies that felt like another planet. Chile’s wild contrasts and warm connections hooked me completely.
