:: One Year in Chile ::

When people ask me how long I’ve lived in Chile (this time around, because of course there were the ten months in 2010-2011 too!), I am so used to saying “I just got here a few months ago…”

Until now, when I can officially say one year {As of the 4th November}.  Time has flown by and I can’t quite believe that it really is a year!  And what a year it’s been; full to the brim of changes, adventures and settling into ‘normal’ life.

I’ve thought about how I would mark the one year on my blog and initially thought of writing about my favourite adventures of the year, but then I thought I’d save that post until the end of 2016 instead as there might be a few more adventures squeezed in before then.  So, I am posting photos that I feel symbolise this year in Chile.

Sunsets ::  Admiring so many beautiful skies of every colour imaginable.  The Chilean sky always knows how to put on a show.Trekking :: Carlos and I have tried to embrace as many trekking opportunities as we can as there are so many close by!  Now that the weather is getting hot, we probably won’t be trekking until next year, unless we go to the cooler south in the summer, watch this space.Looking up :: When you are in a new place, you appreciate and take in your surroundings so much more, seeing all of the colours and especially the more unnoticed beauty!Mountains :: This one is no surprise, as I seem to mention the mountains in nearly every post I write.  The mountains of Chile are just too beautiful!Eating seasonally :: In the UK, i’m used to having fruit and vegetables from every country at every time of the year.  But in Chile, I’m beginning to learn which fruit and vegetables we will find in the market in which month, and I love that that always changes.Calling Carlos my husband  :: For almost a year now ❤Exploring :: Near and far from Santiago, both in nature and in the city.  To Colombia, Peru and different places in Chile too.  It’s been a great year for adventuring.Soaking up :: I loved my two weeks back home in London in July and in eight weeks time I will be getting to spend two-and-a-half weeks in London too 🙂  I can’t wait!

Thanks for following along for the last year, it definitely helps during those homesick moments to know I’m not the only one on this crazy adventure!

Happy week ahead!!
